NYU Stern Assistant Dean of MBA Admissions: Isser Gallogly (IG)


CA: What is the one area of your program that you wish applicants knew more
about?

IG: There are two big misconceptions. The first is that Stern is a
finance-only institution. The second is that the community may not be
collaborative. Both of these ideas are incorrect.Of course, we are close to
Wall Street and we do have a strong finance program, and people certainly
come here to pursue careers in the financial sector. But we also have a
phenomenal marketing program. We launched a new specialization this year in
digital marketing for students who are interested in tapping into the
opportunities at the intersection of technology and marketing, for example.
Within marketing we also have a great entertainment and media focus, and we
have expertise in the area of luxury and retail as well. One of our newer
academic specializations is luxury marketing. On the marketing front, not
only will you get to work with CPGs – Colgate, Kraft, Unilever, etc. – but
we also have a lot of marketing opportunities with luxury/retail, financial
services and pharmaceuticals. At Stern, marketing is much broader in its
range of industries.

And yet people don't know as much about a lot of these things at Stern. We
also have a wonderful program in entrepreneurship and social innovation.
Really, the list goes on and on. I think if people looked a little deeper,
they would see we are very strong across the board.

The second thing that people think when they think of New York – for right
or wrong – is that it can be a very aggressive culture. I think the
surprise that people get when they experience Stern is that the culture is
very collaborative, very diverse and very team based. We have one of the
highest percentages of women; we have people from all over the globe; and we
have people who bring experience from a range of industries, from investment
banking to entertainment to marketing. But as different as they all are,
what these people all have in common is that they respect one another and
work together. And we aim to shape our community with people who possess
what we call IQ + EQ—the combination of strong intellectual and
interpersonal strengths.

So, to reiterate, we are much more than finance, and the culture here is
incredibly collaborative.

Stay tuned for more interview excerpts from the admissions directors of other
top MBA programs!

Best,
Kevin
