And for all the graduate and to-be-graduate students, your academic life is incomplete until you read all the PhdComics. Here’s one for you-

When NYU Poly changed the reject to an admit!

Fall 2015 decisions have started coming out and while we have much to cheer about, this experience of one of our students steals the show.

MP had received a reject from NYU Poly for his MS in Cybersecurity application despite a good profile and early application. He just did not sit dejected and decided to ask the Admission Committee a reason for the reject and restated the credentials that make him a good candidate. Now, in my experience, this is usually the moment when the university sends you a template email citing how they received  a great number of great applications and you just missed the mark. But, luckily for MP, NYU Poly Admission Personnel looked into it, recommended his name to the Admission Office and his reject was changed into an admit. Congrats MP!

Does it mean that you should start harassing every school that rejects you? No. Please don’t! But if you were really sure of your application to a comparatively safer school, it might be worth asking them for a reason politely. Most likely, you will not hear back from them or get that canned response but who knows when the luck might smile upon you? So, this was my feel-good story for the Fall 2015 batch.

I wish you all a good luck and we will be announcing the results as and when they come on our Facebook page – so join us there for updates!

NYU students’ company acquired by Twitter

problemsolvers3

The alert popped up in my newsfeed last night. My NYU Stern friends’ company TapCommerce was acquired by Twitter for $100M. It is news like this that makes you want to get out of bed and start working!

Full article on Techcrunch here.

For all you young MS and MBA aspirants, I wanted to point out that your time in grad school can be very precious. Do not rule out entrepreneurship. While you look for jobs, if an exciting idea or opportunity crosses your path, do not ignore it without thinking it through.

The founders of TapCommerce had started working on their idea early on in first year of MBA. With New York’s resources at hand, they could plenty of help and advice close by (this is why I stress on preferring big cities for MS). NYU has a Poly incubator and the founders were also part of InSITE fellowship program that pairs entrepreneurs with MBA students (I was also part of this fellowship). In the end, it was nothing but the sheer hard and smart work they put in but success came early. This can be your story too.

This is one of the most exciting times in Internet history and USA is one of the best places to be.

If you are thinking of applying for MS/MBA in 2016, check out our counseling packages and join in our exciting journey! Our students love us – read for yourself.
