Admitted to Cornell Johnson: Class of 2014

ralex · **Posted:** Tue Dec 20, 2011 5:48 pm

I got my admit call last week (3rd week of December 2011) and the package is somewhere in the mail.

So, here is the thread for those with whom I will be spending next 2 years in Ithaca!

Lets discuss how much time we are going to take off this summer, how much money we are going to spend in the next 2 years and what are we planning to do after Spring 2014.

the only hesitation for me to enroll is the undecided scholarship. Anyone gets it, pls let us know!

Did your app status update?

I got the call Monday, but my app is still at "complete"

I got the email two and a half hours after receiving the call. Once your status changes, it should read:

Offer - Congratulations and welcome to The Johnson School. Please click the link below to review your letter.

If your status remains the same by tomorrow, you can probably shoot a quick email to your Admissions Rep.

Just a follow-up:

I emailed my admissions rep and told her my status hadn't changed. She didn't respond yet, but within an hour my status was updated.

Two days after decision deadline and six days after acceptance call I got an email that says that I am not getting any scholarships:

Quote:

Dear Ralex,

I’m sorry to report we are unable to make you a scholarship award offer. The high number of applications received made the selection process rigorous and highly competitive. ... Please consider funding from sources outside of Johnson...

Here I come, loans!

There is a list of core classes on the Johnson website :

http://www2.johnson.cornell.edu/current ... /core.html

There is also an exemption exam available for each one of them. I wonder, since I took similar classes 2 years ago - can I place out of all of them? I looked over the sample tests and it looks like with some studying I can pass them. Should I do that? How many classes should I try to place out of? Do I get to take electives instead of core classes?

Congratulations to all of those who've gotten in! I look forward to seeing you all on campus next year :-)

To those who are undecided, I'm happy to offer my opinion/advice on the merits/demerits of Cornell vs another program. Feel free to reach out and we can set-up a time to talk.

Hey Alex,

Congratulations on your Johnson acceptance! I look forward to meeting you at Destination Johnson in April! The advice that I was given is to try to place out of as many classes as you can to lessen the work load. Some stuff they will automatically exempt you from, like if you passed the Financial part of the CPA, you don't have to take accounting. And other things you just can't place out of. I guess it's up to you based on the amount of time that you are going to dedicate to refreshing. No harm is having one less class right?

Congratulations again!
