Isser Gallogly, the school’s associate dean of MBA admissions and program innovation, says there are new sophisticated detection methods that schools can use to spot fraud in an application. 'The bottom line is: the letter must be written entirely by the endorser,' he says. 'It simply isn’t worth taking the risk of writing your own.'"

Excerpt from mbaMission -- "The W.R. Berkley Innovation Labs serve as the hub of all entrepreneurial activities and events at the school, and in 2008, Stern introduced a Sustainable Business and Innovation (formerly Social Innovation and Impact) specialization, thereby formalizing an academic track for students with this career path in mind. And for those who also have the entrepreneurial bug, Stern added a Social Venture Competition—in which participants compete for a $75K prize—to its traditional for-profit $300K Entrepreneurs Challenge."

You are encouraged to think about where various industries and sectors will be in the future, what are the trends that we can see emerging, and to see society and business from a birds-eye view."

Excerpt from Poets & Quants -- "As I go into my final semester here at NYU, I have to say that I agree with all the advice and reflections made by these recent graduates. However, I would like to add one piece of advice: do not rush. That may seem very vague, but as my time at Stern comes to an end, I realize there are so many opportunities I said no to or didn’t explore because I thought it was a 'waste of time.' Make the most of the four years you have and don’t feel pressure from your peers or family to do something that won’t make you happy in the long-run."

Whatever your career aspirations, technology and exposure to technology are central to everyone’s success."

Excerpt from Poets & Quants -- "The first is a sustainability impact consulting course set in New York and Costa Rica. Classes will meet in the fall then spend a week in Costa Rica at the beginning of January working on such potential student projects as business and marketing plans for agricultural production, ecotourism, and environmental education for youth. Other new courses on Stern’s roster are Economics of Innovation — studying the behavior of inventors, artists, and writers to figure out what makes people creative, what encourages firms to take risks, and what types of institutions encourage people to do their best work. The other is Deal Making in the Entertainment Industry which uses film and television content as the primary example for what goes into cutting a deal in the entertainment world."
 

Excerpt from Poets & Quants -- "MBA graduates themselves inspired their peers to return to campus. NYU Stern’s Schnurman, for example, reviewed the Linkedin profiles of senior leaders in global organizations she admired and noticed a trend: they all had MBAs. ...

Excerpt from The New York Times -- "One of the main projects I worked on was to evaluate how we market Cooking advertisements to our clients. I had to understand how Cooking was being talked about on the consumer side and the business side. This project gave me the flexibility to explore the narrative around a media product, like Cooking, and how it differs depending on the target stakeholder. I was able to talk to several employees on the product, marketing, branding, tech and advertising side of Cooking — it was like a small start-up within The Times."
