Al on January 8, 2008 at 11:33 AM NYU's reasons for excluding part timers are not valid in every case. Some part timers have jobs and sponsors and some don’t. The bursar can easily tell you who does and who doesn’t.
You could say that anyone in a technical/creative field doesn’t have the career progression that the program says it looks for. You know, engineers aren’t that bright. Lucky for me though, Stern reserves a certain percentage of their admissions slots for people who don’t fit the mold. It improves diversity, makes the classes more interesting. If I understand you correctly, anyone who comes to the program hoping that it might give them the career progression that they lack is asking too much. I paid eighty grand. I don’t feel like I’m asking too much.
Part timers pay more for their education because they pay by the credit. At the root of my bitterness are the services that I paid for and did not receive. I was denied an opportunity at the one moment in time when it would have made a difference. You only get to be a student once. You only get to be a fresh MBA grad once.
If you are in the program now, and you’re not exactly sure what I want to do with the MBA, and you’re not expecting or planning to participate in any on campus recruiting for internships or full time employment, then you’re just as screwed as I am. On campus recruiting is at least half of what you’re paying for. You’re getting ripped off, but gosh darn it, you like it that way.
