Calling All NYU Stern Fall 2011 Applicants

Last year, a bunch of dings/WLs starting came out 2nd week of Jan, and then it was pretty quiet until Feb 2/3, when another batch came out.

Thanks brainhurt! have you heard anything from NYU?

Nothing yet... after reading about the WLs I nervously opened the status update site, but no change. The waiting effing sucks.

Agreed...I did the same......dunno about other people but NYU's app site was very slow for me. I guess they are uploading a bunch of ding's and W/L's.

Just curious...are all these dings and W/Ls post interview or without an interview??

It seems that if you get WL'd at NYU it's more often w/o interview. There have been exceptions though. The dings last year were both. Interestingly, last year there were a few people dinged or invited to interview from R2 prior to some people from R1.

My speculation running wild - Guess that's why NYU has the longest waiting time (3 months) after deadline in order to select applicants from Rd 2 before rejecting applicants from Rd 1....

Would you know a rough number for % admits post interview? I can't seem to find that figure anywhere. I know Stern invites 20-25% for interview, but what's the % thereafter?

Well, it looks like the W/Ls started coming right on schedule.

Roughly 60% are admitted after interview...per businessweek.

Still waiting on an invite!

Scratch my previous post.

Just found out I'm on the waitlist. That's two waitlists and zero admits for the season so far.

sorry to hear that. where on the app site is your decision given?

wmc - was the WL post or pre interview??
Damn, getting anxious. no response yet ....

When you log in the whole page is changed. Mine was without an interview.

Anyone have any insight about Stern's waitlist process and/or if there's ever any movement off it?
