NYU Stern School of Business

Experience during the program

Location-wise it's the best among all business schools. At the same time, being in NYC means you have to network and hustle a lot more on your own. But if you put in the effort, you can open up a lot of various opportunities such as doing a semester internship in a start-up or PE shop or a tech company. Recruiting for finance is pretty strong and the school is building up momentum in other industries such as consulting and tech. View on gmatclub

Experience during the program

NYU offers a great experience for those interested in moving into finance or looking to come to New York. I was interested in advancing my own skills in finance and strategy, and NYU had a variety of courses that met my needs. The professors really make the classes interesting, and NYU has a wide range of great professors (even outside of finance/IB). The student body is very diverse, and there are lots of opportunities to network with professionals in the city. The university is also in the process of expanding and improving course offerings in Luxury, Entrepreneurship, and Fin Tech. Be sure to visit if you are interested in joining! View more on gmatclub

Experience during the program

NYU Stern looks for creativity in solving both every day and unique business problems. Along with teamwork, collaboration, leadership and a spirit to learn, I would try and demonstrate creativity in your application to the school. For one of my application essays, I wrote a short story about a particular event in my life to demonstrate a creative mindset. While attending the program, I encourage you to take full advantage of career building clubs and organizations. They can help open the door to opportunities not available through career services.
