Ahhh I hate this wait. A friend just pranked me from a restricted number - "This is not Cornell" ... it's going to be a long 2 weeks.

Hi All,

I just called the Admissions office of Johnson and had the following conversation with them (verbatim):

"
Me: Hi, there are rumors floating around that Johnson is already rolling out their decisions for R1 applications. I'd like to confirm if that is the case.

Admission : Our decision notification is Dec 20th.

Me: Does that mean that we will not get the decision before that?

Admission: Yes
"

I think that clears it up. So, we can all breathe a sigh of relief and postpone this excitement/anxiety for a few more days.

If this information helped, kudos are welcome :)



While I don't doubt that you did have this conversation, my friend did indeed get an admit call yesterday, I'm just reporting what I heard, do with it what you want.



Then it is weird why they are sending out mixed signals. It'd be great if you could share the date your friend got an interview invite and the date he/she completed the interview. Also, did he/she get a phone call or an e-mail?

I had my interview on November 8th, and she told me that I should expect a decision between four to six weeks (Dec 6 to 20th).

I believe that every time you call the admission office, they are ONLY ALLOWED to say Dec 20th.

I have to agree with johnnyGMAT here.

If it were a Receptionist who answered the phone, they probably just based their answer off of the published calendar.

That's hilarious. Every day that I don't get a call, I look a little more like my avatar.

It's hilarious, but also sick. I take it this friend is not currently applying to b-school.

She interviewed during Johnson's Diversity weekend, JMB, which is in October, I believe it was an open interview, and applied through the Consortium for Round 1. She got the phone call yesterday afternoon and texted me shortly after right before she sent me the invite to go celebrate her admit, lol

I had a phone interview with a member of the adcom. She also told me that Cornell is in the process of swithching to rolling admission.

That's interesting. I wonder if they think their yield will improve after transitioning to rolling admissions.

On a different note, I have a feeling that most of the calls will go out next week, but good luck to everybody hoping to get a call this week. :)

Wow..hearty congratulations to her..If they are informing people by phone, then I will sleep with my phone on "Loud" mode..It'd be funny (in a weird way) to be woken up in the middle of the night (due to the time difference between India and the USA) and told that you've been admitted :)

Having gone through this process for almost a full calendar year, I would never ever prank call another applicant like that. Kudos to you for not reacting negatively. :)

I'm not sure about yield, but I definitely think it could marginally increase application volume. Especially in Round 1, which I'm sure the adcomm would love. I'm a personal fan of schools using their application process as a means of differentiation. Columbia and Duke have their EA rounds, Darden just moved up their decision date by a few weeks and is way ahead of Ross. I don't see anybody losing in this scenario.

This quasi-rolling timeline at Johnson is kind of torturous so far, however.

Come to think of it, you're right. More people would try to apply earlier to boost their chances of getting in. On the flip side, those who would normally wait until Round 2, which is between the top schools' R1 submission deadline and R1 decision release deadline, could push their submission date to after they hear back from the top schools. Therefore, those who end up getting into the top schools could skip submitting to Johnson altogether.

Good luck, LionsSBC12! I'm rooting for you. If anything, I'd be shocked if they haven't already decided to accept you.

Congrats, Zilla! If you don't mind, can you please update your profile so that the data board reflects your admit. Thanks! :)

Sorry, dude. As much as I would like to ask you to be more optimistic, it is getting very close to the decision release date. In any case, good luck!
