From RSM to Cornell University’s College of Engineering, Ritika Roy’s journey is a wonderful example of where curiosity, perseverance, and a strong mathematical foundation can lead.
Ritika shares that her experience at RSM helped her develop strong problem-solving skills, taught her how to approach challenging problems, and most importantly, helped her learn to love mathematics. Her favorite part of the program? The challenge problems that pushed her to think deeper and look at problems in new ways.
Today, Ritika says she feels more confident in math than many of her college peers — a skill she continues to carry with her at Cornell.
Her advice to current RSM students is simple and powerful:
✨ Everything is figure-outable. ✨
We are incredibly proud of Ritika and all she has accomplished since her RSM days. Her story is a wonderful reminder that the skills students develop today can open doors to exciting opportunities tomorrow.
💙💚 Keep learning. Keep challenging yourself. Keep believing that every problem has a way forward.
