Question for R1 Park qualifiers: Did Clint Sidle interview you?


No. I was interviewed by a second year.

This is the Park Finalist weekend. From talking to the other finalists, there is no interview pattern.


Thanks! Good to know.

Does the interviewer read the whole application or does he/she only read the resume?

For those that received interview invites, how did you all find out the name of the interviewer?



They have your resume and the notes taken by your initial application reviewer. My application manager emailed me the name of my interviewer when I scheduled it.

I must have clarified a bit. It's meant as a professional deception.
It's a typical "failure" question. Many schools have it in their essays.
You can choose a team failure or a personal failure. I went with a team failure for this interview since he did not specify. I think the important part is to say that you learned something from this failure.

Hi folks,

I have my interview this coming saturday, getting anxious already! :)
One question: are Cornell interviews blind or did the interviewer read your application beforehand?

Thanks!

I have a question for anyone who submitted their Park essay after they submitted the MBA application..... Did you send a copy of the essay to your Application Manager?

All the JGSM interviews are blind. They only have a resume a feedback from the reviewer.

You should definitely expect to answer any questions from your resume, such as a gap in your work history etc.

You will also get the basic questions (why MBA? why now? Why Cornell? Strength? Weaknesses? Leadership?)

Any ideas when the Jan 12 applicants will start to see some action? When do you think our apps will go under review?

Cheers.

I don't think R2 even had any invites until R1 decisions were made.

Dont bother about the application. It is too early. For me my application did not go under review until five weeks after the R2 deadline and then it took another four weeks for to get an invite. So you are going to need tons of patience.

I submitted my application on Jan 12 (R3) and I received an interview invite today.

I have a question... Should I send adcom an update letter before/after/during my interview? or not at all? I have some pretty significant updates from the last few weeks and I want to make sure it gets added to my file.

Thanks guys!
