Ask Stacy Blackman

Dear missgg,

It is hard to comment on your chances as an admissions decision is made on more than GMAT, GPA and years of experience. With your GPA, scoring well on the GMAT is important to show you have the academic aptitude for the curriculum. There is not preferred industry experience at NYU; the school just receives a large number of highly qualified applicants from finance due to its location. For the part-time program, your professional track record is also critical; you want to show progression in scope and that you have gained breadth/depth of knowledge and skills in your industry. Likewise, you want to show how your current experience plus the MBA will propel you towards your future career goals. I highly encourage you to visit NYU if you haven't already, meet with an admissions professional, attend a class, etc. I think you will find it beneficial in assessing your profile and determining how to best position your background in your application.

Good luck,
Lisa
