Location in heart of NYC and a strong finance program with significant alumni presence in the industry were two major reasons I chose this program. Getting a full-tuition scholarship made the decision easier.
Course Curriculum
The courses offered right mix of theoretical knowledge along with practical exposure. I was especially impressed by the breadth and diversity of elective courses (200+)
Exams
My scores: GMAT: 760, GPA:3.7. I took the GMAT test to apply for the school. TOEFL: 118.
Placement
All major consulting and finance companies recruited on campus and there was a career development cell that was really helpful in navigating the recruitment process.
Internship
I interned with a family office as an equity research analyst. The name of the company is Caveat Emptor Capital Management with $1.6 Bn in AUM.
Fees
$75,000/ year.
Scholarship
I received Aswath Damodaran Faculty Scholarship for excellence in Finance. It is a full- tuition scholarship for two years ( $70k/ year).
Faculty
Professors and faculty overall are very high quality and are leading in their fields. They are always willing to help and available to answer questions outside class hours.
Campus Life
The facilities overall were okay. Being in NYC area, we didn’t really have much of a campus except 2-3 buildings. There were plenty of student- led events and opportunities to connect with people from other programs.
Hostel
I found off-campus housing in Brooklyn. It would be wise to budget at least $2k/ month in living expenses because NYC is expensive!
