Excerpt from Poets & Quants — "People may associate numbers with facts, but what they often remember is how someone makes them feel. That’s why NYU Stern emphasizes soft skills – problem-solving, teamwork, empathy, flexibility, conflict management, communication – to complement their faculty’s quantitative prowess. For Stern, Emotional Intelligence (EQ) is a differentiator that enables students to build relationships, sell ideas, and grow professionally in a way that data alone can’t. In fact, EQ is the #1 quality that Stern weighs in admissions decisions, fostering a supportive community that values mutual respect as much as hard-nosed results."
