Any people accepted on 1/5 receive a call from Stern?

I just received a typical email saying to check my status.

WL w/o interview. Mid-700s gmat, applied around deadline. Possibly most importantly, I live overseas in the middle east. Not sure what that means for all the India applicants...maybe not a whole lot.

Applicants from mainland China received invites yesterday. Applicants from other Asian countries could to get theirs this week. (Fingers crossed)

W.R.T Wharton's waitlist, rumor has it that H and S rejected/waitlisted a lot of finance folk and hence, Wharton waitlisted many applicants anticipating their applications for Round 2. This has been discussed to death in the Wharton and Harvard threads.

I was beginning to think that yesterday’s waitlists were a trickledown effect. Regardless, the number of applicants on waitlist has gone up at all schools.

Edit: Just found this: Calling All Wharton 2011 Business School Waitlisters!!

Indian Applicant waitlisted.

730/m/Financial Operations.
submitted 11/11.

Btw something very funny to report. My YouTube video (Essay 3) has not had a single view since I submitted the application. This makes me think that initial filtering is on the basis of core factuals rather than essays. If it is so, then this is a complete game-changer.

Just logged in to check my status and got the waitlist notice (w/o interview). I didn't get an email yet about my status changing, so it seems like there is a definite lag between when they change the status and when the email goes out.

That's really interesting. I wonder if anyone else has had a similar experience?

Suggests that it would be wiser to send something they don't have to go to any extra effort to look at/listen to, i.e. an essay or something physical....

That's at least slightly reassuring... I wonder how many submitted video essays though - I kind of thought that since it's the first year they've allowed it not all that many people would think to do it. Naive!

p.s. another waitlist... I don't know if that's congrats or hard luck? Hopefully you'll get that situation you described earlier in the thread where one offers and then you can call up the other feeling pretty good about your options.

Check your spam folder? Sometimes the update email can end up there. I received mine few hours after I checked my status online.

The WL thing is funny... when I got WL'd by Yale, it gave me a sense of relief and happiness as it confirmed that I'm in the ballpark. The second WL is a much different experience :wink:

Can totally understand that, you just never know where you stand until you've had some sort of feedback so it must be good to know you're there or thereabouts, but then once the expectations are raised....!

Congrats anyway, and good luck.

I think that when they chose to allow something, they would assume a scenario where most students would start doing that. e.g. - If they thought of allowing live presentations by applicants, they would immediately reject it. So it would be greatly unfair to allow something and not give it value. I doubt NYU would do such a thing, but I am too scared to ask the adcom about it... :shock:

Also, IMO a video is easier to go through and critique than an essay

I doubt if they read every essay of every applicant. It wouldn't be practical. When one applies for jobs, do the recruiters read every resume in its entirety? People form opinions with partial bits of information. Screening happens everywhere.

It's really funny that you mentioned "being in the ballpark", those are the same exact words I've been using since yesterday to explain why I am not so demoralized. But it is my first one...
