Stern (NYU) 2013 - Calling All Applicants

guys - need a quick suggestion on how you are approaching tha is second essay - especially the What factors will most determine which path you will take? as if one long term goal was not enough

I put all my past jobs, including part-time jobs and internships. Not sure if that's required, but I included it so that they had a complete picture of me.

Awesome, thanks for your input. I'll do the same. Congrats on your admit!

WLed without interview too. Anyone get ding? I doubt WL is a delicate Ding.

Any Asia friend got interview inv? I saw some Korean friend got WL without interview, I am wondering if they have finished Asia R1 interview already...

I am Chinese working in Singapore. I submitted on 14 Nov but no news so far. Thanks!

Many people who submitted right before the deadline have heard back so things don't look very bright. That said, I think no interview invitations have been sent, thus far, in January. So, there is a glimmer of hope.

My application went under review on November 21st and I haven't heard back. If I don't receive an interview invitation in the next batch of invites, I will assume its a ding.

I got waitlisted yesterday too. Without interview. I was very surprised, but I guess it's happened to a lot of people lately.

Luckily, I have already been admitted to Darden, so I'm not as dissapointed as I normally would.

I'm another of those whose application went under review on Nov 21st. Visibly I'm anxious having not heard back yet, while folks have been admitted/waitlisted by now. Is there any chance of interview invites still going out, as the notification date is only about a month away? Wondering whether I should start preparations for receiving that dreaded ding...

That's really important update for international applicants like us! Thank you very much!

Thanks for that update GPT55. This is cutting it too close for comfort, but I'll grab on to any hope available at this point.

Lets hope for the best!

Just got my status check info e-mail. Hopefully this means my Essay 3 has reached NYU. Hello waiting, goodbye nails!

Here's my timeline:
Submitted application: 11/16
Got submission confirmation: 11/29
Got decision of WL without interview: 1/7

Going to need a sweet wait-list strategy... so I'll just go ahead and read every blog and forum post i can find.

Best of luck thrones.

If you don't mind me asking what is your profile (work ex, etc)?

Stern seems to have a higher yield from Interview > Acceptance. Any stats/ideas?

A quick update about this: I just logged into the interview scheduling website again and now it says that off-site interviews will be held in London, Shanghai and Delhi. Still no dates though and it still says that specifics about the location and time will only be confirmed at the end of February.

26 / NY / White / WE: 2.5yrs in financial services consulting and 2yrs at a fund

Thank you GPT55, this calms my nerves a bit as I am based out of Shanghai and one of the off-sites is there.

I am an Indian international applicant, but living in the US. Dunno which bucket I fall in.

There could be factors beyond your control and that is where I would say a second path might emerge <like a fork in the road>. I would suggest this over internal factors to determine the second path. Few examples:
1. Global financial environment might require you to reconsider your first goal as a top fund manager. In which case you might take up a sure job as a fund manager in your home country or stick to your line of Banking.
2. Entrepreneurship doesn't work out in terms of funding, so you return back to XYZ.

Try to create a fork in your existing path on factors that are beyond your control (otherwise it seems that you are not 100% committed to your first path) and still show success in that fork.

Hope this helps.
