accepted NYU, non-business applicant, bad gpa, 1 year work

Hi there! I should have wrote this a while ago, but thanks to the community support here at beatthegmat, I was able to get into the ONLY program that I wanted to attend. Before we go on, this is a part-time success story, not a full time MBA application. I did not have a good undergrad GPA, in fact ...

too late for NYU Stern part-time?

I know the deadline is coming up very quickly, but is there a point to apply part time now? i mean it would be towards the very end, and even if i get my application in, they probably accepted all the people by now right?

I moved up from a 34 quant on practice to a 48 quant on the actual GMAT. My score on practice improved gradually from 34 to like 44 during all my practice tests. ...

Thanks! I will try to focus on the positive aspects of my work experience, and I will probably give my best shot. The worst thing they can say is no, and that doesnt even hurt my future chances.

haha i'd love to ask him personally if he didnt cheat on my wife's best friend and is asking for a divorce just moments ago. Guess I gotta seek out advice elsewhere.


thanks for replying.
I was just not sure so I had to ask. A friend of mine got a 720 on the GMAT, and somehow got into NYU part-time with less than 6 months of worth experience! I knew that's not the norm, so I had to ask around and see what are my chances.
