Jealous of the swag bag! I'm guessing I didn't get that since I'm only in the 1-year program. The acceptance is enough for me, though! I paid the deposit right away and RSVPed for Accelerate Johnson, but haven't gotten any emails about the application verification yet.

I would recommend lining up housing early - it's an expensive and limited market. And the fact that the AMBA starts before Cornell graduation makes it near impossible to find reasonable housing in May. I signed a lease at the Six Mile Lofts since I wanted something similar to my current place and already have my own furniture, but the lease is June to June, in accordance with the school year. I'm hoping I can connect with some of the students I stayed with during JWiB to see if anyone will let me rent their couch for a month until my apartment is available.

When does everyone start looking at housing? Is it at Destination Johnson(April 20th - 22nd)?

Got admitted to the 1 year MBA program yesterday. Received Scholarship as well. Are there any other scholarships I(Female, Indian) could look for ?

Pillarsofcreation · Answer

I am also in. Got my acceptance mail on 1st of Feb. Indian male currently in Bangalore.

Did you guys receive the scholarship email with the acceptance mail or was it a different email?

DreamyEyed · Answer

Congratulations!

The scholarship was mentioned in the decision letter, itself. Did not receive a separate mail.

Pillarsofcreation · Answer

I think I have not received the decision letter that you're talking about. I've only received a congratulations mail in which it is mentioned that

"You should receive an email very shortly with your official offer of admission and additional details regarding next steps to enrollment."

Did you guys get the scholarship in the first mail or was there a second email with the decision letter?

DreamyEyed · Answer

After that first mail, I received an email about the admissions decision (to be checked on the portal). The decision letter on the portal had the scholarship details mentioned.

Pillarsofcreation · Answer

Did anyone of you start with the Re Vera background check? Have you gathered any information on how its supposed to go?

Hi, I have completed my interview for 1 year MBA. Now the status is changed from 'Schedule Interview' to 'Under Review'. Does it mean anything in negative? I mean for selected students, is it changed to selected? Can someone who had a similar experience update me please?

My Apologies for asking this in an admit group.

mspmet · Answer

Hi, My status remained under review after my interview for at least 11 days. On the 12th day, I received my admit. So, I think Under Review does not means negative or positive. It is just that you are 'Under Review'
