EssaySnark's Strategies for the 2011-'12 MBA Application for NYU Stern School of Business: A SnarkStrategies Guide

This version is from 2011 and is out of print as of June 24, 2013. A new version of this SnarkStrategies Guide is now available that covers the latest MBA application from NYU Stern. -------------- Here are a few great things about Stern: • Stern has exceptional resources and support for career changers through its full-time MBA • Stern has a part-time MBA program – the only one at a major bschool in the Northeast • Stern is centrally located downtown NYC, in Greenwich Village • Stern has a new building that opened in 2010 • Stern is close to multiple subway lines that run all over the city – if you're not from New York, you may not appreciate how much this matters! Stern also has put its money where its mouth is when it comes to diversity. Stern recently had a female dean (undergraduate dean Sally Blount,who's now dean at Kellogg) and currently has a black dean (Dean Peter Henry – the only black dean at any major bschool). A focus on teamwork and collaboration permeates every aspect of the Stern culture, from the classroom to the clubs. Community is even a factor in their application evaluation process. All this – plus of course a top-notch graduate business education – adds up to a distinctive school in one of the greatest cities on Earth. And, one with very competitive admissions! Stern has a similar acceptance rate to Columbia, and they both have great finance programs, but that's about where the similarities end. If you're serious about NYU, you need to take a fresh approach to their essays. EssaySnark can show you how.
