Has anyone heard yet? I will probably not hear until August because my gmat score is so low, but wanted to find out if anyone has heard.

Stats:
gmat: 610 (high verbal low quant)
ugpa:3.6 from umich
degree: Music
have worked in the entertainment industry for the past 4.5 years
I have a very creative 3rd essay and I have strong recommendations including one from my CFO who is a Stern alum
I am female

do I have a chance?

In my totally non-expert opinion, you definitely have a chance because your music / entertainment background is different than the typical applicant’s background. Since you’d be adding something to the class by that, the adcom has good reason to overlook your lowish gmat.

Looking over the past threads, I have seen low 600’s get in.

I still haven't received my status check email. Submitted the day of the deadline. Starting to get nervous...

metiko: Hope you do get in. I want to get into the entertainment industry. So far, have been doing it on my own. Will be fun to share experiences and ideas.

I think you're within the range which should keep you in the running... also based on other message boards there are those with your score (and lower) who were accepted...

kievdave - I'm in the same boat as you. I'm not sure what's taking so long to send out the status check e-mail.

Has anybody heard anything yet? I was looking at earlier threads and it looks like a few people heard within a week of the deadline. Waiting sucks.

I know how you feel!
My expectation is that we'll get a few GMAT clubers in next week for certain, but maybe also 1 or 2 this week. I have a funny feeling that no one has been admitted just yet.

But in about a month, things will really be rolling...

By the way, any re-apps here who have improved their profile substantially since last applying? You guys tend to (but not always) hear first.

Hi,

If you get a decision early (like late May - early June), is it usually an admit? It seems to me from previous posts that people who get dinged or waitlisted tend to get their decisions later.

Thanks and good luck to all!

I've noticed that as well. The dings seem to come all in one swoop a bit later. So at the least you won't be dinged alone.

Come to think of it, it'd be pretty insulting to ding someone 3 days after you review his/her application.

That's very true. It would be cruel to ding someone that early. What about waitlist -- do people get waitlisted early (late May - early June)? It seems that decisions don't come in the order they receive applications -- they probably send out "yes" first, then "waitlist", then "no" last, but what do I know? It's almost impossible trying to figure out the NYU admit process.

If I got dinged, I'd much rather it be after at least a few weeks. I'd hate to think that they saw my application and rejected it within 5 mins.

Yes. Fortunately, I think they are well aware of this. I'm sure there are some automatic '5 minute' dings, but the school will never ding you right away. That'd be too cruel and they want your $250 to last a while.

Or maybe they're just lazy.

Who knows?

I found out from the NYU langone thread in the businessweek forum that someone has been accepted already! GMAT 720 with a high GPA.
I guess applicants with a strong profile like these find out the earliest.

Does anyone know what the background check entails? I'm only asking because I realize there is a slight discrepancy regarding my current annual salary figure in my app, since I'm paid hourly as an independent contractor (or freelance), and started the job in mid-year of 2007 (however, I did put my hourly rate in the employment history form so that is accurate). Should I be worried about this (if I get in, that is)?
