Hello
Kalpit1212,
I hope you are doing good. To answer your questions-
1. EA Score Acceptability: The EA score requirements can vary from one business school to another. Generally, top MBA programs have their own guidelines for EA scores, and these may differ from GMAT/GRE score expectations.
2. Comparing EA and GMAT Scores: NYU Stern, like many other top MBA programs, considers a variety of factors when evaluating applicants. While a high GMAT or GRE score is typically seen as a positive factor, it is just one component of your application. Your work experience, leadership qualities, essays, recommendations, and interview performance are equally important. If your EA score is lower than someone with a 99th percentile GMAT score, it may be a factor in their favor, but it doesn't necessarily mean they will be preferred over you. It depends on the overall strength of your application.
3. Applying in R3 vs. R2: Applying in Round 3 can be more competitive than earlier rounds because many seats may have already been filled in previous rounds. However, it's not necessarily detrimental to your chances. Admissions committees understand that international applicants, especially those from countries like India, might have different timelines due to various factors. If your application is strong and well-prepared, applying in Round 3 can still result in an admission offer. The key is to ensure that your application is as competitive as possible, regardless of the round you choose.

Hi All,
I have following questions:
1. How high EA score is acceptable to the school? I'm an international student from India.
2. Would Stern consider my score below than someone who has a 99%ile GMAT score?
3. Since Stern's R3 is about the same time as other schools' R2, would applying in R3 be detrimental to my chances?
Any responses would be immensely helpful. Thanks
