Two-year Full-time MBA student Justin Shalap (MBA ’26) in-depth Q&A interview: “2026 Best & Brightest MBA: Justin Shalap, New York University (Stern).”

— May 2, 2026

Excerpt from Poets&Quants — “I chose Stern because I wanted to remain fully immersed in New York City and craft relationships in the same ecosystem where I planned to build my career. Stern sits near Washington Square Park, and that proximity to the city’s heart shaped my experience. My recruiting wasn’t limited to Zoom screens. It meant face-to-face coffee chats, firm events after class, and spontaneous celebrations. The day I received my BCG offer, consultants, project leaders, and partners across the city pulled together an impromptu happy hour in Chelsea to celebrate. That moment was business school in NYC, exactly as I had imagined it.”
