I call BS, you actually have a friend attending Rotman’s who you’ve already convinced to join you and your other buddy at U of M. NYU fans will be burning your VBA code in the streets when you leave and you’ll also get a spiteful letter from the Dean. Bottom line though, you have a good chance of winning the NCAA championship if you can beat those guys from UCLA.

It sounds like CSK is not going. Too much indecision. Personally I think Stern blew its chance to positioning itself as a top-tier business school with that part time program, but it’s not a bad option if you have a nice job/company/career track now and don’t want to move.

Stern is top-tier in finance only, and that’s a stretch. Nonetheless for a lot of people it can help with pedigree.
Go to U of P instead. Better value for money.

It is the only part-time MBA in NYC that is decent. If Columbia would offer part-time i would apply there too
Will Jim Grey be interviewing you?
Deadline is approaching… what should i do?
dude, you’re relying on a bunch of anonymous posters to make an important decision for you? You applied for a reason, what was it? Do you still feel the same way you do when you decided to apply? When you thought of applying, there were some benefits you had in mind that you thought would help you with your career. Have those benefits/opportunities significantly changed over the last few months? If not, then why are you still thinking about it?

Because it is an option, and you never exercise an option early

All I’m saying is its your time and money (or maybe fully subsidized) that will be invested, so even if you get 20 anonymous responses, we still will not make the decision for you. Explore the curriculum, the networking abilities, and even some extracurriculars (if possible) and see whether this is something you would like to do for the next 3 years. Think about whether work will suffer because of it, or if doing this program will have you consider other fields. If so, then I’d say think some more about it as you may really want a full-time program. But, if you’re set on IT mgmt and believe MBA is a rarity in this field and will help you career, why are you still thinking?

It is FT, though. I’d say go for it. I think an MBA can be very helpful in IT mgmt.

Trrrruuuuueeeeeeeeeee.
How much does it cost? I’d say go, considering it myself. If you are already making a decent amount over $100k and have a path continually increasing that comp doing a full time MBA starts to make a lot less sense. Part-time all the way.
Thanks everyone for the input. I’ve decided to go and submitted my deposit and now waiting on Kroll verification which make me nervous as i might have made +/- 2k when reporting my last year bonus - I am not sure about the exact amount as i tried to dig up my bonus figures from taxes/payroll and didn’t find any reliable information as to the exact pretax #. Unfortunately my bonus was announced to me verbally and i don’t have any papers except increase in my paycheck for that one period. Hopefully that won’t be a show stopper

congrats. I wouldn’t worry about the Kroll.
Congrats! I have a friend in the PT NYU MBA program right now…but, classes already started…how can you start so late CSK?
