I reached out to admissions and they had to fix an issue on their end. All set now.

Also, anyone have any idea if there are admit student events before Stern Preview in April? Hoping to connect with Stern/potential classmates some more before I have to make a decision on my R1 schools.

Hi folks, I know my status does not belong to this topic now. But I am just very curious about whether all the Stern R1 admissions are from those who interviewed in December'15 or earlier? Also, is there anyone who interviewed in Dec but got dinged yet?

BTW, I am a R1 too and interviewed in the 1st week of January'16. I really hope to get some positive news in the future 1-2 weeks. But statistically for the 75% acceptance rate from interviewees, I start feeling nervous now.

Hi folks, I asked a question yesterday and today I am in... Just got the email update this morning.
I think I am going to matriculate this fall because NYU Stern is my only one school.

Instructions and a link should be included in your admit letter that comes up when you log in to the general application portal/website/whatever you want to call it.

Congrats on the acceptance!

Hi Guys,
I got accepted on Feb 6. Does NYU Stern send out admission packets to the accepted candidates? If yes, how much time does it take?

No. You can start with the process in the To do list tab on the admitted students website.

Is anyone else having problems logging into the admitted students website? I know the password is the student number and I am using my name (the one they had addressed the letter to) and I can't logon...it just takes me right back to the main page.

Anyone else having this issue?

It might just be that you got admitted today so your access might not have been activated yet. Wait till Monday-Tuesday and then send out an email to the admissions.

Did anybody get the all clear from the background check? I submitted mine 7 weeks ago and I still haven't heard back from either NYU or Re Vera.

Why New York University Fell in the Best Business Schools Rankings - (I am a current student) - Message from our Dean -

Why Stern’s Ranking Fell to 20, and Why You Shouldn’t Take it at Face Value
— March 16, 2016
US News and World Report published its rankings of full-time MBA programs today, and Stern dropped from 11 last year to 20 this year, we know why, and here’s why you shouldn’t accept it at face value.

US News shared the rankings with us last week. We were surprised, looked at the data, and found that Stern’s scores were higher than a number of other schools with higher ranks (see here for example.) So we challenged their ranking of Stern.

US News told us that Stern's drop was largely attributable to a single missing data point – one missing answer (concerning how many students submitted GMAT scores) out of over 300 questions. In its absence, US News had substituted an “estimated” number (we do not know how this estimate was derived.)

We promptly provided the correct information, but US News declined to adjust the rankings.

The failure to submit the data is ours; that said, it was wholly unintentional, it’s a question we’ve always answered in the past, US News never flagged the missing information, and the missing data was virtually identical to last year’s. Going forward, we will further tighten the procedures for data submissions so such lapses do not recur.

I thought it important to write you because it is not right to let this ranking stand without comment given that we know it is based on faulty information that we sought to correct before US News released its rankings publicly.

In addition, for both prospective students and current members of our community, I would ask you to bear in mind: in the real world Stern’s outstanding quality is no different this week than it was last week.

Sincerely,
Peter Henry
Dean, NYU Leonard N. Stern School of Business
