Hi,
I applied for Stern in the first round and was waitlisted without interview.
I received a mail today saying that I am invited to interview!
I am from India and in the link they have given, there is no option for off-site interviews. All the dates and timings available in the link are for interviews conducted at Stern itself. So I was thinking if I could send them a mail requesting for an off-site interview. But I am worried that asking them this would create a sort of negative impression of me.
Can anyone tell me if I should ask them about off-site interviews?
I'm international too and emailed the ad com to ask about off-site interviews. They responded with the following -
We strongly encourage all applicants who are invited to interview to do so on campus. However, we realize that not everyone is able to arrange a visit to NYU Stern, and we do offer limited off-site interviews in March. These interviews are conducted by an Admission Committee member and the typical locations are China, India and London.
Please be aware that locations and dates have not yet been finalized. Please confirm your interest in an off-site interview. We will make a note of your request and reach out to you with more information in the coming weeks.I was worried that I'd lose the chance to interview by electing for off-site, so I flew to New York for the interview in the end. Honestly, it was a great decision because I got to see the school, go for lunch with a student and another applicant, meet a few other applicants, go to a lecture and generally get a feel for the place. And I love NYC even in -17 celcius weather

Haha that is the million dollar question! Anderson is offering a fellowship and Stern is not, which is a big factor. I liked Fuqua a lot when I as down there, so hoping for good news in a couple weeks. I went into this process pretty set on Stern and I'm all over the place now.
Good luck with your decisions. I'm praying I get either Fuqua or Stern so maybe see you in August!!
