Georgetown: What are your influences for studying business?

APPLICANTS TO THE MCDONOUGH SCHOOL OF BUSINESS: Briefly describe the factors that have influenced your interest in studying business.

Some feedback would be awesome for this short essay. I was debating whether or not to include a small concluding paragraph tying in my influences, but was not sure if it needed it. Any feedback would be great!

The most important factor in my decision to study business is the national financial crisis. In 2008 banks were starting to collapse, and automobile manufacturer's needed bailout money in order to survive. Since these situations have taken place, I have become increasingly interested in learning how to prevent them from happening, and look to use the knowledge from the business curriculum to aid possible solutions.

The challenge in pulling the economy out of the recession and into economic growth is another factor that is greatly influencing me to study business. With the rigorous course curriculum at McDonough School of Business, I am confident in my ability to one day propose a more efficient budget system that would allow individuals and corporations to better stimulate the economy. I relish the possibility for me to contribute to an important national issue.

Another important influence on me is the practice of ethical behavior among businesses. Since the economy is struggling, some businesses tend to act fraudulently. My financial accounting teacher has mentioned on numerous occasions that when there is a recession, there is fraud. I would like to utilize my strong ethical morals and values in making sure that individuals and corporations are using fair business practice.

I like how you are confident in yourself and believe you can make a change.

This short essay is very well written and though out. You are also coming in with a mission and you give your reason for that mission.

(This is an optional suggestion, you really don't need it, but it could be good with the essay.) I think you should say something about their top ranked staff and how they could aid you to getting a great undergrad degree.

This is a really well written essay. I agree with jemeshay and think that you should say something about the staff at Georgetown. If you've visited the school, maybe mention specific programs at this school that you feel would help reach your goals. Good Luck! :)

The only reason why I don't want to include information about the staff is because they are not an influence for me to go to Georgetown. I know it's a good school, but to include the influence of the staff on my decision to attend kind of stems away from the angle of my three original influences. Thank you for your comments!
