Excerpt from Poets & Quants -- "Professor Deepak Hegde, founding director of Endless Frontier Labs at NYU Stern and director of the Berkley Center for Entrepreneurship, was extremely helpful in shaping our early plans. Hegde taught me to approach the startup like a scientist, which is through data-driven hypothesis testing. This, along with teaching me how to weigh trade-offs when choosing our initial target market and how to approach the go-to market based on our choice of customer, ensured that we had a product that people wanted."

Excerpt from Poets & Quants -- "Financial analysis previously was foreign and mystifying to me. He made analyzing financial statements not only very digestible, but also taught me how to read between those lines. He has a great sense of humor that clicked with me; everything discussed in class could be challenged, which made for very worthwhile class lectures.”

Today New York University Stern School of Business announced breaking news: its one-year Andre Koo Technology and Entrepreneurship MBA will shift to a test-optional policy for the current admissions cycle. Candidates applying to enroll in the May 2023 incoming cohort will not be required to submit a standardized test score regardless of their employment status. 

Excerpt from Poets & Quants -- "I was definitely attracted to the network at NYU Stern, which is particularly strong in New York City (where I wanted to end up). Its location means that Stern students are more easily able to have in-person coffee chats, corporate presentations, and site visits with companies in the city."

Excerpt from 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,' JP Eggers, Stern’s vice dean of MBA and graduate programs, told P&Q at the program’s launch."

James Bessen, an economist and technologist, serves as Executive Director of the Technology & Policy Research Initiative at Boston University. He has also been a successful innovator and CEO of a software company. Bessen studies the major economic impacts of technology on society (see New York Times profile), writing academic papers, magazine articles, and books. His latest book, The New Goliaths (Yale 2022), argues that major firms’ investments in proprietary software systems have allowed them to increase their dominance of industries, slowing aggregate innovation and raising income inequality.

Excerpt from Poets & Quants -- "Even as gender parity continues to be an elusive goal for the majority of MBA programs, here, now, is an MBA that has enrolled more women than men – and in tech no less. For the Class of 2023, Stern’s tech MBA is 55% women, up from the 42% it enrolled for its inaugural class.
 
Meanwhile, it’s achieved 100% employment for 2 out of 3 of its graduating classes."

Excerpt from Clear Admit -- "Stern made the transition easier than I could have imagined through the Fertitta Veterans Program, named for alumnus Lorenzo Fertitta (MBA ’93) and his brother Frank J. Fertitta III thanks to their transformative gift to Stern. This Program allows first-year Veterans to start in July, where they take core classes while receiving tailored career coaching and early networking opportunities with target firms from various industries. This early start allowed me to feel confident and well prepared when the rest of my class arrived on campus for LAUNCH (Stern’s full-time MBA orientation), and consulting recruiting which kicked off a few weeks later. Reflecting on my transition, Stern is the best decision I could have made, not only because it has allowed me to achieve my career goals, but also because I know that when I graduate in May 2023, I will do so with a group of lifelong friends."
