This past weekend was “Preview Weekend” — where admitted students get to join us at Stern for a few days of programming, dinners, social events, and lots of probing questions about the MBA experience. It was great fun for myself and some of my classmates to volunteer to speak to these students and help them to see what a great place Stern can be.
I ran the Entertainment, Media & Technology (EMT) table and got to meet a lot of potential future Sternies with fantastic qualifications and tons of passion for these fields. Always nice to know there’s a new wave of talent on its way. EMT department head Professor Craig was also at this event, so he was able to answer a lot of the students questions about academics first hand–which I think was really valuable for them.
Ultimately, I made my “final” decision to come to Stern during Preview weekend, so I know its a crucial weekend in the process of applying to and landing at a business school. Hopefully I made a good impression on some newbies who will be joining us this fall!
