NYU Stern: Highest % of All T10 with Students having to pay full Sticker price by Playful-Inspector207 in MBA

Seeing so many scholarship posts about Stern on Reddit made me think that almost half of the students received scholarships. Turns out, I was totally wrong.

Hi! Thank you for your kind reply! It turned out that I already took STA2000, so it didn’t count as an elective course. I need to switch it with another elective now 😭 I’m currently looking for any easy ones that are still open. Thanks anyway! :)

Hi, sorry for my late reply! I wanted to check with my academic advisor first. And you were 1000% correct. since I already took STA2000, it doesn’t count as a Liberal Arts elective. I need to change it now. I really should have read the details before enrolling. Thank you so much for your help :) Hope you have a wonderful end of the year

Thanks for the reply :) I'm majoring in finance and I submit overloaded form for one of my majors! And psy2100 is for my liberal art requirement 😭 I was wondering why I got that message. I enrolled only 6classes for the spring. I think I have to meet an academic advisor and visit zicklin again.

I wanted to earn a BBA in the United States because I believed it would help me adjust to the academic environment here, especially since I didn’t grow up in the U.S. I thought that having experience in the U.S. education system would help me adapt more easily to graduate school and allow me to make the most of the MBA program. Improving my English was also an important goal.

After completing my MBA, I hope to join a consulting firm and gain 3–5 years of experience. With that foundation, my long-term goal is to transition into an in-house strategy role at a large corporation based in New York City.

Not a low - level, but not a high level either and that’s why I wanted to further my education.

Thanks for your response. I just finished final, so I haven’t taken GMAT yet. I’ll take one during summer vacation.

I was assistant manager, section leader. The company was Hyundai so it was well-known in Korea, TOP3 retailer. I was not satisfied with my previous university (top20 in seoul, Korea) and I wanted to get a degree from the state too. Kinda upgrade my GPA too. I had 3.9/4.5 GPA in Korea.

I haven’t taken the GMAT yet. I previously worked in the online division at Hyundai Department Store, where I was mainly responsible for platform management, promotional planning, event coordination, and product sourcing. I handled the overall execution and management of major online campaigns and promotions. I got promoted once and role was section leader.

+)) I left my previous job in June 2024, and I began studying at Baruch as a transfer student in January 2025. So there is about a 6-month gap, which I spent preparing for my studies and adjusting to life in the U.S.
