so after their maintenance I wasn’t able to access my application anymore it was showing as "closed" but now I can see my waitlist decisions and it Is open again.

Yes, the same for me. There is also a possibility that they won’t send a rejection either and just lock the application again.

Hi, the Johnson strategy session is cancelled. If you had registered for the session, you should have received an e-mail this morning. It was cancelled due to unavailability of admissions expert.

*IMPORTANT REMINDER*

If any international candidates are applying to Cornell Tech MBA program, pay attention to this requirement:

"Cornell Tech requires that transcripts from colleges and universities outside the U.S. and Canada undergo a course-by-course analysis by an expert academic credential evaluator in the United States. Students are responsible for paying all fees for such evaluations and making arrangements with the credential evaluation company to send and receive their documents. Cornell Tech will accept evaluations from Scholaro, World Education Services (WES), Educational Credential Evaluators (ECE), SpanTran, or any NACES organization member. If you are using the service of a credential evaluator that has the capability to send the credentials evaluation electronically, please instruct them to send it to [email protected]. Note: The admissions committee requires this evaluation prior to reviewing your application for an admissions decision."

Hi everyone. Just wanted to know if Cornell Johnson Graduate School of Management accepts applications from candidates who are willing to pursue a second mba i.e. they already hold a MBA from a reputed business school of their country. In my case, I am an old IIM graduate from India and have post MBA workex of 2 years with a major global investment bank.

I think they’ll accept (since IIM doesn’t technically give an MBA) but you ll be at a disadvantage because adcom usually doesn’t prefer those who have already done mba before especially if u have just done it 2 years back. Try Kellogg one year program....it is meant for those who have already taken similar courses.

Hi All, I have scored GMAT 720 (Q49 V40 IR3), have 4 years Work Ex and am an Indian male. Would you suggest to retake the GMAT or do I have a good chance of admission in Cornell? Any advice would be much appreciated

Here’s something I was talking about- johnson.cornell.edu/for-recruiters/class-profiles/

Look at the %ge of international students in the two year vs one year program. Observe the GMAT score, students enrolled and the years of experience. It points in a certain direction. If you’re taking GMAT, you should be able to make sense of these numbers and turn them into reason

iampancham21

What should be the Target GRE SCORE?

I usually suggest using the ETS conversion tool to convert the respective GMAT Scores to GRE . Usually 2-3 points less still works but if you’re trying to maximize the odds, always on the upper spectrum.

Do you think that for Johnson specifically, if the GRE score is well above average, that the GRE is as valid and acceptable as the GMAT when it comes to male Indian candidates?

Thank you very much!

Just a quick reminder post if it helps anyone : There is an Ask admissions event tommorow, which if you attend you get a fee waiver. Here’s the link : https://cornell.zoom.us/webinar/registe ... gistration

It is. I believe you should take the test where you can score highest possible score. Thanks to the ETS tool, you can even convert that and see what the equivalent looks like.
