CBS admit waiting on NYU

Question

I have an admission for CBS but need to make a decision by early next week. I interviewed with Stern 2 weeks ago and they said a decision would take up to three weeks. What do I do in this scenario?

Call NYU and explain your situation and see if they can give you an answer in time to make your decision.

It's not unheard of for a school to speed their process of they're is a deadline.

I mailed them today and they came back and said they only guarantee to make decision by January.

Hey, congrats on the admit! When you say you need to make a decision, do you mean you need to pay a deposit? If yes, and if you prefer NYU over CBS, then paying a deposit to have a backup plan is what I'd do. If not, then you can keep it on-hold until you hear from NYU (if NYU is a preference). I had admits from both NYU and CBS last year for their Tech MBA programs. I spoke to a lot of alums before I decided to go with NYU. If you are confused between these 2 programs as well, let me know. We can chat.

Let me know if you succeed in getting a deferral of your decision (what seems like a deposit deadline). 
In my experience schools never provide those (for a reason) and they structure their deposits around the deadlines of other schools in a way that makes you decide BEFORE you find out the answer from a competing school.... but times change and I would be very interested in hearing if you succeed in changing the deposit date.

Good Luck!
BB.

I find that NYU has a fantastic program, great location and strong alumni network. Why is it that it's so poorly ranked, when compared to the likes of Columbia, Wharton, or Haas? What does it have going against it?

Not really. Stern has a small class, but their percentages are strong. Roughly 25-30% of their class goes to a Bulge Bracket bank/MBB, and that's before factoring in T2 consulting firms, other big banks, FAANG, and big media corporations. Placement seems on par with the lower end of the M7, so Stern is definitely a little underrated.

Not really...

Columbia ... vs. NYU Stern:

graduates seeking employment: 75.7% ... vs. ... 90.7% (the only schools higher than Stern are Darden, Fuqua, Johnson, McCombs, Foster, Scheller, Carey and Wisconsin)
% of seekers reporting base salary: 70.2% ... vs. ... 89.2% (the only schools higher than Stern are Kellogg, Darden, Ross, Foster, 
% of seekers reporting both base and bonus: 67.9% ... vs. ... 86.3% (the only schools higher than Stern are Kellogg, Darden, Tuck, Ross and Simon)

In the GMATClub rankings that were published a few weeks ago, we assumed that students not reporting did so because they were under-employed and it'd make them look bad (low salary, no job, unimpressive job, etc.) ... and, so with the adjustments made, Columbia's average adjusted total 1st year compensation for the entire class was $159,513 ... and Stern's was $163,100.

Stern ranked 4th in ROI (a comparison of adjusted 1st year compensation vs. the cost to attend the school) -- behind only Darden, Wharton and Kellogg.
Columbia ranked 14th (behind the four schools above, plus (in order) Booth, Johnson, Tuck, HArvard, Haas, Ross, Fuqua, Stanford and Yale).
