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

Any update on the portal?

Yes, I received via email and then checked the portal, which has been updated

Also from brazil, waiting for my R3 invite... 

That’s great news. Where are you from and what’s your profile like?

Anyone who applied not received an interview invitation for round 3?

Would love to know if anyone that is a waiver applicant and is not a consortium applicant has received an interview invite for R3. I’ve been on these forums, and live wire, everyday since January and I do not think a single normal waiver applicant has received an invite.

Yes. Even I have not seen anyone with normal waiver receiving an invite

I got a waiver, and the application portal says, "currently under review with the Admissions Committee".

­SAME!!!
I wonder why they give waivers in the first place.

Applied in R3, still waiting for interview invite.

Did they have fees for applying in R3?

Even I got a waiver, no updates yet.

I assume waiver ones will get WL

Any reasoning behind that?

Fee waiver or test waiver?

I’m assuming they have a % of their class they do not want the waivers to exceed. If they are above that point right now, they need to reduce that percentage by letting in less waiver candidates or waiting until more non-waiver candidates commit to coming to NYU. The hardest part of admitting us (waiver candidates), is that we likely are a high yielding candidates (high likelihood we accept an admittance). So if they are above that % they want in their class stats, they likely won’t consider inviting any more waiver candidates to interview. It also appears they approved far more waivers than their target percentage would allow, which makes the waiver application pool far more competitive than a non-waiver application pool. Thus a reason why they might be favoring consortium waiver applicants because those applicants improve the diversity score of their class pool. It gives another data point for the school to base its decision off of.

This is all obviously conjecture deduced from following this form, but all in all, I for one, would have better utilized my time studying for a test rather than putting my hopes into a waiver application if I had realized this 6 months ago.
