Congrats! One of the earlier posts mentions what happens in the first round interview - it's a phone call from Jenna Abbot, the admissions coordinator which lasts 15-20 mins.

Did you get the invite via email? Can you also share your profile please? Thanks!

Received an email saying that my application now is under review. Checked the online application and it actually says 'Under Review'.

Good luck!

No, it was for the in person interview. I think they either waived the phone interview - I've visited the campus in October and have been in touch with a few people ever since, including Jenna, so they have a fair idea of who I am I guess. Or maybe they are just short on time. Did you get an interview invite Drilling?

grandmaster - did you interview already?

I had my 1st round phone interview earlier this week, and was invited to an on-campus second round. Only info I have so far about second is that it will be a panel interview some point in the next 2-3 weeks.

1st round was with Jenna Abbott (Admissions coordinator). We dove straight in and it lasted all of 15 minutes. The questions, in no particular order:
-Tell me about yourself
-How do you keep abreast of tech industry news
-Tell me about a creative solution you devised
-Greatest strengths
-Why Cornell Tech
-Questions for me



PS. After lurking here for 2+ years, I thought it was time I finally contribute to the forum which has given me so much - this is my first post! Hello world :-D


drilling, this is from an earlier post. Good luck with your interview today!

djprithvi - I had my second round directly - basically they skipped me from the first telephonic round with Jenna (probably, because I am already working as a product manager) - Has that happened with other candidates as well (especially if not located in US) ?

And then scheduled a skype with Christine, and it was fairly straight forward, we discussed the case study with a couple of cross questioning, and then moved to standard questions.

Anxiously waiting for the results, considering it such a cool program (one of its kind). Fingers crossed.

I received my invitation to interview for round 2 as well (skipped R1 phone call)!! Congrats to the rest of you :)

Can someone shed light on specifics around the type of case we can expect? For example, (1)Is it a business case where we would provide a consultant's outlook on a company (ex: Improve Profit, Increase Sales etc.)? or (2)Is it a quantitative estimation or analysis exercise?

Thanks for your help!

Hey GMATclubbers, has anyone heard back for CTech R2 yet?

Yesterday was D-Day but I haven't received my decision yet.

I'm also in!

Has anyone from Wave 2 received their Cornell Net ID yet? I submitted my deposit which should've generated one for me, but I'm guessing there's a few days lag?

Thanks in advance!
