I'm a student at NYU Stern. The school can be perceived as cutthroat and competitive, but I've found a supportive community.

• I hesitated to enroll in NYU Stern because of its reputation for being cutthroat and competitive.
• When I got to the school, I found a difficult environment that inspired me to push myself.
• Most surprisingly, my fellow students are supportive and collaborative.

Choosing New York University's Stern School of Business as my new home was not a decision I took lightly.

There are many reasons I and many others chose to apply to Stern — the first of which is its reputation in the business world.
