I also received an interview invite yesterday. Good luck to those still waiting!
Does anyone have any tips/stories from their interview (questions, settings, format, etc)?
Hi, I interviewed with a recent alum who had worked in the admissions department as a student and is now living in my area (SF Bay Area). It was a fairly friendly and casual interview in a conference room in his office (it was on a Saturday so it wasn't very crowded). The questions were very similar to the ones posted on the clearadmit page (can't post links but googling "johnson MBA interview questions" will get it) with a few (paraphrased) extras: "How would your friends describe you in 3 words", "Have you ever worked on something with a team and given up", and "why round 4". I strongly suggest reading the clearadmit page because it prepared me quite well.
They definitely asked whether I'd reached out to a current student and how Cornell fit with the rest of the schools I'm applying to. Good luck on your interview!
