Experience Stern | News & Events

Excerpt from Financial Times -- "DO consider which standardised test is right for you, says Rios. NYU Stern takes an 'applicant-centric' approach, offering students the opportunity to take the GMAT, GRE, Executive Assessment, LSAT and MCAT entry tests. 'We prefer to offer test flexibility without compromising our ability to assess academic readiness', Rios says."

Excerpt from Poets & Quants-- "...among the other schools reporting averages, the next closest is New York University's Stern School of Business, at just under $150K."

Excerpt from Poets & Quants-- "'NYU Stern attracts talented, multidimensional students from all around the globe, and the NYU Admissions team has a really difficult job!' Whitelaw tells Poets&Quants. 'But the most important takeaway for potential applicants to Stern is that our approach to admissions is holistic and looks at not only academic potential and demonstrated dedication to extracurriculars, but also who they are and why they want to study business in New York City.'”

Excerpt from Poets & Quants-- "J.P. Eggers is equally bullish on Stern’s New York digs. 'Our location in downtown Manhattan’s Greenwich Village is an unmatched asset,” he tells P&Q. We are deeply connected to the industries in our neighborhood and the surrounding areas — tech, finance, entertainment, media and more. We bring New York City right into our classroom with adjuncts who work in industry and teach our students. And we partner with companies on real-world projects through our Stern Solutions offerings. Alumni are a quick walk or subway ride away for networking.  Not to mention that students can readily explore the city’s culture from food to art to music and more.'”

Excerpt from Find MBA-- "NYU Stern admits about 770 students from around 4,000 applications, giving the school a 19 percent admissions rate. Some 41 percent of the students are women, 32 percent are from overseas (representing 32 countries) and 10 percent are US military veterans or are on active duty. Some 36 percent identify as US minorities. The average GMAT is 729 and the average GPA is 3.59."

Excerpt from Poets & Quants-- "The first cohort started this fall, and the BTE Design Sprint was its first big hands-on project. The weeklong immersion was hosted by MAS Event + Design, a female- and Stern alumni-founded experience agency, at its DUMBO studio. (DUMBO – Down Under the Manhattan Bridge Overpass – is the Brooklyn neighborhood known for its innovative startups and tech-focused entrepreneurs).
 
BTE students worked in teams alongside four New York City startups, tackling unique challenges facing the early-stage ventures."

Excerpt from Poets & Quants-- "NYU Stern’s “Pick Six,” or as I like to call it, Six Pix, was one of the most enjoyable and creative essay prompts I did during my MBA application journey. I felt like it was a great opportunity for the MBA Admissions team to get to know me beyond just my resume, EQ Endorsements, essays, and application."

Excerpt from Poets & Quants-- "I think we have, over eight years, demonstrated that this is a real subject, that it can be done with academic rigor, and it can actually make a difference. The reality is these are the issues that a lot of business leaders struggle with. These are the things that keep leaders of Fortune 500 companies up at night, often when they get caught in the middle of a crisis. It’s important for business schools, teaching the next generations of leaders, to prepare corporate leaders about the subject."

Excerpt from Poets & Quants-- "I was originally at NYU, so it just seemed fitting to continue to work on the stuff I do while at Stern. Stern also has one of the best finance departments in the country with a number of world leading faculty.  I think the best way to explain it would be: When you come to an MBA experience, like Stern, you meet very talented and smart people but also very emotionally intelligent people."

Excerpt from Accepted.com-- "The MSQM provides business basics, essentially, the MBA core plus analytics courses. The combination is designed to help students become data-literate managers and leaders. That’s the really short headline about it. It’s 20 months from start to finish and it’s lock-step, so there are no electives. Students take one course at a time for three to three and a half weeks per course. They come one right on top of the next and are pretty intense, but we’ve calibrated them so they are manageable for motivated students."

Excerpt from Poets & Quants-- "NYU Stern was the perfect place to start Circle. We interviewed our MBA fellows on their experience with offline and online networking events and we met with the Office of Career Development to hear the school’s perspective on what pain points they had holding networking events online. We also had amazing professors as advisors and I (Kidae) am currently a member of the Stern Venture Fellowship program, which supports high potential NYU entrepreneurs in advancing their venture through a customized summer program"

Excerpt from Find MBA-- "It was also a record year for the GMAT at NYU Stern School of Business in New York. The average score hit 729. Even so, Stern added three new admissions test options — LSAT, MCAT and DAT — to its application process this year. Stern also accepts the GMAT, GRE and Executive Assessment."

