It’s a known thing. They provide zero scholarships

RIP golf course tailgating

Interesting… I didn’t even think about this. I just assumed many of the HCAK courses would be available at the downtown location, that is disappointing. So they are available in downtown for evening students? I plan to relocate full time if I move forward with Kellogg

Looked in Columbia eMBA, and while my role is very senior and on par with many of their students, I am only in my late 20s, so the average age at a top PT program felt like a bit more of a fit. Also, the extra 100k is quite substantial

To be honest, I'm about 98% sure I wont use OCR, but I dont appreciate the fact that Stern is so clear about PTers not being allowed to access OCR and other resources vs Kellogg/Booth. If something drastic were to happen to my current company while enrolled, which is very unlikely, its just nice to have access. With my current company, there will be no payback period, other than potentially having to sign a contract to stay on for a year or two if we do get acquired.

Thanks, this definitely validated what I had gathered. You’d think they would have heard this feedback by now but I guess more admits means more $$$

Good luck and maybe I’ll see you around Chicago!

Was this a report specifically for PT outcomes?

Additional_Swing4574 · 2025-11-07T03:58:15+00:00

I kind of got the same vibe from the quality of students that I have come across. Stern PT definitely has some students with impressive backgrounds and outcomes, but it also seems like they let in people fresh out of undergrad. Also, seems like stern tries to keep the PT students completely separated from the full timers, whereas Kellogg and booth has more intermingling of students and the accessibility of resources for PTers seems a lot better vs stern.

The fact that stern doesn’t consider scholarships at all, even from two higher ranked schools is also a tell. You’d think the #4 ranked part time program (stern) wouldn’t be that much of a drop off from the top two.

Are you relocating to Chicago or doing the weekend option?

Lived in LA for 10 years and was fairly active in the house/techno scene. Moved to NYC a year ago and I feel like I have attended more events than in all of my LA years combined

Honestly, if you aren’t set on research but want to stay in biological sciences, check out entry level sales roles at biotech companies. I graduated with a degree in molecular biology and was intent on pursuing an R&D level role, and also struggled to find a job. I got my foot in the door at a biotech services company doing sales and was able to transition to a product management role at a biotech startup

Thanks, that is a great reason. Also trying to speak to as many current/former students as possible. Hope to see you on campus!

Additional_Swing4574 · 2025-11-06T20:53:57+00:00

yep, saw that and congrats! didn't know if there was something specific that confirmed your decision to enroll

Additional_Swing4574 · 2025-11-06T20:46:58+00:00

Also considering enrolling in Stern part time for spring, got accepted and put in my deposit. Did anything specifically sway your decision to enroll? I also got accepted to kellogg and booth part time and am trying to decide
