Georgetown M17 Review

Experience during the program

McDonough provided the tools I needed to achieve my career aspirations. The location of the school provides ample opportunity to work with international organizations. The practicing professors that are brought in are also incredible - some really heavy hitters including David Roux (Private Equity)

For a career search, some legwork and networking will need to be done on your own. The Georgetown brand does carry a lot of weight, but do not rely purely on career services to achieve your aspirations - you must include personal initiative as well. You can land a job at almost any firm from McDonough, but many of the top firms will need to be pursued outside of official avenues. For consulting, the Big 4 come on campus as does Bain (plus lots of smaller firms).

About professors, classes and curriculum

Professors are fantastic. Many are still practicing and are titans of their industry. (I.E. David Roux)
