What does “fit” really mean in the college application process? How does research in high school prepare for further academic excellence and research opportunities in college? How should you approach mentorship in college and in the workplace? Pioneer alumnus Luccas conducted research in economics at Pioneer in 2014 and graduated from Harvard College. He worked at McKinsey and in private equity before pursuing his MBA at the University of Chicago.

Luccas also sheds light on the importance of mentorship, including his experience developing relationships with peers, professors, and colleagues.
