NYU - MOT program review !

Applied in 7 uni’s (3- Admit, 4- Reject) New York University, Northeastern University, State University of New York Buffalo,Carnegie Mellon University, University of Illinois, Urbana Champaign, University of Michigan Ann Arbor, University of California San Diego I feel maybe my letter of recommendation or my statement of purpose might not have met the expectations, but the universities I got rejected from also had class sizes of around 10, 60, 10, and 200, respectively. I am interested in Research in Machine Learning, computer vision, and robotics, and NYU was best among my admits in these domains. The job aspects at NYU are also very good. I applied for the priority deadline, but there is a final deadline as well. After that, the admissions started to roll in February. Some of the students who applied to MSCS got redirected to MSCE, and I was one of them. After getting admission, we have to pay the initial enrollment fee to confirm our admission, after which the process of VISA starts, like i20, then all VISA processes where NYU has helped us through various webinars.  Documents required for the application process for eligibility criteria at NYU: a. Resume, b. Transcript c. Statement of Purpose d. Letter of Recommendation(2). e. Test Score(GRE, and TOEFL/IELTS) The Statement of Purpose was a bit challenging as it had these requirements: Your total essay upload should be in 12 pt, Arial font and no more than two pages, double-spaced, in length. So, fitting everything on two pages, with double spaces, was a challenge. In the Fall of 2024, I am interested in research, so it motivated me to the graduate program. It took about 6 months, starting from October to ending in March. In the initial months, I prepared my documents like a statement of purpose and letter of recommendation and crafted my curriculum vitae for this application. I had my y=tgest scores available from July itself, so I used those t=for a smooth application process. I received my admission in March, after which I started my VISA process....Read More

1. Arizona State University (Admitted) 2. New York University (Admitted) 3. University of Texas Dallas (Admitted) 4. Northeastern University (Admitted) 5. Carnegie Mellon (Rejected. I got rejected because I feel I didn't have good GRE score to get into this college as it is one of the best colleges in the world and highly competitive. Also I felt like I should have some achievements to get into such competitive colleges.) I chose NYU over others because my friends were in NY and that college is situated in the Big Apple where plenty of opportunities are available be it startups or big tech companies. The admission process consisted of applying and waiting for result. Eligibility criteria was GRE and TOEFL. I guess min score was 115 in GRE. The overall admission experience as moderate. I applied to Fall 2023 and the factors that influenced my decision was a companies usually hire during the Fall season just after we graduate in May. The admission process took 3 months. I applied somewhere in August 2022 as soon as the applications opened and got accepted in month of January 2023. The application took approximately less than 10 minutes to complete....Read More

Till now it has been great. Extremely tough curriculum, but it is after all NYU. There have been many great events. Even one job fair. It is great but little too expensive. For MS students in Courant and Stern they don’t give any scholarships which is bad. Otherwise great. Good faculty, tough but good....Read More

I really enjoy studying at NYU, we have soo many resources that two years does not seem enough to explore and use all of them. We also have a safety cab service where we can book free cabs between 11pm and 6 am but only between campus buildings. We also have a box office where we can book cinema and broad way show tickets for heavily discounted prices. The education here is amazing and you will learn a lot if you choose to. Scoring marks depends on how much you actually learn and perform in the college....Read More

Location in heart of NYC and a strong finance program with significant alumni presence in the industry were two major reasons I chose this program. Getting a full-tuition scholarship made the decision easier....Read More
