I’m just wrapping up my application for weekends at Washington Square right now. Some of the Langone alums I work with recommended trying to test out/get out of the introductory accounting and finance courses since it’s graded on a bell curve. Another recommendation I received was to try to take the classes which are more important to you during the regular session rather than the accelerated sessions… pretty intuitive, I guess. For those in the NYC area applying to NYU part-time, did any of you also consider Columbia’s accelerated program? It’s exactly like their traditional MBA but starts in January and lasts for 18 months… by the second year the J-Term class is fully integrated with the students who matriculated the prior September. My read is that it may be a better experience and you’re out of the workforce for less time but it’s more expensive in tuition and opportunity costs.
Woudl I have to test out, even if I was a Finance & Marketing double major so I took all those core classes???

What are the job prospects after completeing a part-time at NYU? Assuming you continue in finance? w/o the college recruitment is there a nice bump in pay and position???

Looking more about it for LT versus Short Term.
The opportunity cost is higher because it’s the Columbia Accelerated MBA is a full time program… I would have to leave the workforce versus just doing weekends at NYU.
