Accepted.com recently interviewed NYU Stern School of Business MBA student Lenore on her process on deciding to attend Stern. This is part of Accepted.com’s blog series featuring interviews with current MBA students, offering readers a behind-the-scenes look at top MBA programs.
Here’s an excerpt from the interview:
“Accepted: What made you decide to pursue an MBA?
Lenore: Even though I went back and forth on how I would use it, I was always sure I would pursue an MBA. I love solving business problems, and believe that business plays an integral role, potentially a hugely positive one, in our communities and society.
My MBA application journey was an opportunity to identify patterns and common successes in the pieces of my professional background. Specifically, I started to recognize that the moments I was most proud of were those when I partnered with leaders to help shape their work and achieve success in their organizations. Through the admissions process and my own self-discovery, I recognized that working as a business and executive coach would allow me to combine each of the things I was passionate about.
Accepted: Which other schools did you apply to? Why did you choose NYU Stern?
Lenore: I ultimately applied to only two schools: NYU Stern and Georgetown, and was accepted to both. As I mentioned, I was interested in NYU even during undergrad, as the program offered an ideal match for my values and goals. NYU Stern provides an “education in possible,” and encourages broad and disruptive thinking. That is just the type of approach I planned to take with my degree and in my work.”
