Really proud of you. Our stories are very similar, even our backgrounds are. Cornell is a great school I must say and something tells me that they are lucky to have you as a student.

Hey, I remember reading something about geographical allotment of Johnson Applications in Poets & Quants.

The article: https://poetsandquants.com/2012/11/15/th ... anagement/
Summary: Quick interview of Christine Sneva (director of admissions-Johnson's) regarding the Admission Process.

At the bottom of page 3, She responds to a question posed by John A. Byrne:

"So what happens to an application once you get it?

Our first step is to say thank you and then it goes to queues based on regions covered by our staff. Anne Richards gets Latin America and most of Asia. I with Eddie take on North America which is the biggest chunk of our applicant pool. Charli is taking Europe, the Middle East, Africa and India. And we have three or four readers who swing in to back up the big markets. India and China need backups, and so does the U.S."-Christine Sneva.

So I'm guessing Charli is pretty backed up by the multitude of applicants from her assigned region, hence the delay (I think).

Pretty interesting read nonetheless. Hope that answers your query.

Regards,

In case you haven't seen it, a good blog post about interviewing at Johnson:

Just received an interview invite!!

Indian female applicant, residing in US. IT background.

They strongly recommend on-campus interview. If I schedule the interview post Feb 5th because this is a very short notice, my decision will be given out later.
Do not lose hope people. I think they mean it when they say interview invites will go out until Feb 4th.

I was feeling most miserable this morning and had lost all confidence. Cannot say how much this boosts my confidence.

First update from R1 on here was at 1:22pm EST by mghill.

In! got the call today.

i guess admitted students weekend is next week...quick turnaround to get to ithaca. pretty excited and a great way to end a friday
