why georgetown

why georgetown:  (this is my answer. give me some advice xdjm. many thanks)

a.The school offers a location in one of the world's great capital cities, which affords special learning opportunities and a distinct vantage point from which to view the world of business.
b.its curriculum is devoted to understanding the international and global aspects of commerce.
c. the school does not believe there is a tradeoff between teaching and research. The teachers are very responsive  to students input. I do believe the interaction between the teachers and students will improve the ranking of the school.
d. the school develop in each student a special set of skills beyond the core, which reflects that student's intellectual and professional interests, The size of the program is an important factor for me. I wanted someplace smaller, where there is a sense of community in the school  and where the charater of the school matched well with my own personality. Georgetown does not have the cut-throat competitive qualities fo some other programs-it is a genuinely collaborative environment. I wanted to surround myself with future leaders that fit with the business world needs.
e.the global experience : the third integrative experience is attractive to me. In the second year, through this program, which emphasizes advanced problem solving, field-based learning, and analytical skills, i can better understand international business issues and adapte to different national cultures.

Do you apply now?

I think the academic part may be the first reasion. The location could only be the 3rd reason.

My two cents

Give you my answer, which has helped me in.

1. good reputation in both U.S.A and China

2. good teaching method that emphasize on integrated experience

3. small size which is good to build friendship, especially for international students.

4. good location: the capital of a country is the best place to understand more about its politics, economy and culture.

Any cons? My two cents:

1.The space in the MSB building is limited and therefore maybe not too comfortable, I guess.

2.Carrer Service Center seems not too strong compared with other peer schools coz lacked of a director, though the school said they will hire one soon.

他是在问allwen99有没有决定去哪个学校。

How about you combine the advantage with your own experience? Maybe it's more attractive.
