Your experiences do not have to be in line with what you want to do post MBA. In fact, most people go to bschool to "reinvent" themselves. Adcoms look at your work experience as a barometer of how you would handle new challenges, not so much as how relevant it is to your career goals. That is probably more for future employers, which would be his father (et al).

I do largely agree with what you said. I was merely pointing out a possible inconsitency in his "story". Everyone comes from different backgrounds and looking to get different things out of the program.

Awesome and interesting profile. If I were to guess, that low verbal is the main reason for your bad news. With such a split, adcom may see you as too quant focused. Being Asian and male doesn’t help you either. Don’t get me wrong, there’s nothing wrong with being Asian and good at math, but there’s a lot of guys like that applying for top MBA’s. You’re in direct competition with them. A 610 gmat works if you're a publicist from Europe or a Non-profit from the US, but not if your an Asian male (Unless you have something else that’s truly amazing in your profile).
However, with a quant score like yours, you certainly have the mental horsepower for a great GMAT score. If you get that verbal to the mid 30’s, you should have a great shot.
A word of good news, NYU tends to give notifications fastest to reapplicant who have made a substantial improvement in their app. If you apply before the Sept. 15th deadline, it would not be unheard of for you to hear back by early October.
