arorasa, you should write in a detailed letter explaining the job change move. That will leave no doubt in their mind and thus adcom will not guess on you.

BTW, anyone watching US Open. Tiger pulling away....yesterday's 18th hole birdie was a putt to remember!!

I have access to the database. I'll give updates on Fridays around 5 PM regarding the total admitted. If I check and see a big bump in the total on a particular day, I'll post that too. As of right now, there are 67 students in the database including me. Here is the breakdown by industry:

Industry Total
Accounting/Control 2
Advertising 1
Consulting 3
Engineering 7
Finance-Comm Banking 2
Finance-Corp Finance 5
Finance-Other 7
Finance-Sale & Trade 5
General Management 3
Hum. Res./Personnel 1
Information Systems 8
Marketing 5
Operations/Prod 2
Other 9
Research & Develop 1
Sales/Business Dev 3
Strategic Planning 3

I'm not going to list undergrad schools of those admitted or employer information because I think that would be over stepping my bounds. It has all of that information in the database though. It's really interesting.

Thanks for the good info!

Everything seems to be right on track with last year. Based on that, we should see about 30 admits this week and 30 admits next week. Three weeks from now, we could see a burst of admits that approaches 100.

Since about 5% – 8% of applicants seem to be posting here or on business week, you’d expect a stream of 1 – 3 admit postings per week over the next two weeks, and then a burst of 5 – 8+.

I just hope I am one of them!!!

I've been glued to it all weekend. Following the espn blog now. Tiger's putting is amazing.

sorry, back to your regularly scheduled program . . .

CFA,

Where did you see the totals? I saw the database but I couldn't see any totals.

There are no totals. I copied and pasted the data into excel and then created a pivot table which summed everything for me.

Did it look like any NYU alumni (undergrad) had been admitted?
Also, anyone with under 3 years work experience?

Does anyone know what the background check is like, who they contact, etc.? My one concern is that right before I applied, my actual job title changed - my responsibilities are intact if not added upon, but because of organizational shifts, I am now an "analyst" where I was once a "manager". Crappy, but I was hoping this would happen AFTER I applied.

Who would they contact to find out this info? My boss will vouch for me, but if they contacted an HR rep, I'm afraid that they will just look me up in some database and tell them my new title.

Unless you went from Director to Analyst, I don't think it would be a big deal. As long as you're telling the truth, and your boss can vouch, you probably needn't worry. The process seems to be not as painful as one may think it to be.

First, I just checked the database and there are 75 people in there now. Second, it does not list years of experience or age for anyone. Third, I don't want to start talking about the undergrad institutions of the people in the database. I would rather stay away from talking about information NYU could frown on me mentioning. That said, it's NYU and there have been 75 people admitted. One can easily take an educated guess as to whether or not at least 1 out of those 75 people went to NYU undergrad. Asharc, you have access too. If you want to tackle questions like this one, feel free.

Realy sorry to hear this, Dave. I hope you can come back stronger and apply for next year. It seems like reapplies seem to work.

Would you mind sharing your profile by chance?

-----
Just checked your profile on a previous post you made! Wow. You have very respecatble numbers, as well as overall profile including your undergrad institution and major. Your background of working religious area should make you pretty unique as well. I wonder why they dinged you. Do you have any idea? Really sorry to hear this man, and it is also making me worry big time..

Wow, I’m shocked. Not only is your GMAT strong, I thought your Ukrainian background was unusual enough to be a plus. I really feel for you and wish you luck next year...

So you know, you can also apply for the spring if you don’t want to wait a year.

But… do you have any insight that you can share with the rest of os on why you may have not been admitted?
