gargoyle82 06-22-2006, 10:35 PM NYU part time for fall 2006 says 8-10 weeks after deadline, now hitting 6 weeks and no responce. I know people who have heard back, accepted, rejected, and waitlisted. I applied really early so I know they have read my application, if I have not heard back yet what do you think that means in terms of my chances?
To give u an idea of my application, 720 GMAT 6.0 AWA, 2.9 undergrad GPA with 165 credits completed (135 needed to graduate) at a top tier engineering school in NYC (Cooper Union), 3 years as a system admin while i was a student (which i counted as full time work experience), 6 months at merrill, 8 at mizuho, and by the time i enter stern 1 year at a top hedge fund. and a history of community service during undergrad.
zebra12 06-23-2006, 01:08 PM 760 GMAT, 3.2 GPA, 8 years work experience. But I applied right near the deadline.
Clear Admit 06-23-2006, 09:40 PM you shouldn't get too worried just yet (since you are still shy of their 8-10 week promise). Of course, you have a few liabilities, so the adcom is likely weighing your candidacy against the rest of the pool.
Those liabilities are:
-low GPA (sub 3.0)
-beyond your system admin job (3 yrs) which won't be viewed in the same light as post-collegiate work exp., you seem to have bounced around a lot. Only 6 months at Merrill sounds odd. Only 8 months at your next post even odder and only 1 yr at the hedge fund. This makes it hard for you to show dedication and progression.
-you also alluded to strong XCs while in college (might explain the 2.9) but this implies that you have poor XCs since (i presume) which would be another weakness
