Does anyone have any insight on the best way to reach Washington Square by train and other mass transit from the Northeast Corridor line in NJ?

I'm thinking it might be better to just drive because it looks like a lot of trains don't run on the weekend, but I'm hoping there is an easier way.


You can take the NE Corridor all the way to Penn Station, then take the A, C, or E train to Washington Square... it's maybe 3 stops down the line... very easy trip.

If you're heading in on weekends... a [very] recent Stern grad in my office said driving can actually be easier/quicker.

Lots of people waive out of firms and markets, you would also waive out of global economy. If you are scheduled to take F & M first semester (you may not depending on which core group you are in), and you waive out you can take another core class and I would if I were you. If you are going to be taking out any loans you will need 6 credits to qualify. The basic 4 core classes that you will take fall and spring semester are Leadership in Organizations, Accounting, Statistics and Firms & Markets. So just take one of the others. It's also a great opportunity to meet new people. The only reason to not wiave out is if you want to be a TA at some point in the Econ dept. You must have taken the class you are going to TA for. Hope this answers your question!

another option for people who are in the weekend option could be to drive to one of the NJ path stations (journal sq), park there, and then take the path to NYC and get off at say 9th st path station. I have never tried it personally, but it could end up being faster. I have to try it one Saturday.

It means that they have started the verification process. They will start calling your employers pretty soon. Atleast that's what happened in my case. My employer got the call on the same day. Hope this helps.

Does this mean they started the verification process? The e-mail doesn't really say much though. Any idea?!

Sure does; I e-mailed the adcom to make them aware of my group transfer within my company, as my direct supervisor is now a different person than my original recommender. This happened after i submitted my application though so when I submitted it I was still under my old manager. Hope this won't cause any issues because I told the truth in my application.

do you guys know if the admission process is rolling? applied pretty early on, but haven't heard anything back yet, so starting to get anxious. I think most notifications going out on 8/1 are going to be dings/waitlist. So, for those not accepted yet, we have 4 weeks left to find out.

I was hoping to hear something this week on Monday and Tuesday as it happened in previous weeks. I checked the Facebook page and there are around 55 people who are part of it and got accepted. No clue what adcom is doing right now. Keeping fingers crossed.

today>>> thanks for the post, very helpful

I'm not too worried yet. At an info session that I went to a couple months back, one of the adcom members mentioned that a large chunk of the decisions are made in July... so we still have plenty of time to sweat it out :wink:

Honestly, you have to factor in how much time it takes to go through each of the 900 or so applications... each 'package' (complete set of application documents) are reviewed by at least 3 separate adcom members. Even if each member only takes 2 hours to review each applicant... you're still looking at around 5,400 work hours (at the low end).

Obviously, this is just a gross generalization, based on rough guestimated numbers... but you can appreciate what an enormous undertaking the review process is, and hopefully see how it's nearly impossible to send out all notifications in only 4 weeks.

So relax, grab a beer (or four), and watch some World Cup 8-)

I stated KROLL process on Tuesday, They called HR in our company on Wendesday. Somebody from KROLL today emailed me asking for copies of my undergrad degree certificate since it was not from the US. When I look at the fax number I thought it was a spam, then I figured that person is from KROLL India based on the email signiture. Thank God they also accept scan/email.

Well you would think!!!! I was asked for the degree cert. and mark sheets even though I submitted my degree cert. and official transcripts. I even submitted a query to the guy from kroll along with scanned copies of my transcripts, mark sheets and degree cert. but never received any reply. I almost felt like i was in the dmv to get my license lol... hehehe

It worked for me, but the netid becomes available 1 week after the deposit receipt date. So if you have paid the deposit only a couple of days ago it won't work yet.

I paid my deposit this morning by e-check. I was able to get my netid and setup my NYU email right after that. Although, I had never really tried setting up my NYU email account before today.
I have a question for current students: Can you please provide a list of textbooks required for the four core courses? Thanks in advance!!!

Did anyone complete the KROLL verification yet? I started it on the 6/21; on 6/23 they asked me to confirm what my major was (strange) and nothing else afterwards. My company does not disclose the supervisor's name nor do they disclose the job title history (they only provide the current one). Not sure what else they're going to verify but I do hope it's going to be completed soon!
Any news from anyone?

This is going to vary from section to section by professor. There will be a textbook swap on the facebook page, once you get a little closer to Fall.
