I was accepted in R2 and could not write a detailed response as did not have Internet access for a while.
Well, I am in the accelerated MBA program of Cornell with $0 scholarship (I am in the waitlist for scholarship) I am planning on depositing $1,500 to be enrolled in the program but also keeping my fingers crossed for some scholarship.
Anyhow, details about me: 28 years old male, telecom engineer with 4 years of experience
Master's degree in Telecom (made the application for the Accelerated MBA possible)
GMAT: 700
Some extra curricular activities
Got dinged from Kellogg.
I believe that the strong points of my application was the coherence between my recommendations and essays. (one of my recommender sent me a copy of the recommendation and it was very much in line with my essays). I went over the essays with one of my co workers. That helped me to meet the specific length.
Interview went well (thanks to all who posted their interview experiences). The only interesting question was: If you were to tell only three adjectives about yourself to the admission committee, what would they be?
Even though, the school has not started yet, 2 current Accelerated MBA students already contacted me and offered me help from finding student clubs to meeting with possible recruiters.
Well, we'll see what the future will bring.
