Park Slope, Brooklyn Heights, Williamsburg....these are all places that are nearly as expensive as Manhattan. However I would much rather live in Brooklyn if the commute is really as short as you say it is. It all depends on how far away you are from the subway, and which line it is etc.

The Brooklyn-Stern commute really isn't that bad - the same or better than some Manhattan commutes! Google map directions can be a great way to see how long it will take you on the subway at different times of the day from different neighborhoods and addresses.

And you're right, sometimes Brooklyn rents can be as expensive as Manhattan, esp in Brooklyn Heights and Williamsburg proper. The others I listed generally speaking are a little to a lot cheaper. And as I mentioned before, you're usually getting a much better living space.

I would think about it like this: if you want to be walking distance to school, really adore living in the middle of a Manhattan scene, and are willing to shell out bank and be in a very small space, look neighborhoods right around Stern. I really don't mean to knock these hoods -- they are very fun and I love spending time in each of them. But if you're looking for a little more space, and either something cheaper or with more bang for your buck, like a slightly more residential feel, and have any interest in the amazing Brooklyn scene, check it out when you're looking around. I moved to Brooklyn reluctantly when I was new to the city and had intended to be in Manhattan, and now there is no way you could get me to leave.

I received my waitlist notification today.

urggg.

Tough luck! But Better than a ding.. so remain +ve.

Interesting that even WL notices are sent out in a 'rolling' manner! I was under the impression that Dings n WL notifications would go out end of March!

Oh Stern Adcom how do you review apps!

How is the probability game with Stern waitlists?Is it like a HBS waitlist which is nearly impossible to get off.

Hi,

I don't have ANY work experience, I've poor grades in school(<3.5)), I'll have a Master's degree in Accountancy by the june, 2012. Do you think I have a shot at NYU Stern or Columbia? I've a GMAT score of 720 and an Essay score of 5.

I have about 500+ hours of community service over the last three years, if that counts.

Should I apply for the next year? For the batch that starts in 2012?

Thanks,
Dussel Engst Kierberg

Short answer -- no. Unless you have some kind of connection with Leonard Stern or Ken Langone.

I generally try to avoid pessimism / speculation on this forum, but I was wondering what the consensus is for how many invites are still to be sent for NYU. Stern is the only R2 school that I haven't heard from, and I admit that I'm starting to worry. I know they claim that they don't review apps in a particular order, but I applied and received my status check email a week before the deadline. Trying to remain optimistic, but wanted to see how many of you are in a similar situation. (I'm an NYC-based applicant, by the way.)

Then, can you please help me with a few B school options for Finance?

I've cleared my FRM but will be able to flaunt it after 2 years work ex. I'm a PRM. I really need my b school to be reputed for Finance.

Any ideas?

Are you asking about applying R3 this year? It's tough at the best of times, but given the challenges in your profile it's gonna be even tougher. If you're set on applying R3 I'd suggest looking at lower- ranked programs. Simon comes to mind as a bit lower ranked but still known for finance.

I have to agree with Gannet though, your odds at NYU and CBS this year are slim to none IMO. You would be better off waiting and applying next year.

Stern is notorious for releasing invites is trickles.R1 was a similar story.I think there is still plenty of time left.

@brainhurt - Sir, I'm planning to apply next year in the first round. By then, I'll have a years' experience as Account Manager.

Thanks for suggesting another college. I'll keep it in mind while applying next year.

I was about to ask the same question. I have heard from all other R2 schools to which I have applied... nothing yet from NYU. Hope to hear something soon as I'm getting nervous.

Well on Feb 15 2011 (R1 Notification date) 2 gmatclub members got their interview invites!

So take a chill pill, be confident, trust your best work and prepare to wait until Apr 1. I am sure u'll be happier to receive a Invite on Apr 1 than a ding tomo. So let the good news come when it comes!

Lets put a smile on that face!

I tend to think that they are done with the last of the first round of applicants and are now evaluating the second round applicants. Sit tight and don't worry folks, your time will come (especially looking at the spreadsheet).

the NYU second round europe interviews will be held on the 15th and 16th of March in London. So I guess they should be sending the invites this week..
