Has anybody received a decision after previously receiving a request for additional information from the adcom? If so, how much time lapsed between the date you provided the requested additional information and the date you were notified of the decision?

I dont know whether you'd call a notification of missing items the same. I was notified that my official GMAT score did not reach them.

After it was made available(fri), I was informed of a decision within two weekdays(tue).

Btw, Did anyone go through the quantitative skills assessment CD? I havent even opened it. The thought of going through some more math formulae and pressure of needing a 80% score are not very inviting.

Did anyone finish the tests? Are they easy? What areas are they focusing on?

I started reviewing the CD a few nights ago. It is horribly dull.

I haven't taken the test yet though, I don't play to do that for a few more weeks.

I agree though, after the stress of studying and sitting for the GMAT, the idea of studying and passing another quant exam before starting classes isn't my idea of fun!

NYU checklist reads

Quote:

Pay your enrollment deposit to Stern Admissions and complete the verification process.

That verification process link asks you to enter a student ID. I tried the student ID(N*) given in the admission letter as well as the NetID (xyz123). Both error out saying "The number doesnt match their records"

Any Idea??? Did anyone else give it a shot???

According to the acceptance materials that link is only active after your Applicant Status page indicates your enrollment deposit has been received.

Also, the Kroll website wants your last name, not your N**** or xyz123 IDs.

To all admitted folks here, in case you missed the invite sent to email ids in the admitted students database, there is a Stern Langone Spring 2008 facebook group (setup by one of the admitted students) at

https://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=12980760633

Good luck to those who are waiting for a decision.

Has anyone noticed, the Status Check Website shows Fall 2008 and Spring 2009 in the Term dropdown box. Spring 2008 does not appear there. Looks like something wrong with the Status Check Website. Your status for Spring 2008 comes though if you choose Spring 2009 in the dropdown.

Maybe, after reading our impatient posts here, they decided to send out 200 acceptance notices all at once, thus, completely filling the quota for Spring 2008 and causing the website to default to Spring 2009. :lol:

I just called the Admissions Office - They are aware of this and should be corrected by the end of the day today.

If you are as OCD as me it probably won't matter (since you're probably checking the status site even if you don't receive an email) but make sure to keep an eye on your 'Junk Mail' box if your email service has a filter. My acceptance email found its way into it thanks to Hotmail.

That doesn't look good.

The idea that a corporation could pay for an MBA student's education only to have the student use the University to find a new job at the moment of graduation is a business and ethical nightmare. Part-time programs thrive in large part because corporations encourage (financially and otherwise) their employees to pursue MBAs while remaining employed. If companies start to pull their support, the part-time MBA programs will suffer.

I'm sure the controversy is one reason why they make accepted Langone applicants acknowledge that career services will be provided by the Center for Working Professionals when sending in their enrollment deposits.

Valid points can be made on both sides of the argument. For example, most companies require repayment of any tuition reimbursement provided by the company within 12 months of an employee's resignation. So, they do foresee instances when an employee may leave the firm after earning his MBA. Also, many firms treat tuition reimbursement as part of professional development/regular benefit entitlement and do not attach any strings to it. Keep in mind that there are very few companies that provide 100% tuition reimbursement. Usually, the amounts are $10K per year or less, leaving an employee with the need to self-fund remaining portion of the tuition.

Therefore, I wouldn't say that companies encourage employees to pursue advanced degrees. I would say, they make it possible by providing partial assistance.

Ok, but I think you guys are forgetting the % of students that pay their own way and just want more options, whether that means staying with current employment or looking elsewhere. Being barred from recruiting events entirely isn't reassuring.

Baer,

I agree, people who are paying their own way should be able to gain access to on-campus recruiting events. The article does suggest that NYU is making strides in that area.

Quote:

As it stands, Langone students can participate in on-campus recruiting only if they meet certain requirements and only when recruiters request to see both full-time and part-time students. Part-time participants must sign a document promising not to miss a company event once they've attended an information session for that company. They also must go through certain workshops, have an approved résumé, participate in mock interviews, and confirm in writing that they are self-sponsored and do not receive any tuition from their current employer.

The requirements seem fairly stiff, but for p/t students serious about the opportunities, they don't seem too terrible.
