Calling All NYU Stern MBA Applicants: 2024 Intake Class of 2026

This explanation shows that you haven’t understood the process. If getting a waiver implied your chances of getting an interview were higher, why even bother submitting the rest of your application. Whatever they asked you for the waiver should’ve been enough to interview you. But that isn’t the case. If you had a score and you think it would’ve changed the strength of your application, should’ve submitted it. The people who give the GMAT multiple times and work towards that score aren’t doing it to pass their time, it does help your application. Another point is you’re assuming you were denied because of your waiver. The way I see it, even though you had something strong that qualified you for a waiver, someone else’s application was stronger. Don’t beat yourself up for opting for a waiver.
