Calling all Cornell Johnson MBA Applicants: 2024 Intake Class of 2026

"The Admissions Committee has completed a preliminary review of your application materials and is pleased to invite you to register for LEAD as the next step in the admissions process.

As we review applicants for the Roy H. Park Leadership Fellowship, we invite you to join us during our virtual Johnson L.E.A.D. (Leadership Exploration and Assessment Day) event on March 29.

Johnson L.E.A.D. events have been carefully designed to create immersive opportunities for us to get to know you better. You will have the opportunity to reflect on your leadership style through a series of team building activities and challenges. Throughout your time at LEAD, you will engage with premier faculty, leaders within the Cornell administration, and our exceptional student community. We want you to understand first-hand what it means to be a leader at Cornell.

As a component of these events, candidates will learn about the various scholarship funding awards available to admitted students. Please note - candidates who wish to be considered for the Park Leadership Fellows Program must submit a Park essay and participate in the entirety of a Johnson L.E.A.D. event.

Please submit your response to the following essay question to Chelsea Hann (ch785@cornell.edu) by 5:00 PM EST on Friday, March 22. (please limit your essay to 500 words or fewer):

Describe a past formal or informal leadership experience and how it informs your goals for growth as a leader. How would the Park Leadership Fellowship assist with these goals?

Please confirm your attendance at the Johnson L.E.A.D event by completing the below online registration form. We ask that you respond to this invitation no later than 5:00 PM on Friday, March 22.

Sincerely,

The Cornell MBA Admissions Team"

I’ll be at the same LEAD event on the 29th - Have you (or anyone) gotten a confirmation? I didn’t get a confirmation after I registered nor have I received the actual invite for the event. Also I submitted my Park application essay yesterday and haven’t gotten anything back on that end either.

Is the LEAD event invite only?

Received an email with the scholarship today, exactly 2weeks from my interview!
