Excerpt from Fortune -- "In a typical case study exercise, students in business school classes are given a brief to read ahead of time along with questions about how they might handle the particular business challenge at hand. But this may not actually be a 'fair test' because students are only reading about the scenario, notes Nathan Pettit, founding director of the NYU Stern Leadership Accelerator, tells Fortune.

"'And frankly, what the student says they would do probably doesn’t approximate what they would actually do if they were faced with that real scenario,' Pettit adds. 'The live case model is one-of-a-kind pedagogical outgrowth of this vision around accelerating experience and having students learn through difficult scenarios.'"

Excerpt from MBA Chic — "I had a professor who was the CEO of Buzzfeed. I had a professor who’s now the Chief Strategy Officer at HBO. So I think that type of access, it’s not only the alumni network, but to be in a classroom for a few hours each week with someone who’s dealing with these problems every single day and probably like right before class, during class and after class… I just thought that was so invaluable."

Excerpt from Clear Admit -- "During the early stages of business school planning, I received advice to take note of the people (i.e., current students and alums) you meet from each school. Their personalities will reflect the school’s ethos, and I 100% believe that for Stern. Every person I talked to was warm and social, and even though it’s in the heart of New York City, Stern fosters a personable, collegiate environment. IQ and EQ are real!"
