What do you like best about Stern?
There is something for everyone at Stern. Whether that's clubs, electives, events, networking opportunities, etc. It's easy to find a sense of community at Stern.
Why did you choose to attend Stern?
When I was in 8th grade I went on a class field trip to Washington D.C. and New York. That was the first time I had ever been to NYC, and I fell in love. I knew I wanted to attend NYU in the future. I found an interest in business during undergrad, so Stern became the obvious choice of business schools for pursing an MBA. I chose Stern not only for its reputations, diversity, and opportunities offered to its students, but also specifically for the MSQM program. I knew an MBA was my ultimate academic goal, but I wanted to have a stronger quantitative background. The fact that the MSQM provided this, along with the opportunity to continue on to earn an MBA (something other comparable schools do not offer), made my decision easy -- it had to be Stern.

What do you like best about Stern?
I like Stern because it brings ambitious minds together from different backgrounds who want to upgrade themselves. Stern allows you to pave your own path and establish the type of experience you want to have with its various unique program offerings. Stern provides a safe space to test the waters with your pursuits by teaching and equipping you for future success.
Why did you choose to attend Stern?
I chose Stern because it gave me the flexibility I needed in my life while still providing me with the opportunity to pursue my goals. Working in NYC at the time of my decision to go to grad school, I wanted to approach this journey by challenging myself. Thus, choosing Stern was a no-brainer.
