Career
During my time as a student in the Fisher College of Business, I have been a part of the Investment Banking Program and Fisher Futures. Both of these programs have equipped me with the skills necessary to be a successful investment banker. Through these programs, I have gained a comprehensive understanding of various financial modeling and business valuation strategies. I have learned about the life and duties of an analyst and know that I have what it takes to thrive as an investment banking analyst. The experiences that I have had at Ohio State have helped me to develop as a leader, as well. As the leader of the Advancement & Alumni Relations Committee, I have gained valuable experience in leading my peers to successfully and efficiently plan, coordinate, and run events. I have learned what it is like to work well with a team and have been able to continue to develop my problem-solving skills.

Rubik’s Cube Competition Video
The video shows me competing in the 2017 National Rubik’s Cube Competition. It was the second time that I had qualified for and competed in the National Rubik’s Cube Competition. Believe it or not, the Rubik’s Cube has taught me so much since I began speedsolving in early 2015. When I first started speedsolving, it would take me more than 2 minutes to solve the cube. I had a goal to be able to solve it in less than 20 seconds and a goal to qualify for the National Competition. After years of practice and hard-work, I have accomplished both goals. I have qualified for the National Competition 3 times and can solve it in less than 15 seconds. Learning to master the Rubik’s Cube has taught me that I can accomplish anything that I put my mind to. Going forward, I will use the same determination to accomplish whatever I put my mind to.
About Me
Hello, my name is Evan Scott, and I am studying Finance at The Ohio State University. I was raised in North Royalton, Ohio, a suburb of Cleveland. I am in the Mount Leadership Society Scholars here at OSU, and I look forward to being involved with both business clubs and intramural sports. I plan to use my degree in Finance from OSU to work in corporate finance in some capacity in the future. Because my mother is a teacher and my father owns a concrete business, I was taught from a young age the value of both education and hard work. That being said, I plan to use these values to not only be successful at The Ohio State University, but to be successful in my future endeavors, as well.
