Hi thisiskshitija,

You may use the Optional Essay to address why you are no taking a recommendation from your current supervisor.

See the video below to understand how you may approach the Optional Essay:


All the best!

Did anyone else notice that the checkbox for wanting to be considered for merit scholarships kept getting reset every time you were logged out?

Wondering if it's worth emailing admissions to confirm that it was checked at the time of submission (since Stern doesn't offer a sanity check PDF download)

Optional essay not included?!!!

Don’t have a transcript - This is a degree I’m currently pursuing, so I’m providing my student ID card instead.

😂

I guess that may be trying to be helpful but it is pretty silly... though I kind of understand from the standpoint of the developer who build that system - when is the right amount of information to include.

Hi @WA@spf1937,

It will be tough but you should write to NYU Stern with all your details including professional experience, GMAT score, and reason (if any) for the low GPA.

All the best!
