I scheduled for Oct 1st. Just because the fare was cheaper. lol. I still haven received my confirmation email though.
 
I'm here right now. Interviewing tomorrow.
good luck! 🙂 just remember to be yourself, one thing i've realized is that they just want to have a simple conversation with ya. i've heard NY interview is pretty laid back 😉
 
does anyone know the type of questions they ask on the interview?
 
How were the Buffalo Chicken Paninis!?
 
Just had the interview today
It was really short - i think everyone's was about 10-20 minutes, so i don't know how to really gauge if mine went well or not haha
Other than the interview the school was great - facilities are top notch and look brand new. Dr. Mejia is a very cool and sincere person, and stayed with us til the end. Contrary to popular belief, the students there said they loved the school.
I met fsddsms - a really cool guy and fellow UC Irvine/Anteater; and a lot of other cool people from diff. states
The steak sandwich is pretty good if you interview there - pile your plate cause they pay for it!

^^^ what he said. Everyone was nice and I loved the new york experience. All the faculty were very nice and it seemed like everyone had a quick interview. I enjoyed it a lot, and the facilities were really nice due to new renovation.
 
hey congrats on all your nyu interviews! are any of you from the 7/24 mail out ? should i call them to see where my app is at or just keep waiting?
 
If I were to give anyone my greatest tip for NYU, it would be the following.

- Save your stomach cuz they feed you the best friking food ever.

Though NYU gave good food, I think BU had the best food. I remember those tasty gourmet sandwiches
 
Have to disagree with you there, LOL. Boston had 3 dollar salad wraps from Costco which we ate right in the conference room. Terribad! NYU had delicious food and a cafeteria, and I've been around good food my entire life!! 🙂
 
Is it true that we have to write another personal statement for NYU when we get to the interview?? Thank you.

Congrats on the interview, and good luck! Hopefully you own your interview.

Would you be willing to give us a recap of how everything went after your interview?
 
I'll be there interviewing tomorrow as well. See you guys there!
 
Dude, they have dunkin donuts! =D

I know I had mentioned this earlier -- but check out Hotel 17 if yall are looking for cheaper options

And I dont mind letting yall know how it went... if you read back on this thread, a fsddsms/someone else has already talked about it ---- laid back, 10-15 min interview (gah, i spent so much $$ for just 15 mins, yikes! haha), show you around the school (which by the way, is a big gray building that has a purple NYU banner sticking out from one side), etc.

People seem really friendly... i went to see how far it was -- so i know how to get there tomorrow--- and i talked to random DS students (they were wearing scrubs, so it was easy to pick em out =D)
And i was a little skeptical about NYU and what people were saying (too many students, if they were happy, etc) and the DS kids seemed fine with it. I mean yeah, they were on 4 hours of sleep but thats normal for every school. They said that even though the lectures are huge, they get divided into smallller groups --so you will get attention 🙂 and ofcourse the $$ is a big issue- and yeah, i dont think there is a way around that one. haaa. WELL, wait, they commuted --to save money on housing. but then, you lose time in traveling. Either way, you lose out on something.


ANYWAYS, hope that helped...for right now i guess.
I am off to some yummy food.

You definitely have to try Chicken and Rice from the street vendors! They're the Halal Food vendors. Sooooooooo goood and greasy haha
 
I am interviewing at NYU on Monday and have a couple of questions for those that already interviewed. I am having trouble finding information about the interview process on the website or in the email they sent. Do we need to bring anything to the interview? Under supplemental materials on AADSAS it says that "When an admissions officer contacts you, send a picture and supplemental application," but I didn't receive a supplemental app, just an invitation for interview. Any other things you wish you'd have known would be appreciated. Thanks.
