This is a good point. Do we know whether getting an interview means the school is 100% okay with your scores, GPA, work experience, etc. and the interview and only the interview is the remaining factor? Or, after interviews do they continue to judge your application as well?

josiebella

I would be devestated too if i get dinged after interview. because what the heck could it be then? i thought they have to like your application enough to interview you to begin with!

hang in there....

I think it depends on the applicant. My theory is that getting an interview puts you somewhere on a continuum between "slam dunk, we gotta have this person" to "well qualified candidate who would be great at our school but we need to meet them to differentiate them from other candidates of similar caliber (or calibre if it's a Canadian school)". In the former case, the interview is a formality and so long as you don't do something uncouth like, say, throw feces, you'll get in. In the latter case, you'll have to knock their socks off to get into the yes pile. I imagine most fall somewhere in between.

I am an international student and cudn submit an app in R1 coz of genuine reasons. As per Stern, international are encouraged to apply in R1 for visa & off-site interviews.. I am not sure if applying in R2 wud put me at a disadvantage...

NYU's admission rate of the interviewed is close to 60%. It is also conducted by adcom, NOT 2nd year students or alumni. This makes the interview more of a "check mark" than "part of the selection process." A school cannot rely (hopefully) on a 2nd year student's interview as a major part of the decision process.

For the most part, I think making to the interview means your scores, W/E, GPA, essays are fine. Some students could still make to the interview by having weak GMAT/GPA and a really intesting experience (W/E and extracurricular).

Same here. In addressing the "Why MBA?" part of Essay 1 I tied my goals into Stern's strengths, but I saved the bulk of the ass-kissing for Essay 2.

All of my "Why Stern" was in Essay 2, but I think I would've put some of it in Essay 1 if I had room.

Definitely discuss it. Talk about why an MBA now and then discuss how NYU Stern will give you those tools. I would think not doing this would be very unwise. This will show you have done your homework.

Seems like the safest bet. What else would you consider? Btw I believe there's a thread out there about this very topic.

Hey Guys,

Going in for my interview on Thurs and was just hoping I could get some updates from all of you on questions you were asked during yours. I went onto the clearadmit site and the most recent posting is from April of last year. Thought I could get some more recent questions from you, although I am sure it is not much different.

Thanks!

From my interview experience with Stern, the interview is pretty casual. I didn't get any weird questions or even any situational questions (tell me about a time when you ...). It was just go over your resume, go over why stern and what you plan on doing at stern, and then your career goals and how Stern fits into them. The one thing I can say is be specific about what you want to do at Stern or what interests you about Stern, and know your career goal objectives inside and out.

I wanted to get opinions before I let this go - any input is appreciated.

I have scheduled my interview for mid-January but have the option to reschedule for this Thursday. Any reason to move up the interview? If I reschedule for Thursday then I can't attend the lunch with a student that I currently have scheduled for mid-Jan.
