Excerpt from Poets & Quants -- "The combination of the Fertitta Veterans Program, living in New York City, and the school’s track record in investment banking recruiting led me to choose Stern. As I was transitioning out of the Marine Corps, I was looking for MBA programs with strong veteran clubs. I felt that a strong veteran community would help ensure a smooth transition back to school and facilitate a strong network for future endeavors. Stern has one of the highest military contingents of any MBA program, largely due to the creation of the Fertitta Veterans Program in 2016.
