McDonald’s May be Your Best Investment

We’ve all been to McDonald’s (some of us more than others). There’s something nostalgic about taking a bite of a Big Mac or a chicken nugget or the French fries. We all love it and some of us regret eating it the next morning (again, some of us more than others). But have you ever thought about what a great investment McDonald’s might be?

And I’m not talking about the stock. While yes, McDonald’s stock has been slightly up during the past half year in a down market, it is not the only thing that is proving to be a valuable asset to someone’s portfolio. In…

2022 Fall Ball Recap

“Fall Ball was one of the swankiest parties I’ve ever attended. Between the ambiance, drinks, photo booths, and music, it was hard to not have a great time. The venue was packed, which sometimes made it hard to find friends, but even if it took a while to find who I was looking for, I ran into so many interesting conversations and groups along the way. Can’t wait for spring fling!” – Dani Elwell 

Getting that yellowtail at TAO! Last Saturday SGOV and LSG hosted Fall Ball: Dress to the nines at TAO Downtown. 

This was a momentous event. Finally after this long pandemic, we are back to co-hosting events!…

2022 New York City Marathon Recap: Kelly Rupinski

The New York City Marathon took place on November 6th. It is a massive event that was established in 1970 and is always held on the first Sunday of November. It has only been canceled twice – in 2012 after Hurricane Sandy, when many runners traveled to Staten Island and Brooklyn to support recovery efforts, and in 2020 due to COVID. In 2021, the pandemic precautions limited the number of competitors to 33,000, but this year 50,000 racers were expected. The marathon grew from 100 spectators watching 127 competitors in 1970 to the largest marathon in the world, with around 2 million spectators lining the course and millions watching it over ESPN broadcasting and online streaming as well.…

An Oppy Guide to a Scrumptious Thanksgiving

The holidays are officially upon us! It is my favorite time of year, when the weather is changing, the temperature drops and everyone wants to get together. It is also the magical time when Mariah Carey is defrosted and we give our best shot at explaining our jobs to random relatives.

Thanksgiving is the second favorite holiday in the U.S. and it is estimated that 250 million pounds of potatoes are consumed during Thanksgiving week! I really enjoy cooking Thanksgiving dinner, which is really an intense sport. In fact, that is one of the most popular days for a run – there are over 1,500 races in America every year (“Turkey Trots”).…

Letter from the Editors: Taking Up the Baton at the Oppy

Dear Sternies,

We are so excited to ring in a new year of The Oppy! As co-Editors in Chief, our goals this year are to continue telling the stories of Stern’s incredible graduate community, from career ambitions, to unique hobbies, to opportunities for adventure in the great city of New York. Please read below for a welcome note from Phuong & Snigdha:

Phuong:

Registration and Lottery Perspective

You know about the core courses for your MBA program, and you know you will also take many elective courses.  As an indication of the richness of course offerings at Stern, can you guess how many electives we offer?  The answer is almost 200 different elective courses and almost 400 total sections of those courses!  And we introduce an average of 15 new courses per year. With core courses, so many electives, and all of our continuing students, we have instituted a sophisticated lottery and waitlist system to provide equitable access to registering for courses.  As most of you know, some of you will get the exact courses you request, but some will not.

LSG Careers Highlight

It’s no joke that getting an MBA on top of working a full-time job is hard work, but it’s also amazing to realize just how many walks of life Sternies come from before and during their time at NYU. The Oppy is excited to kick off a column highlighting the myriad of careers that Langone students have during the daytime. From financial services to healthcare nonprofit to the arts, check out these illustrious folks below!
