Four days after receiving my online acceptance, I received a scholarship package along with my hard copy of the acceptance letter.

Is anyone familiar with on-campus vs. off-campus housing options that most Stern students choose? Is anyone familiar with the Palladium, which is the on-campus option? Thanks

Just received an invite to interview for Summer Start yesterday. I'm a R2 applicant who applied on 1/14, and hadn't heard anything from the AdCom up until this point. For those who are still waiting...there's still hope! Best of luck to everyone!

I had a conversation with the BSchool Ambassadors during my student orientation regarding this same thing. They actually stated that no one really opts for the on-campus housing. For the most part, students are spread all throughout NY and that the on-campus housing is really a convenience for international students since they likely don't have the time to find an apartment to rent until the second semester or year.

Hi there, does anyone know how long does it take to receive the confirmation that Kroll check is OK? I am an international, so I assume mine will take longer. Looking at last year thread some people waited more than 8 weeks! I am looking forward quiting my job and I would feel better to be over with the Kroll thing before quiting.

I am in an indentical situation: waiting to quit my job but only after the Kroll verification comes through. I found out that my background check is complete and the report is lying with Stern. Anyone knows how long this takes, typically? I am an international student.

Also for people with questions about scholarships, they come in the mail shortly after your acceptance via email. Mine took about a week. Out of curiosity what is the range of scholarships they offer, in terms of dollar amounts?

Thank you!

As a curiosity when did you complete the Kroll form? And how do you know that Kroll has sent the report to Stern?
I work in a huge company so there is no way to know who Kroll has been in contact with. I personally do not manage to get in touch with my own HR; it's a department that seems to be out of phone and email reception lately...
It's been a little over 3 weeks now that I submitted my Kroll form... still waiting.

Did the school only send background check instruction to students who had paid the deposit?

The instructions come in the info pack that you receive upon admission ; also available in teh admit website. But Stern requires that you go through Kroll process only after having paid the deposit.

congrats on your acceptance!
Kroll is very simple, you just fill a form online and pay 100$. They check academic and professional references.
You can start whenever you want but I believe Stern asks you to start before May 1st. Kroll does contact your employer. If you don't wnat your employer to know about your MBA plans (ie you don't want them to take this information in consideration when deciding about your bonus...) you can writte to the school and ask them to extend the deadline for you.
Also you should plan on several weeks before the verification process is complete. Although for some people it goes quick, for some (me...) it takes time. I guess it has to do with the country you are from. If you work in the USA, there is a good chance that many of your data is already available to Kroll through various databases.

stern does things a little differently...just like you learn of your acceptance thru an email telling you to check your changed status update. you don't find out about a scholarship until you get the hard-copy acceptance package physically mailed to you. some people may get phone calls checking to see if you checked and saw your accepted status...but that comes after the email.

stern's website: https://www.stern.nyu.edu/programs-admis ... olarships/
says they give out scholarships to approximately 40% of their admitted students...which seems like a high number. i don't know what the average amount is though.

i've only seen full-tuition scholarships from the various schools...does anyone know if it's possible to also get a scholarship that includes additional expenses (ex. housing, supplies/materials, living stipend, etc.)?

Well in my case it's been 5 weeks now so I called up Kroll and asked them what was going on. They informed me about the fact that my verification was complete (about a week ago) and the report was lying with NYU Stern. I then called up Stern but received the typical answer of how it "takes time" to process the results before we let candidates know, but that I shouldn't worry. Just waiting now...

I received a full-tuition scholarship for both years, but I do not think that is the case for everyone. One of my friends just received $20k a year, so I do not think there is any rule that says it has to be all or nothing.

Is everyone who has been admitted attending the admitted students weekend in April? I am excited to meet everyone!
