We take great care to shape the Stern community with individuals who possess both intellectual and interpersonal strengths. We seek individuals who are highly intelligent, collaborative, and committed to flourishing as Stern leaders. Please answer the following questions:

(a) What is your personal experience with the Stern community? Tell us what actions you have taken to learn about us.

This may include current or past gaps in employment, further explanation of your undergraduate record or self-reported academic transcript(s), plans to retake the GMAT and/or TOEFL or any other relevant information.

If you are unable to submit a recommendation from a current supervisor, you must explain your reason in Essay 4.

Essay#2 is probably the hardest question on the Stern application. Be careful, you'll need to answer three distinct questions within 500 words.

To demonstrate your personal experience with the Stern community, if you can help it at all, do not talk about reading the school website and such. Reach out to people, explain why you sought them out and how they were able to offer insight into Stern. As far as this part of the essay is concerned, discussing the initiative taken to have more personal interaction probably has more impact than generic online and offline research.

I would not bring up last year's PT program application in this essay at all xlick. Talk about it in the optional essay, but make sure you explain what has changed this year and led you to consider a full-time program.

By all means use the limited space for as you say, better content.

Definitely! Throughout your application, you should be thinking: does this demonstrate how I'm unique? what value I would add to the class?

I think it's a great opportunity to show how you'd enrich the lives of your classmates and even have an impact on the school.

PS I didn't apply to Stern, this is just general advice.
PPS Solaris1: correct me if this doesn't make sense!

Yes it does. I guess if I was approaching this app, I'd break it down a bit - spend more time in essay 2 talking about how I'd impact Stern, essay 3 on who I am, and why my being a part of the class would enrich the lives of my classmates. I'd also make essay 3 fun, add some details on my interests/passions/etc.

Right, exactly what 3underscore said.

You as an individual are obviously multidimensional (I'm like the most boring person on the board and even I consider myself that!) and essay 3 is simply stated, an opportunity to talk about yourself. Interpret it exactly as a conversation between you and your future classmates. You've already made a strong case for yourself as an MBA candidate through essays 1 and 2, your resume as well as the rest of your application. What else is there to you? Obviously the emphasis still needs to be what will make you stand out as being unique, but you have enormous leeway on what you can say or do here.

And an essay response to this question is perfectly OK. Sometimes applicants feel that's a bit too drab and a fancy presentation or collage in the form of a puzzle is what would be appropriate and expected, but that's not true. I wrote an essay response (granted, not in the form of an essay per se) and it worked out quite well.

I didn't talk about NYU Stern at all in my essay! Think about it, when you first meet your future classmates, would you talk to them first about you and your story? Or why you chose NYU Stern over three other schools and the impact you'd made at work and elsewhere.

Once you actually get down to it, this is the easiest essay of the three in the application. In hindsight the admissions process at NYU Stern is so pleasantly unique as compared to a lot of other schools, you're never hit with ridiculous questions about leadership impact (if this at all then it's related to the school community) or management style or ethical dilemmas and such. Even the interview treats you more like a unique individual as opposed to a budding "business leader of tomorrow."