"Lisa Rios, assistant dean of MBA admissions at Stern, believes that 'a more seamless process for applicants' resulted in an eight percent increase in MBA applications this year."

Excerpt from Accepted.com-- “'Stern has an established strength in delivering quality with flexibility, from the legacy of our part-time MBA program, to the successful launch of our online MS in Quantitative Management program a few years ago, to introducing an online option for select courses in the past year,' said JP Eggers, Vice Dean of MBA and Graduate Programs, NYU Stern. 'Through these experiences, we learned just how much our working professional students value flexibility, which reflects the reality many of them now encounter in their careers as the future of work continues to shift, often unexpectedly. The new Online/Modular option will give students flexibility and access to our Greenwich Village campus and all New York City has to offer. It’s the best of both worlds.'”

Excerpt from Poets & Quants-- "New York has been the perfect place to explore potential future careers as I transitioned from a non-traditional background in the military and education. If I wanted to explore the world of finance, Stern’s MBA and undergraduate program have a robust alumni network already established. Consulting? Most of the top firms are headquartered here, which may explain why consulting is one of the three largest employers of Stern grads in the 2021 Employment Report."

Excerpt from Fortune-- “'Not only do we want students in the classroom who are able to handle the academic rigor of the program for the IQ piece, but also folks who have the skills that we’re hearing time and time again from recruiters on the career side that they need in their companies and organizations,' says Lisa Rios, NYU Stern’s assistant dean of MBA admissions."

Excerpt from Executive Courses-- “‘I see this as the opposite of cuddly; in the last few years, corporate leaders have come to understand that focusing on profits to the detriment of other stakeholders has led to negative impacts on shareholders in terms of increased operational, reputational and regulatory risk,’ says Tensie Whelan, director of the NYU Stern Center for Sustainable Business.”

Excerpt from Find MBA-- "Lisa Rios, Stern’s assistant dean of MBA admissions, puts the gains down to the combination of a more seamless process for applicants and strong demand for MBA places. 'For the 2020-2021 admissions cycle, NYU Stern continued to adopt an applicant-centric approach, including adding three new standardized test options — LSAT, MCAT and DAT — to the existing GMAT, GRE and Executive Assessment,' she says."

Excerpt from Fortune-- "Stern is now the only top 10 B-school (as deemed by Fortune) to offer a hybrid MBA program." 
 
“'Our approach has been to be first and fast to market, in sync with the rapid pace of change of business,' JP Eggers, Stern’s vice dean of MBA and graduate programs, tells Fortune. 'The new online/modular option offers even more flexibility for working professionals, which is more essential than ever given the trends we’re seeing on the future of work.'”

Excerpt from Fortune-- "For example, New York University’s Stern School of Business saw 96% of its 2021 full-time MBA graduates receive a job offer within three months of graduation."

Excerpt from Poets & Quants-- “'We live in a world in which the norms and needs of organizations and the professionals who work for them continue to evolve, often with great speed,' says Raghu Sundaram, Stern’s dean. 'We recognize that one size does not fit all and hope to be giving students more innovative ways to customize their MBA experience.'”
 
“'We specifically designed this option to combine the added convenience and flexibility of some online courses with the ability to easily access NYC for in-person courses,' Eggers tells Poets&Quants. 'We have intentionally set up the option to be a hybrid of online and in-person because we believe that coming to New York City and taking some of the classes on campus is an integral component of the NYU Stern MBA experience.'"

New York University Stern School of Business today announced the launch of a new Online/Modular option in the Langone Part-time MBA Program, building on the program’s heritage of flexible options for working professionals. 

Excerpt from Clear Admit-- "Once I learned about the Fertitta Veterans Program, I became fully invested in earning admission to Stern. The Fertitta Veterans Program was created thanks to a generous gift from alumnus Lorenzo Fertitta (MBA ’93) and brother Frank J. Fertitta III and designed to support the transition to business school of US military vets and active duty students. Stern’s commitment to advancing the Veteran community crystallized my realization that Stern was the school for me."

Excerpt from Poets & Quants-- "The class that has been the most valuable in building this startup for me would be “Getting to Launch: The Lean Startup“ with Professor Cynthia Franklin. This class took me through the ways in which to launch a startup and how to continuously be iterating to create a product that could quickly find product market fit. This class highlighted the need to move fast and put your product out instead of focusing on perfection over the timing. That lesson was invaluable for me in my startup journey."
