Shiv Arya

Shiv grew up in Rolling Meadows, Illinois, and attended the United States Military Academy at West Point where he graduated with a B.S. in Economics. Upon graduation, he was commissioned as a Field Artillery officer and stationed at Ft. Sill, OK, Ft. Campbell, KY and Washington, DC. After various peacetime and combat assignments, Shiv will be pursuing his MBA at The Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania. In his free time, Shiv enjoys sailing, skiing, and baking snickerdoodle cookies.

Shiv’s Veteran applicant shared some inspiring words on the impacts of his mentorship: “Without Shiv, the transition out of active duty service and into a top MBA program would have seemed hopelessly confusing, daunting, and opaque. Shiv's constant advice, as well as encouragement, was the foundation of the support system I needed to be successful throughout the process. His insights were timely and accurate, and the empathy he had for my background and experiences helped put my best foot forward in my applications. Without a doubt, I wouldn't be headed to a top MBA next Fall without Shiv's mentorship and guidance.” – James Moeller, Yale School of Management, Fall 2023
