Curious about timeline - I know the deadline is late April to submit an application but would love to know what deadlines I should set for myself for the essay, recommendations and giving the GMAT. Would love any insight!

I would plan to have at least one GMAT test done by the end of January so you know where you stand.

Be sure to give your recommenders ~6 weeks notice - provide them with details.

Take time NOW to think about your goals, passions, interests and the impact you hope to make in the future. Create a strategy that includes short and long-term post-MBA goals, areas for development and your 'story' BEFORE you start writing.

Ah. I’ve been slacking off on the GMAT and would rn able to give it by early March earliest. I’m confident I can get a 720ish by then. Any advice in that case about how I should manage things?

Also was curious - do you think I need to hire a consultant?

At what point does the value of a degree fall off? I'm in my early 30s, and have five years of experience, and work on a very theoretically interesting project.

Is this FOMO or is there real opportunity here?

Hi all! I’m applying to NYU tax llm and I’m pretty confident I can get in,but it’s unlikely I’ll receive a scholarship. I’m working at a non big4 consulting firm for about 1.5yrs now, doing mainly international with some M&A exposure. I want to do llm because I still want to shoot for biglaw. I have a small kid so it’ll be hard to do the program part time. Should I quit my current job and enroll full time? Meaning lose 1yr salary and taking on a job security risk. TIA!

Enrolled in Stern for a few weeks.
The number of the alumni and current students that go to top consulting firms FT& summer intern are countless even for a small class size.
Stern is way more than a finance school. Given its location, do you want to spend your 2 years in a rural area or heart of Manhattan? Location is almost everything for business school. (I have a friend in Cornell that frequently travels about 5 hours to NYC for events.)

They are all technical. All of them could easily be very technical cloud consultants or cloud engineers.
