Hello,

I received admit from George Washington for GMBA with scholarship. They have offered significant scholarship and it will cover almost my complete tuition. I am writing this post to request information about placement scenario for GW and other information.

I am international student. As GW is located in Washington DC, it may offer good opportunities to interact with recruiters. But, as I came to know many employers work for government projects and hence, I cannot work for such projects. Finance is not worry for me. But, it is important to get good opportunities in USA or abroad (including my home country) after spending 2 years for MBA. H1B Visa can be an issue for many employers.

So, I am requesting information about career opportunities at GW -MBA and cost of living in Washington DC.

I really appreciate any information. Thank you in advance!

DC is probably in top 5 most expensive cities in the US for cost of living. Also, as you identify, H1B visa is indeed a concern for many if not all employers of international students. I am frankly surprised to hear you were offered scholarship assistance without Visa credentials for this reason, but congratulations. The money you will save in tuition will likely more than compensate you for the increased cost of living and you won't be saddled with debt on your way out. Begin working on the Visa issues now and the good news is, being a very internationally friendly city, perhaps DC will expose you to the types of recruiters who will provide sponsorship for you to get the Visa during or shortly after school.
