Calling all NYU Fall 2010 applicants

Hey MMtrader,

Thanks! I was waitlisted w/o interview last year. However, these are the things that helped me in getting in this time-
1. Last year I had vague goals and although I wished to switch to Media industry, I didn't present compelling enough reasons. This time, my goals were very specific and I had done a lot of industry research over past year. PM me if you need specifics.
2. I had few new leadership stories but mainly I worded my achievements in much better way I guess.
3. I had 2-3 newer solid extracurriculars + 1 community example (I didn't just join an org).
4. I had a promotion though not a major one.

Overall, I was very specific in my goals and how will I be able to make the switch. In this regard, all the career switchers please expect detailed interview question about 'what would you do to find an internship' + 'how fill you find a job' + 'what if you dont find it'. Luckily, I had very focused answers for these. The only disadvantage I felt was I am not a great interviewee, I am not great at speaking out my thoughts coherently. I am glad that I didn't do too bad!
But yes, have clear cut career focus and a holistic story that ties what you have done to what you plan to do.

One more thing - although reapps are not required to submit essay2, I did submit it because I wanted to emphasize on how well I knew Stern program and how much I had thought about the details of what I am looking for through my MBA.

Thanks LB20, I would be glad to join you
Also, are you invited for summer start? Any schol info in your package?
