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 so much for the sharing!
Seems that there is no behavioral questions?
And how do you address "What do you expect from career services and what will you do?" what they ask is about the detailed service matched your career goal?
Thanks so much!

No behavioral questions. As a career switcher (function and industry), I think she wanted to make sure I would be proactive. The questions all flowed conversationally...this felt like more of a follow up to our recruiting conversation than a question out of the blue.

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.

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.

Hi,

Thanks for that. I am not really an "average" MBA applicant. My stats are as below:

GMAT - 770 (Q50, V45)
GPA - Don't have one. Indian candidate.. Had about 6.8 on a scale of 10.
Age - 25 by Matriculation
years of work ex - 3 by Matriculation
Industry - Fashion & Apparel. Goal is to continue in retail
Freelance Journalist
Undergraduate Major - Fashion
Female, made a visit to the school from India (not sure if any of these 2 have any bearing on the admissions)

What do you think of my odds to Stern as well as others schools in my school panel on the left? Also, do you recommend applying in R3 to Stern?

I am going to Diversity Day. I don't think any decision will be made before then. Also I would love more face time with students and Admissions.

I am also waiting for an update. This is pure speculation but I bet they will send out a few next week and then save the rest for around January 5th. The probably have to get together as a group and may have one meeting before break to discuss a few applicants.

I got the impression that they were very busy and are just settling in to reviewing candidates. How long ago was your interview? Over three weeks? I know someone who interviewed over 3 weeks ago and still hasn't heard anything.

Is it possible that receiving the official GMAT score very late affects the reviewing of the application?

The adcom were under the impression that I hadn't sent in my official scores until a couple of weeks ago ( even though I had them sent in sep ). It's all sorted out now, but does such a thing effect one's chances?

last year a batch of decisions were sent out around the 10th/11th. i'm at 3 weeks, what about you?

I agree they seemed really busy but also know they've interview a lot of people in November. Hope they can start giving some kind of update as they've stated it would take up to 3 weeks for a decision.l
