Hey Guys!
I know somewhere in this thread , somebody answered the following question :
Can one apply for Summer Start or is it only through an invite ?
But there is still some prevailing confusion.
At one place the website clearly says, it is through invite only. At another place, I even read the requirements of the write-up that I needed to send ( some 2 page write up with details that I dont remember now) before May 1st.
I have strong reasons to join the Summer-Start program. So would appreciate a quick response, in case you guys are aware.
Cheers,
From the Admitted Students Website....
Applying to Summer StartSummer Start is an innovative program to help students begin realizing their leadership potential while getting a head start on their course work. The program was launched in response to input from current students and MBA applicants who asked for formal summer programming and in response to corporate recruiters who continue to seek recruits with well-developed soft skills.
MBA Admissions selects a small group of students whose communication skills and leadership potential are key strengths and who would benefit from an early start. Some have been out of school longer than the average student. Others have proven career track records, but in less traditional professions. Others will benefit from extra academic programming prior to the fall. What the students have in common is a demonstrated capacity for and commitment to leadership and a passion for Stern.
Students admitted to begin Stern in Fall 2015 may apply for a limited number of spaces in Summer Start. Selection is based on program capacity, motivation for leadership and the potential to benefit from an early start.
Beginning Monday, July 6, Summer Start classes and required programming will take place 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Monday through Friday (additional activities will be scheduled on some weekday evenings). This year's program will run from Monday, July 6 through Wednesday, August 12.
All Summer Start students take the Statistics & Data Analysis course as part of their summer program and may not waive this core course.
To apply to Summer Start, please submit an essay to
admchair@stern.nyu.edu that states why you would benefit from the program (two page maximum, double-spaced, 12-point font). Include your full name and NYU student number (N number) on your essay.
The deadline to submit your essay is May 1, 2015. You must have submitted your fall enrollment deposit in order to apply for Summer Start. You will be notified of the decision via email by June 2.
Admission to the Summer Start program is at the sole discretion of the Admissions Committee on a space-available basis. Applying to the program does not guarantee admission.
