Calling all Cornell 2008 applicants

Hey Tsadiya, I got it too, I interviewed last week and still waiting for my outcome.

Oh well then i guess i read too much into the mail.

I finally saw some change..the AdCom..as expected..secretly put me on the waitlist...
Waitlist feedback might be available after the 1st of May so there is considerable amount of waiting to do

Sneakily waitlisted here too!!! sob sob...

yay! they eventually got round to updating my status to 'withdraw'

I'm off the waitlist and admitted as of this morning.

Now I've got some deciding to do, but it's exciting.

Of course I'm willing to answer any questions for anyone on the WL, though everyone here seems to know what they're doing very well.

Paul, congrats. So, are you matriculating to Cornell?

congrats Paul!

Thanks ncprasad and msday. It's been a bit of a journey, I may have to right up under the "Evolution of your b-school pursuit," but 6 months ago I was for sure going to Vanderbilt. I only came across Cornell and their dual-degree program when I went to schmooze a little bit with the Vanderbilt people at an "Inside the MBA" event here in the Northwest. Cornell was there also, so I looked up about their program before I went, asked questions, decided to apply, and now it's off to Ithaca! But every experience I've had with the school has been very positive and they sold me on the idea of living in Ithaca, and in turn I was able to sell my wife on it.

I'm definitely gonna be thinking for a while about whether to go for it or not. I was accepted to the Master's in Real Estate program, which I really like and is very focused on what I want to do, so I already knew I was going to Ithaca. Basically, to get the dual-degree with the MBA adds a third year. So 2 years I could have either the Master's in Real Estate or the MBA, but in three years I can have both. I'm trying not to "over-degree" myself.

Also, a third year means an additional year of tuition and living expenses without actually being out in the real world making money.

I think solidcolor had posted a similar internal debate earlier, though she had a scholarship lined up...if only I were so lucky!

What i would give to be even waitlisted.
1 month and counting now since my interview, and AdCom still have not received the feedback despite having sent out a reminder before.
What's a guy gotta do......

Anyway for anyone still waiting, I am told they are now near the tail-end of R3 reviews.

I emailed yesterday telling them i chose somewhere else, so i take full responsibility for getting Paul off the wl!!!

lol

Thanks chimaki!

any admits today? i visited tuesday and michael suggested responses would come out fridays... painfully waiting for a response

I applied in R3, interviewed sometime in march, and got waitlisted two days after the interview....


.... and this week, I GOT THE ADMITTANCE CALL!!!!

so there's still hope for those who are waiting to hear back. GOOD LUCK! Continue to update Cornell with any progress at work, extracurriculars and your passion for the Johnson School.

CONGRATS PROSPECTIVE!!! That is GREAT news!

I had a good conversation today with Ann Richards, and it sounds like they are starting to work their way through the waitlist, so congrats again!! Are you pretty sure you're heading to Ithaca now?

Hi Prospective,

I am on waitlist. Can you tell me detail what steps you took after your waitlist.

Thanks and Congrats.
