Excerpt from [Poets & Quants](https://poetsandquants.com/2021/09/10/apps-up-8-new-record-gmat-for-nyu-sterns-mba-class-of-2023/)-- “If you’re Stern, you’ve got to like where things are headed in the full-time MBA.

"The 'applicant-centric approach' will continue in the next admissions cycle, Rios says, noting that ‘the combination of a more seamless process for applicants and continued strong demand for our rigorous program’ led to the 8% increase in applications and the enrollment of 360 students in the Class of 2023, up from 317 last year and even surpassing the 359 who enrolled in fall 2019.’”
