Not normally one to brag...

I posted a thread a couple months ago mentioning a few milestones that I was hoping for and what I could pick up to mark the occasion. Well the first one hit this past week and I'm beyond excited.

Starting in September, I will be attending NYU's Stern School of Business to get my MBA! I'll be doing so part-time (working full time at my current job in investment management to help pay for it), but it was my first choice and only school I applied to. Now onto the next milestone, hopefully coming in June!

Outstanding and Congrats! I completed my MBA while working full time. LOL, rarely slept...did school work at nights and on the weekends, but it went by fast and it was an awesome experience. Learned so much and improved as a person and leader.

Thanks all! I'm glad to see some of you have gotten through it as well and that it was worth it. I know it's going to take a lot of work, but I'm excited about the prospects of what I can learn and where it'll hopefully take my career.

Well done man! And you deserve to be rewarded. I'm not smart enough to get in that school. Hell, I'm not smart enough to spell NYU...

Congrats! such a fantastic program, did my undergrad at Stern and took a lot out of it. I wish you all the best, and definitely try to take Damodaran's class if you can! (I'm sure you've already heard that though )

Thanks again all!

indexmatch, I haven't heard of that professor actually. I'm glad you mentioned him, he's unbelievable! I'm definitely going to try and take one of his classes whenever I get the chance.

Congrats! It will be a LOT of work, but it will definitely be rewarding.
I did my MBA part-time evening after my full-time job. It was very very rewarding, and I really enjoyed the classes as well as the in class student interaction. I felt I learned 30-40% from my peers.

Good luck, I'm sure you'll love it..
