VKDAD, thanks for the update. Would you mind updating us on the database count? I'm guessing less than 50 right now. Thank you.

Hello! I heard back from admissions today (around 10am), and have been asked to come in and complete an interview for the Spring 2013 Part-time program. Very exciting news since NYU is absolutely my first choice and my GPA/GMAT are both on the low end of Stern's range. I'll be interviewing on 11/5...wish me luck!

Any advice or tips you all have would be appreciated :)

Hope some of you hear back today as well!

- 3.03 GPA
- 600 GMAT
- A little over 4 years work experience with the last year and a half in the Marketing deptartment of a Pharmaceutical company (I indicated in my essays that I would like to stay at my company and move into a specific marketing position.)
- Solid volunteer work during high school, college, and after as indicated on my resume and in my essays.
- Also, 1 of my 2 recommendations is from my current boss who is a Stern alum and holds a fairly high level marketing position.

Welp, I was waitlisted for Spring 2013 PT :(

GMAT: 700
GPA: < 3.0 (weak area) from state university
Work Experience: 4.5 years Supply Chain/Operations Project Manager, Fortune 20 Healthcare conglomerate, two promotions with a rotational cross country move

I think my essays were excellent. I have very diverse work experience, people management (wage and salary), and a full sponsorship, so I think I had a lot of material to go with. Two recommendations (current manager and former manager, an Ivy League MBA grad). I'm almost positive it was my underwhelming undergraduate work that dragged me down. I plan on writing an essay and soliciting a higher level recommendation. If I can't get an interview/acceptance this round, I'll register for a few classes and try to ace them to prove I'm a better candidate.

Good luck to everyone and please keep us updated!

Congrats, 5'11" Tim! I also applied late (10/3) and my official GMAT scores didn't arrive until this week, so I probably have a while to go to hear.
