I GOT IN!!! Got the email yesterday around 5PM that my status check portal had an update.. Totally didn't see the email until 10:30PM because I was in the city all day for an interview and my phone was dying. When I checked, it was my Status Letter..
"Congratulations! We are pleased to offer you admission to the NYU Stern Langone MBA Program...."
YAY =) I didn't think they would get back to me so soon, given I submitted my stuff 5/15 and had a video essay included haha. I feel like it's a dream!
