My name is Adam Cuppett. I grew up in a small suburb of Los Angeles, California with my family of eight. Before entering the BYU MBA program, I started and operated two construction services businesses in the south Salt Lake County and north Utah County areas. I am a finance major with a strategy minor and will be working with Property Reserve Inc. as a financial/land portfolio analyst this summer.

My choice to come to BYU was a no-brainer. Where else can you be taught at such a great price by professors who should be at top five schools? The faculty here truly are top notch! The alumni and recruiting network available to enrolled students and graduates rivals that of any other university. My experience in the BYU MBA program has exceeded all my expectations thus far. I have been blessed to be able to build relationships that will last a lifetime. I have made some true friends in this program and will most likely go in to business with some of them at some point in my career.

One of the saddest yet most memorable experiences in the program was the Stice MBA 524 accounting final. Dr. Stice told us the time limit on the final was four hours. However, he said that if we need to take more time we could. So I went to the testing center on the last day of the final six hours before the testing center closed. After four hours, I was still working feverishly to finish. The same was true at the five hour mark. Then at about six hours, the testing center lights turned off to signal that the testing center was now closed. The funny thing is that when the room went dark, I saw about 10 other glowing laptop screens of my classmates who were in the same situation as me. It was fun to all stand around waiting for our scores to appear. Luckily, after six hours of torture, the experience paid off.

I would love to chat with anyone considering the BYU MBA program or those who have already made the excellent decision to join us. Please feel free to contact me any time.
