NYU Stern在校学生答疑 - 新增国际学生节活动照片!!

coffemug

So many questions about WL.  XDJM men, DON'T LOOSE YOUR HOPE TOO EARLY!!!

As NYU only select a small percent of students to interview, so totally agree what Lukepurple said : hang on there!!!  If  you are move from the WL to interview, the ratio of admission is very high.  My memory says ~70%.

suivin,

Just give you a hint:  I applied first round last year, and did not hear back until end of Feb.  Had interview in the mid of March.  So your schedule is totally normal.  Don't worry too much.  If it is yours, it will come.

请问Coffemug，我现在是在consulting,到今年8月满两年，如果08入学的话就是3年了，在此之前在国内一家startup做了三年。GMAT在准备中，应该会拿到尚可的成绩。

现在考虑通过MBA往Finance方向转，你觉得在essay里说自己的career goal的时候如何结合这个背景说会比较让人信服（没有考过Finance方面的证书）。另外就是，国内本科top学校毕业，学校打分很严，GPA不高，这个会有多大的影响。

在此把自己的底都抖出来了，就是想诚心请教，先说声多谢了！

XDJM, glad to see so many questions and so much interest in Stern!  Hope I could help out my friend coffeemug with some of the questions.

Real estate is one of the areas with big potentials too.  A study group member of mine already got summer intern offers from a couple of good shops.  Also the real estate club here also has good networking/career opportunities.  The only drawback is that it's not very structured, so you have to go a little out of the way to get what you want.

Background - What's most important is your interest in your future career, as best supported by your prior jobs, or part-time/personal involvement.  I know this is almost cliche, but it's actualy quite true.  Personally, I think your enthusiam is the most influential factor in your essay/interview/future jobs.  If you had IB/Consulting/Acct background, great, you are ahead of many other people, but you still need to differentiate yourself.  For others, don't panic.  Many career switchers here as well.  Like myself, engineering backround.

As far as the timing goes, I totally agree with my Stern buddies here.  For example, I submitted my application on 3/14 (yeh, last day of third round! I was a big slacker), got interview invite at end of April, interviewed in early May, and got the offer a week later..... So just hang in there, and good things will happen!!!

Best of luck

各位师兄师姐，菜鸟上路很笨的问一句。

hi asurazhang:  Your background is impressive. Actually half of the Chinese Sternies have big 4 background, and some have IB experience. For the preparation, you can refer to Chasedream materials.
They have all the informationl you want. Just follow it, do your
homework, and join a chasedream application workshop. Be confident and
be prepared! Once you try your best, you have nothing to regret in
future. B school application is already a structured process. Nothing
mysterious.

请教各位师兄师姐, 刚刚考完GMAT, 不过成绩不高(没过700),背景呢也一般就是一个computer master, 然后几年的IT工作, 2年的FIANCE相关的工作,不是大公司.我知道我这样问很傻,因为明显条件很差.但很想试一下,又怕会影响明年的申请.

现在要赶第三轮今年的申请是不是没什么希望了, ESSAY基本已经写完,但因为时间很赶,质量估计也不会太好. GMAT 打算再考一次,不知道能不能给点建议,是不是就不要申请了,不过实在不甘心的说.后天就是DEADLINE了,估计要彻夜不眠了.多谢!!

我想请问一下，如果我没申请到奖学金，stern有什么样的financial aid可以让中国学生去申请？

例如前面提到＂2006年录取的八位直接从中国大陆来的学生中有4位获2万美金以上的奖学金＂，那另外４位他们有获得任何形式的资助或贷款吗？还是都是自己准备了钱去的？
