Hello all -

I applied to the nyu part time MBA program and got an interview request two days ago. This makes me very anxious as they interview a very small % of applicants and only to clarify something on their application (or so their website says)

Just give some background:
GMAT 740, 6.0
GPA Ivy School 3.85, Economics major
2 years at Bain & Co. and 7 years in top level marketing/advertising firms at a Strategic capacity with consistent career progression.
Does anyone have any idea or anecdotal stories as to what may be triggering the interview request?

Thanks!

Niki,
Your profile looks strong so I would need to know more (feel free to send your resume to [email protected]) to see if there's anything that might concern them. The question for you is: Is there anything in your profile that you are concerned about?

Your stats are top notch so you have no reason to be concerned, unless you are not sharing something relevant. If you do well in the interview, you have a very strong probability of getting accepted, so just relax and practice telling each of your main work/leadership stories in 2-3 minutes.

"Target Test Prep is the closest to the official version of the GMAT exam, about 99% accuracy in terms of the quality and quantity of information. The course has excellently created singular sets of focused lessons and tests for every possible topic that one could come across in the official GMAT exam."

"The TTP course maximizes the efficiency of the time you spend studying. It will take time and effort but I could almost guarantee that if you complete the course exactly as it is laid out you will get an amazing score. They also have a very responsive team willing to help with any questions you might have."

"TTP has two things that I think no other test prep company offers: A teaching approach that reinforces understanding and an attitude that will give you the mental preparedness needed to succeed on the test. TTP gives you a deep understanding of the concept you need to know while teaching you how to think."
