Hi,
I just just promoted to supervisor, so I got a new supervisor myself. I am applying to Stern's part-time, and they want a current supervisor's recommendation or an explaination in essay 4. I want to write that "I feel uncomfortable asking my new supervisor (since she cant even pronouce my name yet), and I am providing the recommendation from my previous supervisor from the same organization, but a different department."

is this going to hurt my chances of getting into NYU part-time? I do have a few other things that I need to put on the essay 4, like why I got kicked out of my undergrad, (my maturity have improved vastly since then, and that's how I become a supervisor, I am not worried about that) I just feel my essay #4 maybe too long if I put those 2 things in there.

Also, I feel that my 17 months of work experience maybe a little low, even though I just got promoted to supervisor. Will these things all weight in on the negative side?
I am not asking if I can get in or not, I just want to know if these small (or maybe big) issues will have a negative impact.


Please advice!
thanks!

Dear bobular,

A recent promotion and only 17 months experience will not hurt you. It is legitimate not to ask your new supervisor and NYU would prefer the previous supervisor to comment on you since you worked for him/her longer. Explaining why you did not ask your current supervisor should only be 1 or 2 sentences, so that will not take up much space in your optional essay. As for your 17 months of experience, you will have close to 2 years by the time you enroll so you are not out of the normal range. What is important is what you have done in that time and evidence of progression, which you have with your promotion.

Good luck,
Lisa
