Aw, Stern is great too and you may get that interview invite. I feel like there is still a chance....but I am trying to concentrate on my R2 app to Georgetown because that probably is the most realistic for me! :)

which would be better....georgetown or mayland? in terms of finance program and placements?

Raven, your frustration is shared. These things happen all the time; there's nothing we can do and just have to keep trying. Sometimes the whole process is so random/perhaps totally unfair. I don't want to go into details.

Also, I've been interviewed by people who were by far way less qualified than I am (2nd year or alum). For this reason only I really like Stern's process of using adcoms for interviews. To me at least, adcom is more likely to be objective than some less qualified 2nd year/alum.

sorry to hear about your ding. i had an interview that went really well and got a ding at a school that was my first choice. i found out that one of my coworkers from my previous job got in last year. i couldn't believe it. in every quantifiable measure, i would consider myself a stronger candidate... obviously i can't say for certain with the essays, but i was shocked and a bit angry.

anyway, my point is, the admissions process is a total crapshoot. who can really explain their "process". from our vantage, after getting over a few hurdles (minimum gpa, gmat), they might as well pick names out of a hat. and it's even more difficult for common backgrounds (asian/indian; IT/finance).

good luck

Adi - definitely G'town. MD is not too bad but not great. If you have time you can apply to both?

isn't it true that Georgetown doesn't provide any loan assistance to international students?

I am not sure about that, since I am not an international student...but you can call them up and ask!

I've heard good things about Maryland...I am going for Marketing so I didn't look into Finance too much. Maryland has a stronger reputation though, I thought.

The only reason I picked G-town is because I want to be in a city.

Georgetown is really more of a "town" not a City IMO. If you want a city (in addition to NYC schools), why not try the Chicago/Boston schools?

I disagree. D.C. is one of the most eclectic, cultured big cities in the United States. That's like saying Greenwich Village and Morningside Heights are "towns."

Well, I am based in NY and my fiance is here so I only picked DC because it's a reasonable distance away and I have a bunch of friends there.

This is a question specific to the current students, and any reapplicants. I am a reapplicant from last year's R1, and couldn't make it to this year's R1. The Stern website states that the reapplicants are considered as such if they reapply within one year of their initial application. If I apply in R2, am I considered a fresh applicant, or by one year do they mean a class year (ie, anyone who applies R1 in the previous year can apply R1-3 in the following year to be considered a reapplicant).

Thanks!

Did anyone else from the west coast just get an invitation to some of the Trek events out here in early January? I still haven't heard about an interview invite yet for my R1 app, but I made it pretty clear in my application that I was specifically interested in their Entertainment, Media and Technology program. I wonder if this might be in any way formally tied to the admission process.

I received it as well. I don't think it is specific to people interested in NYU Stern's Entertainment, Media and Technology program however.

Lurker coming out.

I just received my interview invite this morning (about 9:40 PT). Will be interviewing in mid-Jan. There were a bunch of Jan dates and times still available when I selected mine, so still hope for a lot of folks.

Haha, yeah, being Asian is like so not "minority' in b-school. People keep telling me oh you're an Asian woman you'll get a leg up but all I see at orientations are Asian girls! LOL.

lol!!! asians are considered to be the smartest group...that is why the expectation is much higher....if i would have been an american with the same profile and application, i definitely would have got accepted at booth....

Look.......I realize applying to graduate school is exhausting and frustrating, but let's try and be mindful of what we are actually saying. As an American, I find your comment highly offensive.

Good luck to everyone
