Why AM?

Sophomore at target school studying political economy. No finance experience; club engagements/internships have been in consulting and classes are mostly economics, with some stats and econometrics. Did GSAM virtual insights and liked the people I talked to. The work seems interesting too, though I can't claim to completely understand what it entails yet.

Looking for any insights on what good responses for "why AM?" would be for a non-traditional/non-finance background. I'm thinking of talking about my problem-solving and client communication skills from consulting experiences, but missing a link between my academic interests (politics and econ) and AM. Thank you!
