Have any R3 applicants for the NYU Tech MBA heard back after their interview? Crickets since my interview on 3/12, but the program is about to start next month so feels strange.

Notes:

Hi all, I am actually very torn between Stern and Fuqua right now. Both are great programs, and I am currently interested in working in healthcare, which Fuqua is known for. However, I don't want to discount Stern's amazing network and program. Any advice on which I should choose?

Really tough choice, was very impressed by Darden and Emory to some extent as well. My short term career goals shifted from consulting to IB during the admissions process and Stern's strength in IB and reach in the Northeast makes it the most sensible choice for me.

Notes:

Want a tight knit program focused on experiential learning. +Haas: Ultimately know I want to end up West Coast. Partner has remote job but would take ~10% paycut relocating to Boston. +Sloan: Been on West Coast for past two decades and want to try out new place. Program seems better for network given size and HBS even if alum are largely east coast

Notes:

Want a tight-knit program with good placement in Tech and VC. Know for sure I want to end up on West Coast. My partner has a fully remote job, though a relocation to Cambridge comes with a ~10% pay cut.

However, I also want to try out a new place for 2 years and reduce 'what-ifs' in my life. West coast program/alumni base worth it?
