Does MSB have any clubs focused on economic development in 3rd world countries (e.g., Brazil)?

Can anyone talk about the Finance Club?

Yo! MSB does have an emerging markets club, which you can find here: https://emn.gumbaclub.org/

I'm a new member of the consulting club, and I am thinking of joining the finance club. The week of October 25 is career week, and the finance club organizes a week in NYC during which students visit banks, do finance interview prep, etc. Since I'm not a member of the club, I don't have more details to share, unfortunately.

I'll be in for RD 2. I'll be at an experience g-town in November. Kind of a long drive (from upstate NY) for only 3 hrs of presentation, but I think it will be worth it!

Does each club have its own career week?

What attracts you to the consulting club? How does it fit in your first-year schedule?

I checked out Experience Georgetown yesterday and got a chance to check out the new building. The event was hosted by two-second years and the information they provided was invaluable. There was also an admissions information session that covered what makes MSB unique, application requirements, and interview tips. I sat in on an organizational behavior class and actually knew the case they were working on (I guess theres only so many Harvard Business Review cases). For the most part, the students seemed engaged and the professor made the material interesting with supplemental material.

RE Career Week: Career week is school-wide event rather than a club thing. Students interested in consulting visit DC-area consulting firms. Students focused on finance go to NYC (AKA Wall Street Week). First-year students are required to participate.

RE What attracts me to the consulting club: when I arrived at Gtown, I was completely focused on consulting. Joining the club, and getting access to its contacts and materials, was a no-brainer. But I've decided to pursue a finance-related internship this year, so I've joined up with the finance club and will be heading to NYC for Wall Street Week. The clubs give you access to 2nd-year students who have gone through the internship hunt, and in some cases, full-time job searches, and can give you tips and connect you with industry people. Clubs also provide tons of information on firms, and recruiting prep, and organize events. The consulting club, for example, just held a Crack the Case session for members (Google search it). The finance club, as another example, is holding a session next Friday during which a finance professor is holding a 3-hour session focused on valuation. Oh yeah, today was Consulting Day at campus, so reps from all of the DC firms (mostly Gtown alum) were on campus giving talks and networking with students. Finance Day was two-weeks ago.

RE How do clubs fit in with the first-year schedule: At the start of the year, clubs hold 2-3 meetings. From that point on, active participation shifts to these functional days, member-only sessions, the career trek, etc. So club membership doesn't really impact your daily schedule. That said, however, the social clubs can require more time. For example, the beer club spent a recent Saturday offsite brewing a few kegs. The social clubs tend to have events at night and on weekends, so while they won't impact class, you'll need to schedule your homework time accordingly.

Hope this helps!

You are working to differentiate yourself from the competition, to show admissions that you can hack it, to show that you really want it...

Did you know that 140 b-schools require admits to go through an online MBA prep program called MBA Math (https://www.mbamath.com/)? The program covers Excel spreadsheets, statistics, accounting, finance, and microeconomics.

When you get admitted to b-school, an MBA Math subscription is purchased on your behalf. But why not purchase a subscription now, and send your transcript to admissions in a follow-up email?

If you weren't aware of MBA Math, you can bet that there are a lot of other applicants that don't know about MBA Math either. If I remember correctly, the MBA Math subscription costs about $150, and your transcript will be applicable to such schools as Stern, Kellogg, Georgetown, Stanford, McCombs, Owen, Tuck, Yale, Haas, etc. In the big picture, $150 is a small price to pay to differentiate yourself from the competition.

If you didn't score well on the quant section of the GMAT, complete MBA Math. Don't leave admissions with a low GMAT score to judge you by. Complete MBA Math, and demonstrate that you can be successful in MBA-level quant courses. Module 1 at Georgetown includes microecon, financial accounting, and statistics (and the stats professor assumes you have mastered the first 9 chapters before the module starts--yes, the class covers chapters 10-17). Admissions is gauging whether you will be successful in the first module. You can give admissions a low quant GMAT score, and cross your fingers, or you can do more. You make the call.

Thanks for offering to help prospective students make a better decision regarding McDonough program. Would appreciate if you guys can help me figure out the following:

How many Indian students from tech/engineering background are part of the Class of 2012 and how many of them received scholarships?
It looks like MSB's strength is Finance, and not Tech nor Marketing. Is that true?

Hi,

Being that I am not a part of the admissions department, I don't have access to the admitted student demographic and scholarship data, so I can't help you with the questions about Indian students from tech backgrounds and the percentage who received scholarships. I would suggest emailing the admissions department directly, or perhaps start by contacting a student ambassador. You can find the relevant email addresses on the admissions website, I believe under the section titled "Connect with Us."

In terms of MSB's strengths, if you look at employment file at the following link, it shows that the top 3 industries for graduating students are finance/accounting, consulting, and marketing. True, Georgetown has a great reputation on Wall Street, and has long, established relationships with many Wall Street Firms, but marketing is very strong as well. Those of us pursuing Finance just returned from a school-sponsored "week" of networking on Wall Street, during which we visited 22 firms in 3 days. The marketing folks were in NYC as well, visiting Moet Henessey Louis Vuitton, J&J, and a number of other firms. The marketing group also spent 3 days visiting companies.

https://msb.georgetown.edu/mba/career-advancement/

Don't feel shy about emailing the marketing club or tech club with a few questions. I've found that students are pretty willing to respond to questions from applicants. Just be respectful of their time; only ask a few key questions, be as concise as possible, and be patient if you don't hear back right away.

Hope this helps!

Adding to 2012applicant's perspective, from what I know there are about 11 students from India and about 9 of them have prior experience in technology. I don't have data on scholarships but last year the school was pretty generous with scholarships for students moving in from emerging markets. But that is not to say the trend will continue this year.

If you're looking at a technology role in the high-tech sector then you're right in that we don't have a strong focus in that field. But if you're looking at product marketing or product management roles in the high-tech sector then there are quite a few resources available in school for you to utilize. For instance, every year we organize what is called the CalTrek during which we visit mainly tech firms in the bay area and the focus in on roles in corporate strategy/product marketing/product management/corporate finance. Last year the trek organized visits to firms such as eBay, Cisco, Deloitte, Google, and LinkedIn.
