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."

Wharton Professor Daniel A. Levinthal joins NYU Stern Professor Christina Fang for a virtual fireside chat, hosted the the Strategic Management Initiative at the Center for the Future of Management, to share insights and answer questions from his new book, "Evolutionary Processes and Organizational Adaptation: A Mendelian Perspective on Strategic Management." In this book, Professor Levinthal describes how executives can strategically position their organizations for uncertain future competitive environments, not with a “crystal ball” but by orchestrating a diverse set of initiatives within their organizations. 
 

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."
