I realized Stern was the home for me when I reached out to a current student to ask questions and the person went out of their way to speak to me for an hour. After the call, without me even asking, they introduced me to their friend who had a similar background as me to answer any specific questions I might have.

Leadership in Organizations with Professor Michael S. North. Every class has been incredibly engaging and a great learning experience. Professor North truly cares about his students and is someone who goes above and beyond to ensure his students receive a valuable and enriching educational experience.

Clarify your goals and how an MBA can help you achieve them. Think about what skills and knowledge you hope to gain from the program and how they will help you in your future.

The level of support and resources available to you, whether that be classmates, MBA2s (second-year MBA students), alums, staff members, and more! For example, towards the end of my first semester, as everything was piling on and I started to feel overwhelmed, a few of my classmates and MBA2s started reaching out to me to make sure I felt supported and asked if I needed any help even though they already had a lot on their plates.

I would describe the Stern community as being highly diverse, inclusive, and collaborative. Classmates are supportive, want you to succeed, and will constantly go out of their way in order to help you do so.
