FROM McDonough Admissions Blog: Through involvement in the Georgetown Entrepreneurship... |
 Through involvement in the Georgetown Entrepreneurship Initiative, students learn to see the world as entrepreneurs do, while learning the skills they need to act on their ideas and make an impact on society. The initiative provides students support through academic, co-curricularStartupHoyas and has rolled out countless programs aimed at teaching entrepreneurial principles, inspiring students, connecting individuals to the startup community, and launching new business ventures. Here is a snapshot of the programs run by StartupHoyas that I’ve found to be particularly helpful in my involvement with the startup environment: MBA Entrepreneurship Club – provides resources, networking opportunities, and education for students wishing to start a business or join the entrepreneurial community. The club’s activities include hosting speaker events, workshops, and networking opportunities. More than 80 new MBA students joined in 2015, making the club the third largest MBA organization at Georgetown McDonough. StartupHoyas Summer Launch Program – an incubator program that provides students and recent graduates with the opportunity to launch their startup ventures. In addition to support from faculty and mentors, the school provides working space to incubate young businesses. New business founders also attend workshops, seminars, and networking events in Washington, D.C., culminating in a final demo day held at 1776, which is attended by community members, entrepreneurs, and investors. MBA Venture Fellows Program – a 12 month apprenticeship program that matches top MBA students with venture capital and private equity firms in Washington, D.C. Students work part-time during the school year and full-time during the summer to gain valuable hands-on experience with these firms. Global Venture Capital Investment Competition – the world’s largest venture capital competition among top MBA programs where students play the role of venture capitalists and evaluate early stage startup companies. Georgetown holds two preliminary rounds where students train to become aspiring venture capitalists and startup entrepreneurs and compete to advance to regional and national finals. Georgetown has the distinction of holding the global championship in two of the past three years. Entrepreneurs In Residence (EIR) – an avenue for faculty and students to engage with seasoned entrepreneurs and successful investors to foster collaboration and shared learning. EIRs serve as mentors, guest speakers, advisors, and members of many expert panels. The Entrepreneurship Initiative has resulted in many students expressing a keen interest in entrepreneurship. The MBA Entrepreneurship Club is now the third largest club on campus, and students graduating from Georgetown McDonough have had tremendous success in the startup world. Whether you are looking to find a co-founder for your business, become a budding venture capitalist, or start a social enterprise, Georgetown’s McDonough School of Business has myriad opportunities to support your entrepreneurial endeavors. |

Those who've had their interviews, has you application status changed, or does it remain 'Ready for Review'?

Travel Culture: Other than the Global Business Experience, there are no other trips for credit. Different clubs organize international and national career, social, and service treks throughout the year that can be anywhere from a week long to a few days depending on the schedule. Fall break is mostly the career treks, Spring break is the social treks, and the service treks happen over extended weekends like Easter break or MLK day. The service treks are usually domestic simply because of the shorter time, but we travel a lot. So if you want to attend MSB, you need to make sure you save enough money for all the trekking that's done.
Living: I live alone because I'm a slob lol. A lot of people live either alone or with a non-MBA student in the first year simply because things happen quickly and no one knows anyone yet. Then by second year, people are trying to room with each other. Also look at Rosslyn or Arlington (both in Virginia), and Glover Park which is the neighborhood next to Georgetown, but cheaper. That's where I live so I walk to class, but Rosslyn and Arlington have campus shuttles across the bridge.
Cars: I have a car, and I think it's nice to get away, but you end up giving a lot of people rides on the weekends. You definitely don't need one. But the parking permit is not expensive, and it's nice to have a car when a weekend thing pops up. And driving to interviews along the east coast is cheaper than taking the train and more comfortable than taking a bus. It's a personal decision. Where I live, parking is incredibly easy to find. Dupont, Adams Morgan, not so much. One of my classmates got her car booted in Adams Morgan, and she lives there. I on the other hand am able to park at my front door without even needing to search for a spot.
