Money in saving when I start business school

I am looking to start my MBA in FALL 2019 and I wanted to know how much you suggest you have in your savings before the program starts (in NYC nonetheless)? I expect to go in with less then 10k then take max loans and hopefully land an investment banking fellowship that will give me cash award. Thank you very much?
