@brainhurt : Were you able to visit Stern for the info session ? Anything interesting come up ?
I did attend the info session yesterday. Unfortunately it was a graduate ambassador (recent grad) giving the tour, and not an adcom member, so I didn't feel like I got a lot of info I couldn't found on the website. However, the experience did reaffirm the good fit I felt with Stern. Having gone to the CBS info session the night before, Stern really does feel more down-to-earth than CBS. Also, Stern seems much less pessimistic about the job market for career changers in 3 years when current applicants would be graduating. At CBS they were very gloomy about the prospects for career changes, esp within finance. My feeling is that in 3 years the job market will likely be very different than it is today, and this was Stern's position as well.
I did ask specifically about the MBA/MS dual degree but he didn't know anything about the admissions process for the MS side, so I got no new info there.
