Stern 2012 - Calling All Applicants

Congrats!!!

Hey all! I am a re-applicant for Stern and am wondering whether the adcom keeps the whole application from last year on file at Stern. I know some schools do, some do not. I want to submit all the essays, since I have progressed a lot from where I was last year and have discovered my true career goals, improved in GMAT, career, extracuricculars.

What I am afraid of though, is mentioning stuff that I had not really brought up last year (I rushed the app, not making anything up) in case the adcom puts the two together and looks for discrepancies.

Any thoughts? I am applying and invited to interview to other great schools, but Stern is still my #1 pick.

Thanks!

so is it me or does it seem like there hasnt been a whole torrent of stern activity?!

I am with you. Not many interviews invitation compared to last year. Also it looks like applicants with high GMAT are getting the interview calls.

Keeping my fingers crossed!!

Got the email today. Got in too!!! Very excited and will see some of you in the fall.

Interviewed on Friday so was surprised to hear back so soon.

Now just got to find a way of getting a loan without a co-signer

Received my interview invite on December 19th having submitted my app on November 15th at 11.50 pm. Interview scheduled for next Thursday. Any tips??

To those who have been admitted: My interviewer said that Stern doesn't make phone calls for admits. Was this the case? Just an email for updated application status and you have to check online?

Hi Stern applicants! FYI if you're applying to Stern through the Consortium Graduate Study in Management (CGSM), hop over to the Consortium 2012 Forum and Update Your Profile to join the Consortium roll call.

It's simple. Just select your school as "Consortium, the", then indicate which specific institution(s) you'll be applying to, make sure your application cycle is 2011-2012 and the Consortium round (CGSM1 or CGSM2) you be applied in. You can do all of this easily through the handy 'Add to Your Schools' link on the front page of the Consortium 2012 Forum.

We have a special analytics specifically for those candidates applying via Consortium and lots of conversation specific to Consortium candidates and the school(s) they are applying to.

Come and join the conversation! Cheers!

I am now officially the first Stern Waitlister in the forum.

They waitlist people without interview?

They sure did waitlist me. Atleast it is better than a ding. Now sifting through last year's waitlist thread.

Same here. Waitlisted. Wonder how they do it without an interview.

Another one on the waitlist

That's right it was via an email, then had to check online. Scholarships info etc. is sent seperately in a letter.

I thought I was too candid during my interview but it seems like everything worked out ok.

I think they really are interested in "fit" during these interviews so show you know why you want to go to Stern in detail. For example have a list of a a few classes or activities that Stern offers that really appeal to you and why.

But really I'd advise being honest and trying to explain coherently why you would want to go to Stern.

same here also..wait listed...donno actually why i am waitlisted...could it be because i have below average work ex..3.5 yrs as of now?

Should we expect more invites to come out?
