Interview with Active ZZ Khan - Quota 3 This morning I had a great time talking with ZZ. I spoke with them about the pledge process, and they gave me some tips on making the best of it. It was fun to talk about the public affairs major, and we bonded over the fact that were both in the same PUB AFF 70 course, it was nice to hear their thoughts on the course since I have not really enjoyed it thus far. Finally we spoke about ZZ's involvement in Sexperts and I learned more about the club because I had never heard of it before. I had a great Interview with ZZ and I look forward to speaking with them again sometime soon!

Interview with Active Connie Liang- Quota 3 I had a very interesting meeting with Connie today. We spoke about her involvement in Bruin Consulting and about my roommate who is also in a consulting club at UCLA. We compared the work that they had to do and talked about the level of in-depth analysis that was required of her for her projects. We also spoke about her position at Nano Law Firm, how she got it, and the work that was required of her. Hearing about that position, I was even more inspired to try and secure a job for myself in the summer.

Interview with Active Vidya Patel - Quota 3 This afternoon I had an awesome time meeting with Vidya. First we spoke about the isolation housing experience and talked about the stresses of pledging, following that we ended up talking about upcoming classes and midterms that we had. Vidya ended up helping me with understanding a few topics that I didnt understand for my Microeconomics midterm tomorrow for which I am incredibly grateful. Because of her, I now understand how to calculate deadweight loss, and consumer/producer surplus that much better. I had an incredible time speaking with Vidya and cannot wait to do so again sometime in the near future!
