NYU part-time program - Interview Request

by niki522 » Thu Jun 14, 2012 10:05 am
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.

Yeah, your stats are awesome dude. Don't worry about it. Just present them your story, and they'll be happy to hear it I'm sure.
