Excerpt from Admit.me -- "I think the best way for candidates to learn about any school is to try and visit the campus as much as possible. Granted, we understand that candidates coming from all over the world and so that may not always be the easiest thing to do, so there are other ways that you can engage. You could take advantage of the videos on our website. You can take advantage of the webinars that we host. It could be that you're connecting with the current students or even the alumni that live in the region that you are currently in."

Excerpt from Admit.me -- "Stern is a school on the move and has always been an early adopter. We were among the first programs to accept the GRE as a second choice to the GMAT, and now we are excited to also accept the EA. As one of three standardized test options available to students, the EA provides a valid predictor of graduate school academic readiness. It's been created specifically to measure the skills and knowledge of professionals. It is also designed to require modest preparation and is shorter in length at 90 minutes."

Excerpt from HuffPost -- "Instagram has become one of the major vehicles for spreading disinformation, according to a new report from the NYU Stern Center for Business and Human Rights, which points to a 'lack of clear strategy for addressing the serious problems inherent in Instagram’s operating model.'

Excerpt from Forbes -- "For Chain Vayakornvichit, a product marketer from Thailand, it requires a special kind of person – 'focused but open' – to take a leap of faith, invest in themselves, and return to school. “At the same time, they have to wrestle with the uncertainty of where this path will take them,” the New York University MBA candidate adds. 'These two factors are why I think the classmates I have met come in with a particular story, a particular idea of where they want to be at the end of the line, but they remain open to possibilities.'"

Excerpt from The Hill -- "Michael Posner, the director of NYU’s Stern Center, said in a statement that 'taking steps to combat disinformation isn’t just the right thing to do, it’s in the social media companies’ best interests as well.' ...

Excerpt from Poets & Quants -- "Having worked in a smaller and more nascent start-up ecosystem in Bangkok, I often did not have the benefit of learning from the experiences of peers who have simply had the opportunity to do it before.

Stern offers exactly that through experiential learning courses like Tech and the City, but also access to a network of entrepreneurs in the city area."

We’ve also introduced more flexibility and choice in our admissions process. Beginning with the current 2019-2020 admissions cycle, we’re excited to announce we will now be accepting GMAC’s Executive Assessment as one of three standardized test options."

I’m extremely honoured to have played a modest part in this deal, which demonstrates in very real terms the growing realization at graduate schools, and indeed, in society as a whole, that investing can align financial and social returns."

Given our NYC location and deep connections to a diverse set of industries, students benefit from multiple high-touch engagements with our alumni that result in strong internship outcomes.'"
