<p>Thats about it....these are the activities most important to me. My recs. should be good and my essay reveals something about me that wasnt in the app( how my dad and I do handiwork "prjects" together; we built an extension to our house, etc...) I would really appreciate it if you tell me of my chances at ED at NYU Stern. Thanks alot.</p>
<p>I think you have a great chance. Your academics are solid and ur extracurriculars show a lot of commitment. I think Stern would find the Morgan Stanley internship especially interesting. Good luck... i know some people at Stern if you want to know anything else. Can you do me a favor and rate my chances? The post is "Chances for Stern RD." Thanks.</p>
<p>kingz, how did you land that internship at Morgan Stanley? I am trying hard to get an internship at an investment firm/brokerage, but so far have had no luck.</p>
<p>nyer03....i had an internship at a major financial company as well. it's all about connections...ask your friends if their parents work at any of these places</p>
<p>in the nyu app...they have a section for work experience, internships, etc. So i put it in there. We did some pretty unbelievable stuff as interns and i learned alot about marketing, mutual bonds, conducting business conf, management, oratory skills, etc.</p>
<p>I believe you mean "mutual funds" and not "mutual bonds". Mutual funds pool money to invest in securities (be they stocks or bonds). Don't get that wrong on the b-school app.</p>
