ooh! I actually asked my school to overnight my transcript with the form because I had to fax the form to my school and send it to NYU. I studied in US but now in Europe so I thought that will be the faster way.....if I wait to have my school send it to me and then send it back, it would have been a nightmare....

2) Stern obviously places well in banking in NYC. But what about international placement, say Asia? Do they place well there? Also, what about consulting? Can you get an M/B/B interview easily?


That is a really tricky question. Obviously it is dependent upon how many people want to work in asia, and then the number that get it.

I can confirm that the banks appear to recruit for asia here. It isn't my interest, so I am not sure in detail about how strong the facility to do that is (I am not a member of the Asian business society, so don't get their recruiting events).

That said, Finance is pretty global. All the European arms of the IBs recruit here, and it is the same banks pretty much in Asia. Ergo, the same values should carry.

TO THE REGISTRAR:
• The person designated above is applying for admission to NYU Stern. Thank you for your assistance.
• Please attach an official copy of his or her transcript to this form and complete the form as indicated. The transcript should include the dates
of attendance; a listing of classes taken and marks or grades earned; and, if completed, the name and date of the degree conferred.
• Please seal the envelope and sign across the envelope seal to ensure confidentiality.
• Return the sealed envelope to the applicant, who will submit it unopened to MBA Admissions with the application.

This is what it says on the recommendation form

[edit] sorry, not reco form, but transcript req form.


I see, cool thanks. I assume also that it's fine if its send by my directly to NYU? I am overseas and did my undergrad in the US, all other schools are ok with taking the transcript directly from my undergrad...dunno about NYU?

By the way, if someone can confirm that the GMAT can be sent at interview time, that would be great.

(i guess i should just call adcom and confirm..)

Stern also wants us to enclose a copy of the degree certificate with the Transcript.

Why do they want us to send? They should also accept the self reported transcripts.

Their school - their choice, as simple as that.
Unfortunately it means a lot of headaches for us!!!!

Why Stern? [#permalink] New post   03 Nov 2007, 16:17
Guys,
Did you talk about Why Stern at all in Essay 1? Or did you leave that completely for essay 2? I am currently planning on covering it completely in essay 2 as I am already over my word limit on essay 1.
That reminds me, the other schools allow a 10% variance in their essay lengths. Do you know if NYU is that lenient too or are they more stringent about the word counts?
Thanks

Hey bro!

Thinking of Stern but not getting any good insights into Q3. Did you get any invites yet?

Is anyone choosing to simply write an essay for #3? (As opposed to drawing something, making something, etc.)

2nd year reps said that over 60% of accepted students had simply written essays. I think as long as you get your message across, you're fine.

But then again, what the h3ll do I know?

Hey guys, more questions about stern, great if you guys can help out.

1) I don't see anywhere online to upload the scanned transcript?? Is that right or am I on crack? I've sent the official copy already from my undergrad.

2) Stern doesn't have any essays about leadership, teamwork, etc. Where do you guys talk about that stuff? Essay 1?

3) I've heard some rumors that stern is regarded as second rate to columbia is there any truth to that??? I wouldn't want to go anywhere that's got a weak reputation...


Thanks!!

Stern wants official copies with that cover sheet attached with it.

Hmm, maybe they're not so keen on leadership as other schools. Either way, I think it goes in essay #1, but can go in any of the essays.

Rather than listen to others' opinions, you should do your own research. Talk to some of the Stern students.

craaaaap...that sheet is not absolutely crucial is it? I had my undergrad (from US) send it directly to NYU...that should be fine right? It would make a lot more sense than to have them send it to me overseas, and then me send it back to the US.

Who knows? I doubt it's crucial at all, it didn't request much info on it. I sent it to my undergrad and they sent it back to me in a sealed, stamped on the flap, envelope.

SO, I can't even be sure that that sheet is even in the envelope.

I paid for an extra transcript and when it got back to me, I opened to make sure the coversheet was inside and filled out correctly. I paid for that peace of mind at the cost of a Starbuck coffee. :-D
