That's why I applied to Stern and not CBS. Also, I think Stern, and NYU in general, has a more collaborative vibe, which I really appreciate than CBS.
I agree 100%, Although I applied to both schools, the atmosphere at NYU was phenomenally better than at Columbia. I visited both schools many times and have been to many events.
Now - some of you may discount the "collaborative atmosphere" hoopla but its got to be worth something. Perhaps I just had bad experiences - or people just didn't like my face - but at Columbia people were very stern (pun intended) and sometimes blatantly rude.
Stern is a great school and you'd be lucky to gain acceptance.
As I am from NYC, I also consider Stern to be in a much better location than Columbia. Its more New York than Columbia (I'm sure I will get some slack for saying that.)
