Hi MBAglitch and welcome!

Congratulations on your scholarship. Part-time scholarships are rare and executive programs scholarships are even more rare.

I would generally argue that your Rahman offer is very attractive and it would be hard to beat.

When evaluating part-time or executive programs, the primary way that they would assist you in recruiting would be through your fellow students and their networks.

This means you are recruiting on your own and networking. If you think that the NYU executive program can connect you with folks who have strong ties to the Middle East, it could be worth dropping extra $100,000 on that.

I’m also thinking you probably have built up a network during your career that may assist you in getting a job in the Middle East. So I would generally think that may not be worth the travel and extra expense.

PS. Stern EMBA is only 60 students. That’s a pretty small class. Bigger would’ve been better since that is going to be a primary network.

@bb really appreciate you taking the time. Your point about leaning on my own network rather than spending more for a smaller EMBA cohort really resonated with me, especially since the cohort isn’t particularly tied to the Middle East either.

I’ve leaned toward Rotman for now, the overall value and fit feel right. That said, I’ve still been wondering how much Stern’s brand might matter in the Middle East, since brand is a big part of why I’m doing the MBA in the first place.

Thanks again, your input truly helped me get clearer on things.

Hi, I have recently given my GMAT and got 615. I am planning to re-attempt since the scores aren’t up to the mark. Should I send my scores to selected schools now? Will I be able to send it again to the same schools after 1 month?

Hey, I also don't see a space to submit the Spike Factor essay for Full-time MBA 2026 intake. I also notice that it isn't mentioned on Rotman's Admissions page anymore. Have they removed this component from the application?
