Dinged today. Bah.

Sorry to hear that. Can you please share your profile.

I got an interview invite late yesterday. Applied 1/15..

F / international / 5 years WE PE / liberal arts

I also have a question... Can anyone (particularly current students) comment on how emails in support of a candidate from current students/alumni are received by AdCom? I saw the following from a Q&A published in BusinessWeek, but it was back in 2005, so I'm not sure how these emails are perceived now. Thanks!


Q: Does it help if an alumnus writes a recommendation?
A: We love recommendations from alumni. We [also] welcome...casual e-mails in support of applicants from our alumni and current students.

Thanks, appreciate your input. When you said there is a drop box, you mean one for current students to write a note to vouch for a candidate?

To answer your question, yes I am an international currently working in the US.

Thanks again!!

Yes: a current student can write a note and put it on the drop-box to vouch for a current applicant. Mind you, I dont know if there was a time limit for submitting such a supporting note as I dont know how frequently they check the box. Once again, prob worth calling the office and checking with them. You dont have to give your name in case your worried about annoying them with questions and the last 2-3 times I have called over the past few months, they havent asked.



mrdoodle, I asked the same question earlier today and it appears that interviews are still being sent out. I think it cant be a good thing to not have heard back as yet (I applied 1/15 and havent heard either) but misstango got an invite yesterday and some others as well on the NYU BW forum spoke of having been invited earlier this week. I called the office a few days ago and they continue to say that they will be sending out invites until the April 1 initial notification date.

What I would like to know is how often they ding people during a round and whether they make most of the dings on April 1. If they are dinging people regularly as they go along, then no news is still good news for those who havent heard back yet. With time, it looks grimmer and grimmer but I still have hope.

I do

Ding today.

Very sorry to hear that, man. You've got some good admits already and still waiting on a couple of schools? I hope you end up somewhere that will make you very happy.

For everyone else out there, if it gives you hope, I received an interview invitation this morning. Please check my admit/ding thread post for my profile, if you are curious, and search my previous posts on this thread for my submission date/time. Good luck all!

I was wondering if they gave you a date that you had to complete the interview by?

Thanks! I heart that you continue to refer to me by my avatar despite knowing my actual name, haha.



No complete date. They only ask that we confirm our interest by scheduling an interview within two weeks of receiving the invitation. Looking at the interview dates and times, there's availability at Stern through the end of April.



Got my fingers crossed for you too. We've each had a rough app season. Hope you get your invite at Stern!
