Having gone to Stern instead of the inaugural year at GBA, and seeing Stern consistently ranked in the top 10-15, it would be a great goal to have. We've come a long way since 1969, but we still have eons to go to match Stern I'm afraid. And no, I don't have $50 million to name it "Txram Graduate School of Business at Lincoln Center".
Oh yea, no question. If Stern is sky, we are ground. Huge disparity. But some positives that we can take away is that our part time program is nationally regarded/consistently ranked in the top 15 by U.S. News and we are a top 15-20 ranked Finance program, probably both products of being in NYC. Our avg GMAT is 600 vs NYU's 690-700 (I'd assume), and rankings are usually products of selectivity and reputation. If we can get a huge donation from one of the billionaire alums, get a name of on the school instead of being called GBA, and continually invest in it, we can compete with a program like Stern 10-15 years down the road, but of course those are all big IF's.
