It's kind of a blank slate and I try to understand financial statements, valuation, all of this in like a week by myself.

So like the usual approach is cast the widest net you possibly can.

For me, there were a couple of people that I connected really strongly with and I just talked to them.

I found consulting having a lot of more diversity, a lot of people being a little bit more open.

So I would say those two things made me shift to consulting.

So recurred again and ended up at BCG where we'll be starting next fall after graduation.

Anything you would like recommend to yourself looking back.

So what I would say is something that I used to do a lot with.

All right, Luis, love having you here.

It's been a long journey, so I'd love to just give the listeners short summary bio where you're from,

all that good stuff to start off.

Yeah, thank you for having me.

So I'm Luis Estrella.

I am a senior at Kobe College in Maine where I study economics and neuroscience.

And I'm originally from Panama City in Panama, I grew up playing soccer, I played soccer my entire life.

When I was around 16 years old, I came to the U.S. to play soccer at a prep school and a scholarship.

I was there for two years and then chose to come to Kobe.

It gave me the chance to keep playing soccer.

It gives me exposure to very strong academics. And I really enjoyed meeting the people and the team when I came to visit.

The sooner before my freshman year at Colby, I started thinking about what I wanted to study, what I wanted to pursue a career.

And I thought I wanted to study economics and then thought I wanted to go into investment banking.

So quickly understood this was a complex industry to break in. So started networking very early on.
