Thanks for any help. Entrepreneurship as a short-term career goal is definitely not a disadvantage. In my graduating class there are 5 start-ups I know of involving 8 students. The Entrepreneurship club is one of the most active clubs on campus. There are plenty of electives as well (in addition to Entrepreneurship Summer School). Also, check the E-100 group: http://www.london.edu/facultyandresearc ... se100.html

Looks like you don't have to pass up an internship in order to take part. Or is that intensive week at the beginning of summer a deal killer for students with internships?

I can't quite remember how many participate in the end. Perhaps 30+? You have to apply (not everyone gets a spot). Yes, you can do both, ESS and an internship, no problem. Many students do 2 internships during the summer, so ESS shouldn't be an issue.

I have just started 2nd year. Been an incredible first year - had a wonderful internship. But that's all the details I want to share due to privacy reasons. skahuh wrote: bsd_lover wrote: Hot off the press :

Is this starting to be embarrassing or what? It's almost 5 pm in London, still no online application... I am guessing their IT will be working overtime tonight

The application portal is down. May be too many people tried to create an account at the same time. Soooooo much competition.......
