Stern (NYU) 2013 - Calling All Applicants

Is this turnaround time a joke? First notification by April for round 2?

Posted from my mobile device

Admitted! R1 applicant from Europe here.

My path to Stern:
1) Submitted Nov 15
2) Invited to Interview Dec 22
3) Interviewed Feb 6 (I went to NY flying from Europe the day before - felt a bit tired)
4) Admitted Feb 12

hey when did you submit?

It doesn't seem like they really adhere to those deadlines. Based on other people's timelines and my own, NYU looks to function on a semi-rolling basis. If you are invited to interview, you will likely hear way before that.

I submitted on January 15.
10 mins or so before the deadline.

Just had my interview today! I'm a R2 applicant, and got my app in early January. Here's what I remember being asked in terms of some of the questions:

1) What are some of your strengths, and how are they applicable for your intended career?
2) What will you highlight to convince your intended companies to hire you?
3) Why do you think Stern is a good fit for you?
4) I noticed XYZ about your professional background. Could you tell me what you like about that experience?
5) Why do you want to make your career transition?
6) Do you see yourself getting involved in Stern clubs in a leadership role? Which ones?
7) When you're not leading a group, what role do you play in the group?
8) If you had to study one international market for marketing, what would it be?
9) What other companies are you interested in working in besides the ones mentioned in your application?
10) Do you have any questions for me?

Also just wanted to note that I thought the admissions staff was extremely friendly and that my interviewer had done her homework on my application. They mine your essays for inspiration and questions during the interview!

Congrats on the invite!

That's quite alot of Unusual questions there!!

Honestly they just felt like variations on other questions I've seen people report on. Questions like 'How would you get involved at Stern?' and 'How would you sell yourself to a recruiter?'

To prepare I looked on the interview log of https://www.clearadmit.com - I highly recommend going through that site!

Just received my admissions package in the mail, and I was awarded the Faculty Scholarship, which covers full tuition!!

Even if I am admitted off of the Wharton waitlist, I don't think there's any way I could turn down this offer. Thoughts??

Whoa! I'm jealous! Great work. I'd agree with you on that. But everyone's financial situation is different.

Congrats !

Wow congrats Aspiringtrader!

I don't know if you have your heart set on one school or the other, but as reporters like to say: Follow the Money!

Congratulations! That's an amazing honor.

R1 applicant finally got dinged today. At least I've had interviews at two schools and live applications at three more schools so all is far from lost...

Sorry to hear that jxcho. Like you said, you've got a lot of great schools left as options, so nothing to be overly upset about. Best of luck!

Congratulations! I am waiting for mine, I hope I get something.
