NYU Stern-Langone Fall 2010

Any big plans for memorial day?

Thank you langone2009.

I have sent in my application for the Fall 2010 Langone as well.
Hope to hear from Stern in the coming days regarding my application, I hope I get in.

Best of luck to everyone.

So if history serves true looks like the first round of results will be due in next couple of weeks.

I understand that all students graduate with a degree in general management. But is a typical class at NYU tilted to folks wishing to pursue a career in finance or is it balanced with all specializations?

That is great to hear. I am really not interested in finance. I just was curious if the admissions committee would view that as a negative. I guess they do a good job in getting the right mix.

hi everyone,
will you be informed when the recommendations are done?

what are the disadvantages of the PT Langone program at NYU? i read some articles stating that PT students are treated like second-class citizens. is it true?

Second class citizens? Can you elaborate. I think everything that you read refers to the fact that NYU strictly prohibits part timers from on-campus recruiting and they make it clear upfront.

Everything else that I read makes me think NYU is a great school. Particularly the feedback from langone2009 makes it only more impressive.

the on-campus recruiting is one of the disadvantages and the articles or blogs also mention that the PT students are discriminated by the stuff and full-time students. anyway, can you share the feedback and experiences that you have about the Langone program @ NYU? thanks!

langone2009,
thanks for sharing!!

Yes.

Anyone hear anything yet?

Apparently, the acceptances should be rolling in for some any minute now. I've read in a couple of places that that high GPA/high GMAT hear in June, mid GPA/mid-GMAT hear in early July, and then the rest hear in the final two weeks of July.

But of course that is just speculation. Just some food for thought.

If anyone has heard, make sure to post it on the thread. I think knowing that they are sending out admits will quell my nerves for a bit.

Memorial Day was so necessary for me. Kind of sad to be back at work, but it's a 4 day week. WOO-HOO!

Sorry for the double post, but I just checked my status (because I'm a mascochist) and one thing jumped at me: the page mentions that if you submitted a complete application by May 15, 2010, then you will receive a decision on or before August 1st. If not, then you're decision may be delayed.

So, how long does it take for NYU to notify that an application is incomplete? Or should we be on top of that? I didn't even know you could submit an incomplete application???

it's good to know that any incompleteness in the application would have been communicated by now. I guess it's going to be just waiting from now on.

Langone2009, What's the composition of the weekend batch like, experience-and-location-wise? What's the demand for the weekend option like, given the fewer number of seats? When do students get together for group activities etc?

I have talked to some alumni from several years ago, and they mentioned that some classes (not core, but desirable electives) might be available only during daytime. Will ones core-group become an issue if one registers for a daytime elective, as they could end up getting split during elective enrollments?

Another question I had - from what you have seen, what is the number/fraction of students with 10+ yeas of experience in a batch? I have read here and elsewhere that Stern does welcome candidates in that range, so I am not concerned about that being of any negative impact in the admissions. Still, it will be helpful to know in what range, etc.

thanks.

>>They actually read essay #3, they are not torturing you for nothing.

:) That one essay remains the same (word-limits, focus etc) across full-time and part-time applications, right?

I went through three versions of it and eliminated the ones that seemed less balanced, as far as introducing/describing myself was concerned.
I guess this one 'essay' (and answer modes) is somewhat unique to Stern, unless you count the power point required for Booth(?).

Langone2009, how does Stern review the Langone applications, if that's something you can share? Do they go through a single committee/group, or several levels of review, with each one trimming the pool progressively? Just being curious I guess.

So is weekend program only suitable for folks interested in pursuing career in finance?
