Hello everyone!
As I understand from the conversation, a few R1 applicants have not received an interview invite yet. I wanna dispel some misconceptions and clear some air. So here are some of my research outcomes and comments:
1. For R1, 1st Dec 2023 and for R2, 1st Jan 2024 are the "Initial Notification Dates" as per the official website. This does not mean that you'll receive your final decision by 1st December. It means that *You will receive one of three initial notifications: invitation to interview, waitlist offer, or denial of admission*
2. So, R1 applicants, if you have not yet received an interview invite, do not be disheartened. You still stand a chance and you may get an invite within next 2 weeks
3. For R2 applicants, the latest interview invite last year was around 30th Nov. Since the deadlines are the same, we can expect a similar trend this year too. Regardless, R2 applicants will receive interview invites throughout December, until 1st Jan 2024
If you have any questions (for NYU Stern or for any other school), feel free to make a post and tag me. I will do my best to get the most relevant and correct information for you.
