Calling all NYU-Stern Applicants (2015 Intake) Class of 2017

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.
