Stern (NYU) 2013 - Calling All Applicants

[quote=suting][quote=Pashya]WL w/o interview; Got the email about 10 minutes ago.[/quote]
Thank you for sharing. I am waiting for their decision after the interview.
Hope you get better result this Thursday![/quote]


Just got the WL email as well. I'm an R2 applicant from India.

Hi Daniel,

All schools perform a background check prior to enrollment as far as I know. Typically they just confirm that you have worked where you say you've worked, that your academic records are correct (you graduated from where you say you did), and they might check in with your recommenders to confirm that they did in fact write your recommendations. It is very rare for acceptances to be taken away because of the background check, you would have to have blatantly lied on your application about something. There is a thread discussing the Kroll background check services that describes in more detail what exactly they do when performing the background check.

Good luck on your interview!

Hi Guys,

Is this the status for every1?????

Dear XXX,

Thank you for interviewing with NYU Stern. Your application is in the final stages of review by the Admissions Committee. Please allow up to three weeks from the date of your interview to receive a decision.

It is your responsibility to notify NYU Stern of any changes to your contact information. Updates must be made through this Application Status Check Website.

As far as I know, that's the generic after-interview status...

Guys, I was invited to interview this morning. I submitted on Jan 15, what a long wait... The problem is that my Visa expires and it will at least 10 days to process the paper work. Stern releases decision on April 1, so I might have problems catch up the last train. However, when I logged into the interview scheduling system, I saw the available slots is until April 17. Does that mean Stern has extended the decision date? In my position, will it make sense to fly over to NYU for the interview or try to schedule a Skype (I know this might not be allowed) with AO? Please advise!

April 1 is NOT the decision release date. It is the initial notification date -- you were invited to interview this morning (congratulations!) so you have already been notified regarding your application (invite to interview, waitlist, ding).

You can fly to NYC or try to schedule a Skype interview if they'll let you -- whatever fits better with your schedule and financial means.

Thanks aerien. Stern's admission process is like a mystery to me... I noticed on their website that they do not extend Skype option to internationals. Do we have any internationals here succeeded in convincing AO to conduct a Skype? Thanks!

I am an international applicant and they offered Skype to me (I did ask) - but I opted to interview on campus instead.

OK thank your for your answer!
Do you have an idea which days of the week are released the decisions?
All the best to all people waiting for an answer !!!

Thanks HIGNFY2013! Where are you based?

Crappy Spring break: delaying my decision.

10 weeks to the day since applying and still no word. Just a follow up for clarification. No joke about initial notification going all the way up to the deadline.

Spring break????
you mean the good friday?

Any of the off-campus interviewed candidates heard back yet? its been 10 days now..& counting.

Hi All,
Just wanted to let everyone know that I got the acceptance email about an hour ago (17:30 Paris time). I interviewed on 3/8.
I'm over the moon!
Good luck to everyone waiting.

Congrata!
