my parents are korean, so i thought i'd come see where they came from. where are you in korea? are you teaching english?

That's great. just finished undergrad in international relations from seoul but currently staying in my hometown daegu, 24. I'm not teaching english but just having a little bit of hangover from the applications how about you? btw thx for your post, great job!

Hi everyone,

I hadnt posted before because I was focused entirely on Columbia but gosh did reading this makes me terribly anxious.

I WANT TO KNOW. Klashko sooo lucky man really..
I always told myself that NYU was the application I sent in just for kicks but now that the time is nearing Im not looking forward to a rejection letter...

So 2 more weeks?....

@derly : Well this thread shouldn't make you anxious. None of the rest of us have received any information. If you haven't received any notification that only means your application is complete, so don't worry.

Looking from the threads that have been posted here the past few years, most people have said that by 20th Feb, they were notified whether they got through to the interview.

So relax, we're all in the same boat here .

News? anyone?

Nope! Not here..!

i think we're still about a week or two away from hearing back!

Ahh this waiting is killing me! What is everyone doing to pass the time? This is literally all I can think about--anyone else in the same boat?

Yep. This last few weeks have been pretty rough. But patience, soon we'll all find out...just hope they don't take into account grades as much as creativity. Cheers!

@patchkidco : Haha yeah I know the last few days are crazy. I've re-installed the OS on my phone 3 times over to take my mind off it!

@The moodswinger : I'm pretty sure grades are just a formality.

i think everyone has been feeling a little anxious, especially this week, since we should be hearing back soon. but i don't expect much. i know my application wasn't very strong -- i rushed it, and will put together a better package next year. still have my fingers crossed for fall 2012, though.

The wait has been killing me too. But I'm also trying not to expect a whole lot. Everyone's very talented, and I know it's tough to get in. Best wishes everybody! I'm glad we can all relate.

Long time lurker, first time poster here. Waiting it out with you guys. I applied for the dual MFA/MBA program. Anybody out there like me?

Good luck to you all. Like Themoodswinger said, patience. How do I deal? Lol the gym and a lot of Call of Duty on XBox.

Hey Silverback15, I applied to the MBA/MFA program as well! Did you apply by the November 15 deadline for Stern? Have they called you back yet?

I sumbitted my application on November 14, so IF I make it through the first round I should get a call to schedule an interview by February 15, but I don't have that much hope.

I'm only 21 and I don't have that much work experience: I was told I shouldn't expect to make it, they're really interested in your professional backgound (even though on the they say that supposedly "work experience is not required"). But I went to a Stern meeting and won an admission fee waiver, so I tried anyway...

The wait has been killing me too! I don't feel my application was strong enough though, I had a lot of issues with the 2-page dialogue..! How do you guys feel about your material? Did you apply to other schools as well?

And, if I may ask, how old are you guys? Sometimes I feel I might be too young for an MFA (I'm 21).

Thanks everyone!! Glad to know I'm not the only one out there, hah-best of luck to you all--like JKL said everyone is very talented and I hope we all start hearing news soon :-)

While we wait... would anyone like to give me some feedback on my reel? Any advice would be appreciated.

Hey Coinsquolino, keep hope alive! Honestly, don't freak out over the stats and he say/she say stuff. I'm pretty sure that no matter your age or background, if you have something they're looking for, they'll accept you. I applied by the Jan 15 deadline to Stern. Just enjoying the ride now.

Hey both Silverback15 and Coinsquolino are applying for Dual degrees? Thats kinda interesting. I have a friend over at Stern.
Hope you guys get in, but yeah its going to be crazy hectic for you guys!

@PPK I applied for the Double Degree program, but I have to admit that I don't think I have that much hope to get into Stern.

I went to the MBA presentation in Buenos Aires and I was told quite frankly not to apply because I was too young (21) and I didn't have solid work experience. I applied anyway because that same day I won an admission fee waiver (not because I'm good or anything, I just got sorted): so I had literally nothing to lose.

Applying by the Nov. 15 deadline means that I should receive an invitation for interview by Feb. 15. I still didn't get anything and I'm really not waiting for it.

I think the MBA/MFA program is something quite cool and distinctive, but getting into both Tisch and Stern must be quite extraordinary.

@Coinsquolino : Best of luck nonetheless. If you don't get in this year, well your already better prepared for next year.

this waaaaaaaaait suuuuuuucks.

on the bright side: nyu should start contacting people for interviews SOON. as in, this week or next.
