Hi,
I wish to apply to Tepper in their Technology Leadership specialization.
Can someone tell me what does Tepper look for in a candidate.
What would deem a candidate as a "fit" for Tepper?

Same question for NYU Stern for their Management of Technology and Operations specialization.

Thank you!

Since its Tepper, definitely good analytical capabilities. It should reflect somewhere in GPA, extra certficate, Work Ex etc.

This track of tepper is totally in lines of preparing professionals who will lead technological innovations. So you must have a background in technology.

Well, the thing is to be more than just a "Techie". There are like a billion tech candidates out there, and only some are gonna make it to the top. Things that help: side entrepreneurial projects, leadership at work, someone who takes a LOT of initiative, getting promoted faster and more often than your peers, getting the best evaluations from your boss. Hopefully you have at least some of these, if not ALL.

NYU Stern has a reputation of looking for profiles with

General
1. Good amount/quality of work experience
2. If you are interested in NGO/non profits or showcase your desire for that...
3. If you are very specific about finance and trading and want to work in NY
4. Pride and self-made characteristics is one thing which many consultants would agree is something as a stern-attraction

Specific
Be very specific, almost forceful(passion), to make people realise that you are interested in this particular course and nothing else...the steps would be to source a thought that you are interested in Tech/ops and then in this very course.

Even in interviews they will ask you that how would you pick your college...the emphatic answer should be the passion for technology intermingled with Sterns grand presence in NY

If you have more to ask about how to highlight more for Stern or Tepper, drop us a line.

In addition to what the others have said emphasize your fit with a small school for Tepper and NYC for Stern.

But part of fit is aligning your background, experiences, goals, interests and so forth with the academics, research, programs, clubs of each school. So, stating how you fit with Tepper or Stern is difficult without knowing the different aspects of your profile.

Best of luck,

A small suggestion about how to show fit( since everybody told you about what is fit)

1. Be a person who appreciates things to come...personable
2. clarity of thought...articulation in fewer words...
3. Be a person who knows the school...so do immense deep analysis and choose your favourite
4. choose your recommender well

Personal fit check
approach of learning : case study, hands on,
environment : super competitive or collaborative
culture : international, may be tilted towards a particular trade
specialisation: as in ur case technology,ops

regards

"Target Test Prep is the closest to the official version of the GMAT exam, about 99% accuracy in terms of the quality and quantity of information. The course has excellently created singular sets of focused lessons and tests for every possible topic that one could come across in the official GMAT exam."

"The TTP course maximizes the efficiency of the time you spend studying. It will take time and effort but I could almost guarantee that if you complete the course exactly as it is laid out you will get an amazing score. They also have a very responsive team willing to help with any questions you might have."

"TTP has two things that I think no other test prep company offers: A teaching approach that reinforces understanding and an attitude that will give you the mental preparedness needed to succeed on the test. TTP gives you a deep understanding of the concept you need to know while teaching you how to think."
