Hi guys, I need some advice. I am a Consortium R2 applicant but am currently working in Mumbai. I heard back from NYU Stern with an interview invite, but they told me that while they do send a team to Mumbai, that happens in mid March. So I have the option of either doing a phone interview to be considered for the Consortium fellowship, or I have the option to interview in person later in March, but no guarantee of being considered for the fellowship.
I am quite confused about what to do, as I feel like an in-person interview will give me a much better chance of actually getting in, but then again, I will not have a shot at the fellowship. However, NYU stern was not my first ranked school in my Consortium schools, so not sure if I would even get the Consortium fellowship if I got in there.
Any advice would be much appreciated!
