Congrats to all Cornell Tech MBA Class of 2018 admits:
inkpepper, DrumStudy, majorseventh, watchmyreplay, Cessna, STEMBusiness, gkchat and to the many more out there who have been lurkers up to this point, but who probably have just as many questions on what they need to do over the coming months.
Since May is fast approaching, and there's lots of things to figure out before moving to Ithaca, I figured we could use a dedicated thread. Plus, I'm not sure if JConnect is the right place for this.
