Excerpt from Poets & Quants -- "According to Gallogly, the EQ endorsement has indeed been 'adding a whole new vantage point through which we can assess the applicant. We felt like there was a gap in the kind of information that could be gathered about an applicant,' Gallogly says today (January 12) in an email exchange with Poets&Quants. 'The EQ endorsement is really a character reference from someone who believes in the applicant’s EQ. It’s an additional dimension that a professional recommendation doesn’t provide by its nature. We’ve received EQ endorsements from mentors, lifelong friends, some from the professional arena — they provide an emotional resonance.'"

That’s up from 10 percent last year, which is a significant increase that we are thrilled to see. Amazon is now our very top employer, and IBM and Google tied for sixth. I think it’s also changed some of the curriculum here at Stern. We have added a Fintech MBA specialization, which employers are well aware of. It really helps us position our students, because they have such a terrific opportunity to learn here at Stern about business and how tech is impacting where the growth opportunities might be."

The programme will use a 12-month format, rather than the more common two-year model with a summer internship.
