Stern Part-Time Spring 2013 - Calling All Applicants

Doubtful. The deadline was September 15th and based on past boards most people do apply around the deadline. Also NYU starts sending out decisions as early as the first week of October. Hopefully the low activity here means my odds of admission have increased

On an unrelated note, I am surprised at the low number of applications that Stern's part time program receives. It is the defacto No 1 Part Time program in New York City, and you would think there would be more than 800 applicants who want to keep their job AND get the same MBA degree that people who are taking 2 years out of the workforce get. I understand the logic of getting and internship and building a network to foster a switch in careers, buy ONLY 800 people in the entire city want to stay in their same industry/company and get an MBA?

Numbers don't lie but I'm just surprised...Part-Time MBA seems like a great deal to me if you are able to shoulder the multiple demands.

i am (re)applying for spring 2013, after getting dinged for fall 2012. havent submitted the application yet.

Just accepted for Spring 2013!!

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!

Congrats on the interview, lcm319! Could you post your stats for us?

- 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.

HI! lcm319,

Congrats for your interview!
Could you let us know when you applied?

Thanks! I submitted my application on August 31st and I got the Status Check email on Sept. 21st.

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!

I applied for Spring 2013 at the end of September (rolling deadline).

Accepted on 10/10.

Thanks Tim...can you post your stats?

Hey, sure.

I'm 5' 11"
Black hair

Haha...kidding

710 GMAT
3.44 Undergrad GPA
3.5 years of experience in technology w/ tons of global management experience
Superb essays (literally spent hours scrutinizing every word, ensuring it worked with the overall theme/picture)
Recommendations from close managers, which I'm guessing were stellar
Solid list of extracurricular that encompassed art, culture and sports

Hope this helps! Best of luck, friend!

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.

Best of luck, let us know the outcome!
