I interviewe on 8th
Got a call on 1st of feb, my interviewer (who called) did say over the phone that it is really taking a long time because they have been making direct calls to everyone who got admitted

Just hang in there! Many people i spoke with said the same thing about the long waiting time after the interview

Good Guy Response: You should assume that they won't release a final decision until March

Villain Response: Yes, make the assumption and withdraw your application

In all seriousness they have until March to release a decision and if you take the time to read other posts in this forum you'll see a general theme is that Johnson takes a while to get through all the apps. Be patient

Really starting to feel like it's game over for January applicants who still have not heard ANYTHING back. The only thing I had from them was a request for some additional documents that I submitted weeks ago. I guess it might be time to start seriously planning for other schools...?

There's no need to spread negative thoughts like this. The reality is that the admissions team has until March 15th to give an initial decision, so until then there is no reason to assume anything.

If you have that little confidence in your own application, then maybe withdraw and try again later. Otherwise you can cope with the wait by reading forums and buffing up your own profile in case you're waitlisted or need to reapply in the next cycle.

Hey guys! how were the Round 2 decisions from Cornell? Congrats to whoever's through

I applied in R2 but my application, sent in updated test scores in Jan, but still shows 'under review'? Kalaivani1 was wondering if I can touch base with you and maybe you could guide me on how to take this forward? I could really use some help here!

Apologies for the late reply. Considering you sent them your additional material only in Jan, I guess your application will be processed along with R3 applicants. Mar 15 is the latest by when you should hear about initial notification. So thats another good 3 weeks left. I would say keep checking your portal for any updates. And if you really feel very strongly about it, you could write on top of the email with which you sent your test scores in Jan and just tell them you are just checking in to see if they need any other additional information.

But otherwise, at this point you will have to wait.

Hi all,

Just received a letter that I am admitted to the aMBA program, however, the letter does not mention scholarships. Does that mean that I do not receive any, or this is happening on a different step?

Hi Everyone,

I received a decision today, applied in R2. I have been put on waitlist (without interview). Not sure what can I do to get off waitlist in next few weeks. Only possibility could be retake on GMAT, which I actually already did last week and did not manage to improve scores. My GMAT currently stands at 710 (Q49, V36). I dint expect GMAT to be much of a roadblock given their average at 699.

I am expected to receive a bonus and raise by this month's end because of my good performance at work. Does that qualify as update? I won't get a promotion as I already received one in Sept 2018 and it was reflected in my application.

Hoping to receive few concrete suggestions.

Thanks y'll!

I feel this pay raise and bonus does qualify as an update to the adcom as long as it is not the same annual bonus and hike that everyone receives.
