<p>OH and i have a question that maybe NYU-Stern students could answer:</p>

<p>Should Stern-hopefuls take business classes if their schools offer them?</p>

<p>I asked this question at the NYU info session and he said “yes”,
but I’m having a hard time fitting business classes in my senior year schedule.
Also, this summer, I’ll be attending a business education program at Rutgers University called “BizEd”. It’s a non-credit coursework program that introduces students to many key aspects in the business world (Accounting, Management, Marketing to name a few). </p>

<p>Do you think NYU would take this into consideration in the application process?</p>
