Hi,

You do not need financial experience to attend Stern! We have students who come from a wide range of backgrounds (and we have lawyers too!). In fact, only a quarter of our students have a formal business undergraduate major.

Hi,

You wife is welcome to join any of the events. In fact, we have a Partners Club which gives partners an opportunity to meet each other. Ofiten spouses become an important part of the Stern commuity. They sing in the Net Present Vocals (an acapella group), attend Beer Blast every Thursday night and come to lectures.

Hi,

It is difficult for us to forecast what the admissions process will look like this year. Our first deadline is not until December 1. We use the same criteria to evaluate applicants every year.

Hi,

There are several outstanding qualities about the Stern experience:

1. The people. You have an opportunity to learn from and with a diverse student body. You meet people from all over the world. It is truly an international community of students, faculty and administrators.

2. NY. There is no better place to be a student. Whether it is the social life or professional life, NY offers you an incredible opportunity. All of the 1st year MBA students have an opportunity to go to the Metropolitan Opera and see a dress rehearsal after studying a case about the Opera house.

3. The program. You learn from top faculty and you hear from Corporate speakers regularly. Shelley just attended a session with the CFO of Pfizer. Since they work here, it makes it easy to hear from prestigious speakers and alumni. The program itself is flexible.

Hi,

The people! They are much more laid back and fun. There is a good working environment with the teams and not as competitive as other schools I looked at. Being in NYC and the village is fantastic! It is so close to the banks downtown on Wall Street (I can even go during lunch to interview) and midtown where many corporate headquarters are located. It is clearly a huge advantage.

Hila,

1. We have a wonderful marketing department. In fact, it is one of the top areas that students choose to major in. Our new Deputy Dean, Dean Winer, wrote the marketing textbook that is used in most major business schools.

Many students choose to focus their program in marketing. Last year, many students chose to concentrate their careers in marketing- corporations such as Johnson and Johnson, American Express, IBM, Microsoft etc.

Please visit our website at http://www.stern.nyu.edu for a full listing of departments and courses.

We look for strong academics, personal charachteristics and achievements and we look closely at your work history. We also want to learn about you as a person which is why we ask our Essay #3 and why we interview every candidate that is admitted.

It has not affected our admissions process- we still look for a diverse student body.

Yes. Many students choose to work a few hours a week at a company to get work experience. We also offer graduate assistantships and teaching fellowships. This is a very popular option.

Please email our student recruiters at [email protected]. They can put you in touch with other current students who are from Israel.

Scholarships are based on merit.

Good luck!

Paula and Shelley

Daniella,

You are more than welcome to email me about any confusion regarding the Part time MBA program. ([email protected])

We are looking for applicants who have a strong academic background, will become a leader in the Stern community, and who enjoy and contribute to teamwork.

We do not have those numbers yet regarding 2003. Please feel free to check our website at http://www.stern.nyu.edu for the direct link to the Office of Career Development. You will be able to review placement statistics for previous years.

Shelley says: It has been helpful to have a clear idea of what I want to do but it is not carved in stone. It will change a few times until you finish school. Be true to what you really want to do. If you are passionate about that in your application, it will shine through.

Hi Eran,

You are welcome to submit more than two recommendations. It is always helpful to have additional recommendations provide a different perspective.

Hi,

We evaluate both candidates individually. Shelley mentioned that there are at least two couples in her class. On a side note, we have fantastic housing for married students- a huge plus!

Uri, Shalom!

1. We often find that it is a great opportunity for applicants to share more information about areas of their application that may not be as strong as other areas. Some applicants also use this as an opportunity to share information about an activity or club that they are involved in.

2. We have alumni events throughout the year in Israel. We have a very strong alumni group. We invite applicants to the program to alumni events. In addition, we have a program where current students will call applciants while they are in Israel over Winter and Spring Breaks.

Hi,

I certainly think it is helpful for you to have a conversation with your recommender and prepare him/her for why you are choosing an MBA and what the school expects of their candidates. You may want to provide him with your resume as well. Shelley found this helpful when she was preparing her recommenders.

Hi M,

You can choose from any medium. It could be an essay, photo, board game etc to describe yourself. You are not limited but certainly welcome to submit an essay. We are looking to learn more about you than what is written in other areas of your application.

Shalom Daniella,

We will respond to each of your questions:

1. You can certainly write about a variety of topics. Please demonstrate how it affected you personally. There are many different ways and topics that you can choose.

2. Stern will place you into groups of 3-5 people with people from different professional, geographical, educational backgrounds. Shelley: It is one of the best things about my experience- I have met people from all over the world that I would not have met otherwise including Pakistan, China, Russia, Brazil, etc.

3. You can have recommenders submit after October 31. Please make sure they are using our full time website for the online recommendations system.

4. Many scholarships are available!!! We do not look at your financial background as part of your admissions review.

Best of luck!

Paula and Shelley

Shalom Ayelet! I am pleased to hear of your interest in Stern. The GMAT is only one factor that we review in evaluating your application. We will look very closely at your academics, your work experience, your professional background and your personal charachteristics.
