Any info on how to set up a campus visit & sit in on a class?

I called the admissions office last week and they said visits begin Sept 5, once classes are in session, and that we'd be able to schedule them on the website "shortly." Far as I can see there has been no action on the website since then. I'd really like to go visit well before the R1 deadline, so I can incorporate what I see into my essays, and because I've seen an admissions rep from Johnson on panel discussions at two different MBA Tour events in the past couple months, and in both cases she underscored how beneficial they consider it to be for applicants to come out to Ithaca before applying.

****

UPDATE: I called again, and was told that the Attend an Admissions event page on their website will have the sit-inable classes once they get the schedule, which will still be a week or so. I was assured though that if I just go ahead and schedule a trip to Ithaca any Monday through Thursday after Sept 5, they will have ample options for classes. My plan now is to simply book a ticket for whenever is best for me in mid-Sept, show up on campus, and sit in on whatever class is convenient. The way I see it, the classes will all be core curriculum anyway, and if I end up at Johnson I'll be taking that very same class a year from now no matter what.

Thanks Marcie. Unless I am mistaken, it is you whom I just spoke with a short while ago. Thanks for putting the information out there for the good of applicants more broadly. See you in a few weeks!

Great thread!

Dear Marcie,
What is the best round to re-apply? Should I apply in 1st round to show my dedication to school or apply in January to extend my "reapplication history" and show improvements in my profile?
Thank you in advance.

Hello Marcie,

1more question. How do you decide where to hold Admission Information sessions. For example, how do you decide which places in India get such opportunity? is it based on the Number of applicants coming from that state or based on strategic location,etc?

Thank you,
LC

I'm applying to Cornell and I just think it is great you are doing this.

Thanks

Hello Marcie and other readers,

This is a great initiatve and its great that GMAT Club & Cornell have arranged this. Kudos!

I am relatively young (23 years) with just a year & half of work-ex after my engineering graduation. I have great work-ex with amazing experiences since I worked in my family business and have had an amazing exposure.
Since I want to learn more before I progress with business ventures, its the right time for me to do an MBA.
I am worried that my little work experience is weighing my application down esp for the Top Universities (which are my target).

Please advise.
