For international students adcoms suggest to apply by R2 max. The dates aren't out yet.

Try to apply by the 2nd deadline which is usually in early Jan. I spoke to the adcom members last year and they said that for international students who apply in R1 and get invited to interview, their interviews are usually conducted in-person by the adcom members who are visiting those countries on admissions events. For R2 and R3 however, the interviews will only take place at the campus as Stern is against online or Skype interviews. So consider that aspect as well while deciding on the optimal time to apply.

Yes, NYU Stern essays are fun and so is the EQ recommendation! Your EQ recommender will have a fun time writing your essay. My recommender had a great time and he later told me that he wrote about a time that made me emotionally very strong.

Hey there,

No lol, my work experience is in banking ops. Strategy is one of the areas I want to concentrate on during MBA. I'm planning to switch careers myself and pivot into management consulting specialising in ops and strategy.

lol ... sorry ... I don't know where did i read "strategy". Regardless, it's good to know that you are also aiming for a MBB post MBA.

BTW, if you don't mind revealing, are you based out of NYC?
