Well, that's a good question.. I will try to treat the whole NYC as the campus of NYU (as someone has suggested), and enjoy myself as much as I can But seriously, for me, a nice office and a nice gym are all I ask for the campus. Personally I am not that fond of student groups / society.. After all, there are so many things to do in NYC, so I really have nothing to complain.

I will choose Stern. But I feel so sorry to say 'sorry' to northwestern and maryland, especially northwestern because everyone I met there during the info weekend last month was SO nice to me. Really, everyone: professors, students and staff. Everyone seems happy and enjoys the life there. So I am sure you will love it there too, ORmalv. For me, since my fiance is in philadelphia now, I don't want to stay too far away from him. So among schools on same level, I will choose the one on the east coast...

I just got formal offer letter from OM department in NYU Stern, so I can safely say 'no' to other offers. It's the end of my PhD application this year. Used to be sad when those rejections came to me, but overall I should say it's a satisfactory result. Wish everyone the best of luck with the applications!

undergraduate: electrical engineering ; master: system engineering

undergraduate degree in a top 3 university in China; master degree in a top 10 US university, also an Ivy league university. GRE: 530V, 800Q, 4.0W I think what really helps is the master GPA (4.0/4.0) and research experience in US, and also two reference letters from the biz-school professors and another letter from a SEAS professor. Two of them know me really well. I guess another thing is I made presentation at ISMP, which is the Olympics in math programming field (correct me if I am wrong). So attending the conference that everyone knows (like INFORMS, ISMP, etc.) could help, I think ~

Yes, I will be there. I am in US now. So why not? How about you?

Me too! So happy!! Will I see you during the NU campus visit two weeks later?

You are right. Actually I was interviewed this Monday morning, the one before you. Well, let's just cross our fingers...

How did you know this? From Adam? Are you sure they don't interview top candidates ?
