I'm looking for some feedback on my chances at NYU.

By intake I will have just over three years of work experience (in finance). This includes one major promotion already. Is this doable? My GMAT score is 780. Undergraduate was at a top 20 US school with honors and a distinction in my major.

I haven't pulled the trigger yet before critically evaluating my chances. I still need to secure my endorsements / recommendations but they should not be a problem.

It's worth a try, certainly. Is your employer one that hires from Stern?

They do recruit younger students, to a degree. Age-wise, the current class profile ranges from 21-36 - and work experience ranges from 0-13 years - meaning that they have at least one person fresh out of undergraduate.

However, generically speaking the average work experience is 5.3 years, meaning you're on the low side. Your GMAT score is at the very top end of their current range, so that could help.

Generally if you'll apply you'll want to have a solid pitch for why the MBA is good for you at this point in your career.

Yes, my employer does hire from Stern. Good to know on all accounts, thank you both.
