Calling all Cornell 2008 applicants

did anyone get an interview from cornell so far, if not could anyone shed some light on when they are likely to call in for interviews.

Has anyone attended an info session for the Park Leadership Fellows Program? Were you able to find a good amount of info about Johnson & not just the fellows program? Thanks.

Just got an email from Cornell. My app is still "received," but my gmat is verified and my recommendations are received.

When did you submit?

10/10 around 1230am

my current status -

file under review

scores are verified, recommendations received

I didnt know that Cornell is already sending out iinterview invites!!!!

Its been about 2 weeks since deadline...

neways.. I am totally jaded to interview invites.. after my CBS fiasco.. i stopped opening emails or checking app status

I didn't know either. Where did you hear invites went out?

I thought this meant that others were getting interview invites...
sorry if I misunderstood you.

Chat now on accepted with Randall Sawyer and Kim Vaughan.

I can never connect to these things...

Can someone save a transcript of the chat? I know they post these chats a week later, but I can't wait a week.

You don't have to post the chat on here... we can PM the people that want to see the chat.

no no, please do post it here, I will sticky it, at least temporarily.

Posting it would be great, but that might violate some copyright rules....

OK. I am posting few important points that I gleaned from the chat.

Application volumes up 35%
Target average GMAT score is 690-700 for the school
Use optional essay if you feel you can show a different facet of your personality
GMAT/TOEFL is important. Q less than 60% is frowned upon
50% of applicants will be interviewed and 50% out of those will be admitted
Eveyone in the accelerated MBA class of 2007 got up with an offer. Class of 2007 average salary:98000, bonus:24000
All apps are 1st read by a student reviewer who grades it. It is then read twice by the folks in the admissions committee
On-campus interview is recommended for applicants within the US

avi, mba2010 - Please feel free to add or correct.

"app. volumes up 35%" ......WOW

Guess this is going to be one insane app season....

Wow. That's acutally a lot of useful info in there. Usually they keep it so PC.

I'm surprised they said they're targeting a GMAT score.

Did they say what GPA they are aiming for?

I think they kinda blurted that out without realizing what they are saying. When 1 audience member asked why, they used the H word.

As far as the optional essay, I'm not sure what is "allowed" there.

It doesn't explicitly say it should only be used to explain low GMAT or GPA, etc..., does that mean it is ok to use it to write about a unique extra curricular that says a lot about your personality? Both their essays are "work" related, so I hate that I don't have the opportunity to write about this outside work activity.
