Stern 2012 - Calling All Applicants

Me three!

Hi ! I am also applying for NYU STERN Fall 2012 ! Good luck to everyone and myself ! Keep posting !

Re-app Rd 1. Good luck all.

in for R2

Interesting, Stern thread is very slow this year it seems. Is it because the app deadline is still 1.5 months away?

Hi guys,

I'm in for R1. Stern is my dream school, I am excited to start the application

I am wondering too as to why there's no activity in this thread.

I'm in for R1.

I've got every intention to apply for R1 - though its still a bit early (and still plowing through my other application).

Perhaps this thread will pick up a bit of steam in a week or two?

Great! Make sure you visit the school, contact current students to get their perspectives, and do your homework. It'll pay dividends when it comes to essays. This is true for any school, but Stern will take notice if you've taken your time to learn about the school, and know why it's special for you.

I think the traffic around here should pick up pretty soon given the Columbia ED deadline is today, I would guess many applying to Columbia are looking at NYU as well. But you're right this thread is much quieter than last years. I'm waiting for more people to join the fray.

I've visited already for an info session and tour. I love NYU and looking forward to Discover Stern in a few weeks. I'm applying R1 via Consortium and I have my core essays done as well as my NYU essay just about done, I'm just waiting until Discover Stern to add some of my experiences to it.

Wow, I am surprised at how few people are listed as applying for R1 this year, almost half of what it was last year. MBA apps must really be down.

I really think people are just working on other apps, and that is probably why this thread is moving slowly.

I received my acceptance letter today for part-time!

Congrats!
I actually visited Stern for the first time today and loved it!

The visit actually made all the difference for me. The place has a real buzz to it.

Just to let people know, one of Stern's professors was awarded the Nobel Prize in Economics this week. Everyone's pretty pleased as that's now 3 current Stern faculty with Nobel Prizes (the other two are Robert Engle and Michael Spence):

It's a very strong faculty at the moment, particularly for economics and finance. These names are probably worth dropping in your application (and/or Damodaran, Silber, Okun, some others), to show you're up to date with what's happening.

Thanks for the tips. I'll definitely be using Okun's name in my app. Simply because I attended one of his classes and it got me extremely pumped up about Stern. It was such a great experience.

Question about something that was said at a Stern admission event recently about NYU not having “application rounds” in the traditional sense.

Does that mean they review applications as they receive them, and the deadlines simply mean that if you don’t submit your application by Nov. 15th, they do not guarantee that you will hear back from them by Feb. 15th?
In other words, can I submit an application on, say, Nov. 20th and still have it reviewed before the 2nd deadline? (i.e. they simply don’t commit to notifying me before Feb. 15th)
Or, if you miss deadline 1, do they not review/ decide on any applications until deadline 2?

Any clarification much appreciated.

Thanks!
