Does anyone have an idea if Stern tends to hold off on rejections till later for interviewed candidates? I interviewed last week; it went okay but I'm not expecting an acceptance. Seems like people who are admitted receive news pretty quickly after their interviews.
Why aren't you expecting an invite? Did it go poorly?
I gave my interview yesterday and thought it was OK. I answered personal questions nicely but I think the interviewer struggled when I explained my current professional responsibilities. I guess what I am trying to ask it, under what criteria won't you get an admit from Stern. It is my dream school, so I am a little anxious now.
I think I just came off a bit awkward, and from the stats it does seem like at the interview stage, your acceptance is pretty much based on interview outcome vs. overall package. Plus, I got mostly questions about my college and volunteer experience so I know my interview was more based on fit.
I'm sure they still look at your application as a whole, but the interview will pretty much dictate whether you get in or not. With some international schools that I applied to, for example, a good interview doesn't necessarily mean you'll get accepted as some only take 50% of interviewees vs. 75% at Stern. I could be wrong though. Anyone with more info, please chime in. Thanks!
