Hi,
Thanks for the initiative. I have a question regarding employment opportunities for International students, who want to focus on Marketing/Strategy+Analytics as concentrations at McDonough.

Hi adityag27

Sorry for the late response. It has been a busy three weeks. They do have a career coach for Marketing and spoke to a couple of 2nd-year students. And as far as I know, there are few employers hire for Marketing roles at McDonough. You can look into the career data for 2017. Many students do get a lot of opportunity for the roles you are looking for. I, myself looking for the role in Strategy.

The Class of 2018 full-time job info and the internship for the class of 2019 will be posted soon to the Career page of McDonough. And I do not have the data for exact internship/employment information.

I hope it helps. All the best for the applications. PM me if you need any further information or if you have questions.

Hello,

Can you share some admission tips and first impression about school and peers.

Thanks

Hi Shavaji,

Happy to help. And again, sorry for the delayed response. Our opening term had started and it was packed with a lot of readings, assignments, and projects. So I was not able to login to the club. All the students here are so cooperative and helpful. And most of the classmates are competitive as well.

My impression,

1. The building we are in is cool. Pretty new building.
2. Mcdonough focuses on team, they assign and keep changing teams for each term. So we get to work with most of the cohort.
3. The Opening term was intensive. It is filled with a lot of projects, assignments and leadership activities. I expect the same from the fall semester as well.
4. The class is engaging and professors are really good at explaining the things.
5. We did have a lot of fun with the entire MBA 2020's during orientation and with individual cohort.
6. The career center is very approachable. They give us a lot of information that will be really helpful in the job search or when companies come to campus for jobs/internships.
7. The second years are not here yet, but when I spoke to some of them, they were really helpful and guiding us for the internships, projects etc.

There are many more. But these are most important ones I felt in my first three weeks of opening term.


Hope it is helpful. Please reach out if you have any further questions.

Regards,
GNPTH.

Thanks for the info, I’m anxiously waiting for interview invites as a reapplicant :D. Last year I applied in R2, waitlisted to R3, waitlisted to R4, and was dinged without interview invite. Hopefully this time would be different :p

Please share if any of international applicants have received an interview invite.

Cheers!
