Hi, i still haven’t heard back from stern. Is there still any chance?

Unless they say no, there’s a chance. They have an application update for employment update and new test scores. If you can score higher on your test, then you can improve your chances. A higher test score doesn’t hurt your application. Take a look at the application update form in the portal and decide from there.

I scored a 329 in my GRE🥹 I gave the exam 2nd time

Nice job! Do you foresee a promotion in the next few months?

In the same boat. Moving on to other schools and focusing on those but last year, R1 interview invites came out as late as Nov 21 as per ClearAdmit. NYU also does have a very high interview to admit conversion rate, and it takes them a really long time as they read your entire application. The process makes sense, waiting is hard so I’m just forgetting it till I hear back!

Definitely, I submitted the 16th and just got invited about an hour ago. This invite took the longest as I've already interviewed for CBS and UVA.

If I submitted my application on September 9 and others who submitted on September 16 are receiving invitations, does that mean I’ve been dinged, considering it’s rolling admissions? anyone else on the same boat ?

I wouldn't say so. I saw people saying they submitted on the 16th and got an invite weeks ago so I thought the same thing. Im not sure how they go about it.

I don’t think so. For example, I don’t think any African has received an invitation yet at this time. I don’t know how Stern reviews app, but it’s definitely not based on submission date.
