Calling All NYU Stern Fall 2011 Applicants

guys.. I am about to apply for R2. wanted to find out if any applicants from India/China have rcvd decision?? Just wondering if it is wise to submit in R2.. I dont want to simply waste money esp when many here are waitlisted or havent rcvd any updates etc..

That could happen at Stern, one never knows. Sandy @ HBSGuru had this to say a few days back about HBS process --"...Dee Leopold dont really read essays for the most part. The HBS app could soon be reduced to a iPhone app, where you fill in 3 accomplishments in 10 words each, and attach a resume and other part 1 jive."

I couldn't understand ANYTHING on that forum

Guys, I've asked about this before but I'm still not comfortable with this question:

"As required by U.S. Federal Government regulations, please indicate below your source(s) of funding for tuition and expenses for your first year. Even if you cannot fully support your first year, indicate your sources of partial funding. For visa purposes, funding sources cannot include loans. Check all that apply."

At best this is unclearly worded. It seems to imply that unless you have enough funding to get you through your first year, not including loans, then you won't get a visa. But that's can't be right, surely. Don't most applicants depend on loans?

W/L as well.

Very much expected.

Damn, I was hoping that one of us would escape the pull of the WL black hole.

With so many W/L's comin in today, I havent heard anyhtin yet....maybe safe to say its a ding...

First round Stern. Waitlist today.

w/l without interview

Geez ... what's going on at Stern right now !? The last 3 pages are full of W/Ls.

I was waitlisted w/o interview last year in R2 - finally dinged in June. Reapplied this year in R1, but havent heard anything yet. Doesn't seem too positive ... but fingers crossed ..

Long time lurker.

I find waiting for 3 months for NYU to be entirely agonizing. Most the other schools, Columbia, Chicago, Wharton tell you within 1.5 months whether you're in, out, or waitlisted.

NYU makes the rejects wait 3 months before they find out, thereby inhibiting their ability to work on other applications because so much mental energy is devoted to obsessing about Stern.

I think it's safe to say that they picked out the bunch they wanted in December and 1st week of January, 2nd week of January is reserved for waitlists, and with the R2 deadline this Saturday, I think it's safe to say if you don't hear anything this week, consider yourself a gonner.

I find your post confusing BUT, I'll respond. Schools really have no incentive to hurry their process. They work at their own pace. If they accepted you after 3 months would you say no because they took so long?

One thing I was hoping for was to hear before Jan 4th and 5th when some of my rd 2 schools were due so that I could save money on apps AND not have to spend time during my christmas break working on essays. I didn't hear till the 5th after I had already submitted FOUR apps for roughly $1,000. BUT I am still happy with the acceptance in spite of this.

Also, word of advice. After hitting the submit button, move on to the next school and get the last one out of your mind until invited to interview.

Submitted on 11/15, Rd 1, International (India). Can you pl. update the roll call?

No word yet on status change...

I dont think the guy doing roll call is around any more.

IF admitted, how do you find out if Stern will give you money? Are they upfront about that? I am lucky enough to be accepted to Columbia, but I kind of wnat to see if Stern would give me money if they were to admit me....still don't know yet of course given how slow they are...-_-

If they are offering you a scholarship, there will be a page with the scholarship details in your admissions folder, which should arrive in the mail a few days after you are admitted.

From the Stern website:

If offered admission, you will view an online admission letter on our Application Status Check Website. We will also mail you a formal letter of admission, which contains your deposit deadline and other important information. If you have been awarded any scholarships, that information will be part of your mailed letter. In addition, you will be given access to our Admitted Student Website.

Congrats on CBS!

Doolittle, I don't know whether your question has been addressed. I'm not certain about US Visa requirements, but when I applied for a visa to study in France, I did have to prove that I had enough funds on hand to cover my expenses while I was there. I circumvented the requirement by having a wealthy friend sign the form stating that he would provide the support, and supply me with a bank statement. I don't know whether the same (or a similar) option is available to you. Good luck.
