Just for everyone's information, the admissions office told me that you can start scheduling class visits on Sept 15th.

The app is up!!

Here are the questions:
Describe your greatest professional achievement and how you were able to add value to your organization. (Required; 400 word limit)


2. What career do you plan to pursue upon completion of an MBA degree and why? How will the Johnson School help you achieve this goal? (Required; 400 word limit)

3. You are the author for the book of Your Life Story. Please write the Table of Contents for the book.

#3 is as we'd heard. but, interstingly they do not mention the 400 word limit. It looks like it's not really an essay, it's more of a list. They specify Table of Contents, so I don't think we can write anything about the chapters. Just list them.

Time to read table of contents from many many books!
Also, it is not mentioned as to how many chapters there are, up to the life till present time or can it be a fantasy novel about the future?
Anyways, still unclear.....

Good luck on the application all! The third question looks like their way of trying to get at your creativity, seeing how you can summarize the various phases of your life thus far.

It makes sense that with thousands of applications to read, they would not have enough time to read your entire autobiography. Still, pretty happy I do not have to worry about that question this year!

Yes you are

Craziness!!! I think im about done with first 2 essays. Third essay is crazy!

Thoughts?
Chapter 1:
I came

Chapter 2:
I saw

Chapter 3:
I conquered Cornell

Chapter 4:
Boo ya!

Folks, are you typing in your college employment stuff under both the "Employment History" and "Collegiate Activities" sections of the application?
Also, to those who've planned class visits, are there opportunities to speak to current students, take a tour etc., or do you just go sit in on a class on your own?

Thanks for the report!

It actually sounds like a pretty good way of getting to know the school.

Question, is the presentation and lunch what the confirmation email referred to as the "information session"?

refurb,

Yeah it's the info session. So make sure you sign up for that.

Solaris,

Party scene huh? Not academics? or clubs?! Haha. Just kidding. They all said it was pretty cool. There is an area called college town, which is basically your typical small town main street kinda thing except there are 3-4 streets instead of one. The cool thing is that college town is like the cornell student main street and then a couple miles away is downtown which is basically main street for the townies (hopefully that term doesn't offend anyone, haha). So that makes college town exactly what it sounds like, a small little town populated entirely by college students. I thought it was pretty awesome. There are a lot of bars, restaurants and coffee shops. Certain bars are known as grad school bars and others as undergrad bars. Johnson kids mainly go out at the grad school bars (though I would imagine they venture over the undergrad bars from time to time). There are also a lot of house parties. It sounds like a lot of fun because its kind of a condensed party scene. Pretty much all the single people (and a good chunck of people with partners) live in this condensed area that is short walking distance to college town and the campus, which sounds really cool to me. They also have Thurday happy hours in the atrium with free booze and food provided by the school. Pretty much everyone goes to that. Then there are occasional mixers with the other grad programs, which gives the Johnson guys a chance to hit on girls in the vetrinary program

So, it sounds like a lot of fun to me. Of course, they did also say that it gets kind of old after a while and you get sick of doing the same stuff over and over again. But I think I've got a pretty high tolerance for those kind of activities! Plus, it's not 2-3 bars like Tuck. I think there were like 10 bars there, so it's not too bad. And I did hear from someone that Cornell has the highest number of food places per capita in NY, obviously that's a function of the small population but there actually are quite a few options available imo.
