Johnson (Cornell) Class of 2017 Calling all applicants

Got a call 9:30 AM Asia time....what a long day for me

I understand international students may get the calls at weird times, but I don't understand why the calls aren't more evenly distributed. There was an influx of calls yesterday at 1 pm, then very little, then more around 6 pm, and now you're telling me they make calls today as well? This is torturous!

I know it is very tough... I've been there. Actually, as far as I am concerned, they are supposed to make the calls today but as it would be impossible to complete them all in one day, they start the previous day (that was yesterday) - but that's just my personal opinion. The reason they don't make the calls evenly distributed is unknown to me but I believe it must be a good one.

Thanks for your optimism. While I know working in admissions must be stressful and hectic, does it really take several days to make 150 three-minute phone calls? I figured if that's split between 4 separate people it shouldn't take too long, but perhaps I'm overthinking. You are a current Johnson student?

Nope. I had to defer one year so I'll be in this class

May I ask what were the terms of your deferment? Feel free to pm me if you don't want to discuss openly. Thanks in advance

I think the only reason behind all these is to make the event as "special" as possible.

35 minutes until decisions posted!!

Keep your heads up and your hopes high until then!!

Any Indian applicants received calls in the past few hours?

Anything anybody?

Got an email saying a decision was posted.

Admitted! Through account

Admitted! Through account

Waitlisted

DING!
If you feel very upset just try to convince yourself that it was not your top choice school.
Using this trick I feel myself much better

Congrats to those who got admitted! :D

Got waitlisted. Applied last year and got waitlisted then. This year applied to five schools. Dinged at two, waitlisted at three. My epic waitlist journey begins, again.
