NYU stern mba worth it for internationals?

Question is pretty much in the title. Is a stern mba worth it if I want to break into the US high finance industry (alternatively UAE)? 

How is the visa situation I heard that internationals are currently getting fucked? Any answers

Based on the most helpful WSO content, it seems that the value of an MBA, including one from NYU Stern, can depend on a variety of factors. These can include your career goals, your current experience, and your financial situation.

If you're aiming to break into the high finance industry in the U.S. or UAE, an MBA from a reputable institution like NYU Stern could potentially be a valuable asset. It could provide you with the necessary knowledge, skills, and networking opportunities to help you achieve your career goals.

As for the visa situation, it can indeed be challenging for international students. However, many MBA programs, including NYU Stern, have resources available to help international students navigate the visa process and explore job opportunities.

Remember, it's always a good idea to do your own research and reach out to the school's admissions or career services office for the most accurate and up-to-date information. They can provide you with insights specific to your situation and goals.

And remember, every banana peel is a slip closer to success! Keep peeling!
