After nailing GMAT, I thought I can walk just walk into any B-school I desired. All this was till I came across the rigorous and mysterious admission processes followed by the top schools. I was lost for advice on the steps that I need to follow to successfully navigate through this arduous journey. This is when, Experts' Global stepped in. My interactions with them helped me clearly understand the fact that it takes more than a good GMAT score to get into a top B-school.

In 1789, John Carroll founded the Georgetown College by securing 60 acres of land on a hilltop overlooking the village of Georgetown. Classes commenced in 1792 and in 1817, the School awarded its first two Bachelor’s degrees. The Civil War that broke out in 1861 led to the shutdown of Georgetown College due to the decline in the number of enrolments. In 1876, the students of Georgetown selected colors blue (Union) and grey (Confederate) as the School’s official colors. Under the leadership of Edward Bunn, S.J., Georgetown created the School of Business Administration in 1957, an outgrowth of the School of Foreign Service. Robert Emmett McDonough endowed the School with a gift of $30 million and the School was renamed as McDonough School of Business in his honor in 1998. In 2009, the School moved into its current building Rafik B. Hariri, named after former Prime Minister of Lebanon late Rafik Hariri.
