Yes. Got a random call from 616 number at 3 pm, missed because I was in client meeting. Then received another call at 6 pm which I also missed due to a meeting. Was from Ann Richards (director of financial aid) with the good news. She emailed me right after the call & provided details on the new student web page and of course, congratulated me!

Did you receive an email as well?

Eh, there are people over 40 in just about every MBA class. Who knows if this is the right move for him or not... I doubt any of us have enough information to make an assertion like that...

The interview is key. They gave him an interview, he got over the first hurdle of convincing adcom that an MBA was needed. Coming off unprepared in an interview may have signaled (like that Cobra, using strategy even after the final) that he didn't take Johnson seriously enough. So... why offer someone a spot who doesn't seem to want it, and probably wouldn't accept?

Prepare for interviews... If you aren't ready schedule it later. After all of the effort you put into the application process to get to that point, always put your best foot forward.

Good luck!

I just threw up in my mouth a little bit at the strategy reference. Good thing you didn't mention stats, otherwise I would have to give you a throat punch the next time I see you.

But yeah - interviews shouldn't be done out of convenience. You wouldn't interview for a job in jeans (unless it's Google), so you should treat a B-school interview the same way. First impressions mean something.

Sorry I missed decision day, too busy studying for finals. Congrats to all of the new admits, if you have any questions about Johnson feel free to reach out. A special congrats to Hamm0 and futurebostonmba! I hope to see you both in Ithaca next year!

Thanks! Can't even begin to explain how happy I am. Regretting not visiting Johnson last year as it one of my top 2 schools based purely on fit, academics being obviously beyond great.

Congrats to all the admitted students. It is great to see hamm0 and FutureBostonMBA get in as I know they worked really hard on this app.

Unfortunately, I got dinged, but I will wear the red badge with honor. For those other unlucky souls on this forum, lets use this rejection as motivation for R2 apps (if needed).

Hi,
Indian, Male.. Got an offer

Congratulations to all admits, and good luck to R2/R3 applicants and WL'ed candidates.

I was wondering if anyone has received any information on scholarships offered?

Hehe, round 2 friends. The under review period was much discussed among round 1 applicants a few pages back. The speed of moving to "under review" or how long you are at "under review" means nothing. I was one of the later to be moved to "under review", and had that status for over a month before I received my interview invite. I was accepted last week.

tl;dr under review doesn't mean much!

is it by email or regular mail?

I got a call from Ann Richards from Financial Aid. I believe calls may continue throughout the week as they continue finializing. However, they don't reveal the scholarship amount until after the Scholarship Weekend.

Got the same call. Think it more or less means you'll be interviewing for the Park Fellowship.

My 3rd recommendation was submitted by an ex-colleague just a few days ago.
Going by the admissions blog post last month, I believe we're still in consideration for R2.
"...if you have recommenders struggling to complete the form, you can tell them their final deadline is January 3rd. This gives them a few more weeks and possibly some planned time to write a great letter on your behalf."

guys, make sure you prioritize quality over quantity. Do not rush to meet this deadline if this will affect the quality of your recommendation. Besides, you can always send updates after any deadline.
Good luck everyone!

Generally that makes no difference, but you should check with the adcom to make sure you didn't miss anything in your application.
