“I first connected with the CDO during Bain’s on-campus recruiting event my sophomore year, co‑hosted with the office. Meeting Pomona alumni there was incredibly helpful as I navigated recruiting. CDO advisors also supported me in exploring options beyond consulting, including potential graduate school pathways. I’m very grateful to both the CDO and the Pomona alumni network for their guidance and support throughout this journey.“
