I am an international applicant and just got an interview invite!

The slots open are from early to end Jan.. Any idea if earlier the interview, the better chance there is? Because I preferably want to do it in mid Jan, given that visa issues need to be sorted out.

I don't think it means you have a higher chance of getting accepted or rejected. They know they only have a certain amount of interview spots in December, yet are still sending out interview invites until the 15th.

I just hopped on the December slot because with the 3 week deadline they set for themselves, I would get my decision sooner. And I'm very impatient.


The three week deadline? they just said we should schedule the interview within two weeks.
Since I will fly to NYC from Hong Kong, so need some Visa stuff and hope the Jan interview will not affect the result!
And good luck on your interview!!

Sorry if I wasn't clear. The admissions office says they will reach a final decision on your application (acceptance/rejection/possibly waitlist) within 3 weeks of your interview. Sometimes sooner. I think the only advantage to interviewing earlier is getting a final decision earlier.

But Stern says they accept around 70% of people they interview and even advertise minority candidates to interview in February. Since such a large amount of invites are going out this week and probably next, that means most candidates won't interview until January. Therefore there can't be that big of an advantage.

Just got waitlisted. Not the response I wanted, but much better than a ding. Any idea what percentage of folks from the waitlist get interview invites eventually?

Sorry to hear sticks! Hopefully we'll be hearing good news from Kellogg and Tuck in a week and a half!

Thanks bml! I'm hopeful for Kellogg, my interview there went very well I though. Being wait listed almost feels like going through the whole app process again. Now I have to prove my worth even more :)

Kick ass on your interview.

This is what the site says about off campus interviews

Quote:
Off-Site Interviews
If you are invited to interview but are not able to come to Stern, you may consider one of our off-site interview locations. For priority consideration for off-site interviews, apply by November 15. We typically conduct off-site interviews in China, India and the United Kingdom in March, but the locations and timing are subject to change each year.

Candidates participating in off-site interviews are not at a disadvantage to those interviewing at Stern. However, if timing is an important consideration, you may be able to interview sooner in New York City.

Hi All,

Seems I am a little late to the party. I am planning to apply to schools in Round 2 (Jan deadlines) but it is already Round 3 for NYU Stern. I am quite interested in the program (even made a campus visit from India). That said, I don't want to waste my time and resources if only very few seats are available. So my question is, Is Round 3 at Stern similar in competitiveness to Round 2 at other top schools(given that there is a Round 4 deadline too) or is it like Round 3 at other schools? I am an international candidate and the website says that internationals are "encouraged" to apply by November 15 deadline but can also apply in later rounds.

Thanks.

During my tour, they said that Round 3 for Stern is just as competitive as Round 2 for other schools. The setup is a little different since Stern technically uses a rolling admissions process.

Thanks, what exactly do you mean when you say that they use a rolling admissions process? Will I get the decision earlier and be at an advantage if I submit my application now instead of closer to 15th January deadline? Do they review all applications of a particular round together like most schools or is it like Columbia's admissions?

Here is the info from the website about final decisions.

Quote:
Post-Interview Decision
If you receive an interview invitation, it is important to note the amount of time it will take for the Admissions Committee to provide a final decision. Upon receiving the interview invitation, you must first schedule the interview. After the interview, it will typically take up to three weeks to receive a post-interview decision. Also note that the Admissions Committee will not make a final decision until your official transcript(s) and any other requested materials have been received and verified.

Sorry I thought I submitted a response to this but for some reason it didn't show. The way it was described in the tour was that the rolling admissions works almost like Columbia's, with the exception that they established Deadline Dates for submission so that they could give you specific Initial Notification Dates based upon when you submitted. Essentially, they will review applications as they come in, so if you submit now or by January 15th, they are committing to sending you an initial notification by April 15. That said, the earlier you can submit a complete application, the earlier they can start reviewing it.

I just finished putting together a Stern acceptance rate analysis. I looked specifically at the acceptance rate by round and found that although the raw acceptance rate for round 3 was lower, it was explained by the difference in the candidates profiles, so round is not statistically significant. I can see that your GMAT score is 770, if I assume you are similar to the average candidate in every other way, then your odds of admission are 39% which is significantly higher than average. If anyone wants to get a rough idea of their chance of admission, post a comment on that article with your GMAT, GPA, age, years of work experience, industry and undergraduate major and I'll respond with my prediction.

Keep in mind that the prediction can't take into account the quality of your resume and essays or your performance on the interview, but it will give you a rough idea of your odds.

I applied on 10/9 (R1). Invited to interview on 11/12. Interviewed on 12/4. I interviewed on campus and received a T-shirt and customized packet of information when I arrived. Interviews are conducted by a member of the admissions committee who is familiar with your application. My resume and essays were on the desk in front of my interviewer. Interview debrief:

Career history
Career goals
Accomplishment at work you are proud of
You listed a few companies in your essay - what is your dream company?
What would you say to a recruiter at your dream company?
What concerns would they find during recruiting? (Application weaknesses)
What do you expect from career services and what will you do?
You've talked a lot about what you like about Stern - what impact do you want to leave?
What are you excited/worries about going back to school?
What do you do for fun in your spare time?
Any questions?

The interview lasted 30 minutes but felt really fast since she already had a clear understanding of my path. She said I would get a decision in 2-3 weeks. Three weeks would land on Christmas, but they are trying to get decisions out by 12/20. Two of the students in my class visit on 12/3 had interviewed on 11/12 and 11/13 but hadn't gotten decisions yet due to Thanksgiving break.

I applied on 10/9 (R1). Invited to interview on 11/12. Interviewed on 12/4. I interviewed on campus and received a T-shirt and customized packet of information when I arrived. Interviews are conducted by a member of the admissions committee who is familiar with your application. My resume and essays were on the desk in front of my interviewer. Interview debrief:

Career history
Career goals
Accomplishment at work you are proud of
You listed a few companies in your essay - what is your dream company?
What would you say to a recruiter at your dream company?
What concerns would they find during recruiting? (Application weaknesses)
What do you expect from career services and what will you do?
You've talked a lot about what you like about Stern - what impact do you want to leave?
What are you excited/worries about going back to school?
What do you do for fun in your spare time?
Any questions?

The interview lasted 30 minutes but felt really fast since she already had a clear understanding of my path. She said I would get a decision in 2-3 weeks. Three weeks would land on Christmas, but they are trying to get decisions out by 12/20. Two of the students in my class visit on 12/3 had interviewed on 11/12 and 11/13 but hadn't gotten decisions yet due to Thanksgiving break.

Thanks for this!!! What would I say to a recruiter at my dream company is a question I wouldn't have expected. Do you think the adcomm meant why the recruiter should hire us? Or why we want to work for our dream company?

I had already explained what/why about my dream company so I think she was looking for my pitch on why that company should hire me.
