Hi

Has Johnson released Essays for 1Y MBA Program ?

On the portal it says that this will be open on 1st Aug'18 but clearadmit has mentioned the essays for 2019-20/21. (https://www.clearadmit.com/2018/06/corn ... estions-2/)

Any confirmation on what are the final essays for Johnson 1Y 2019 Intake ?

Rakshit,

B-schools normally release the essays before opening the application.

Check Cornell's website, the essays are posted there: https://www.johnson.cornell.edu/Program ... quirements

best of luck to everyone!

Please find below the excerpts from a chat session conducted by the Johnson admission committee on Tuesday, 17 July 2018 via zoom (NOT on the forum):

Query 1: Are candidates with a previous MBA degree eligible to apply?
Reply: Yes, candidates are eligible to apply. Please use the optional essay to explain your reasons.

Query 2: How can I connect with the alumni?
Reply: https://www.johnson.cornell.edu/Alumni

Query 3: I am interested in the Cornell Tech MBA program. Looks like there isn't an internship program included. Can you please elaborate on what kind of programs/career sessions do you have to help students finding jobs upon graduation?
Reply: Because of the accelerated nature of the program, there is no internship component; students already have tech experience, so this program is not suitable for someone looking to change careers or learn about tech. Furthermore, the work you do in Studio is comparable to a year-long internship due to the very hands-on and collaborative nature of the curriculum.

Query 4: I had only English as the medium of instruction while pursuing undergrad and post-grad courses. I think I am eligible for TOEFL waiver. How do I apply for that?
Reply: Upon submitting your application simply upload the supporting documentation showing the medium of instruction at your degree granting institution(s) was English and we will verify this.

Thanks for posting this gmatexam439 very helpful info re: tech MBA.

Hi,

Have you started with your essays? Excited to be at Ithaca?

Regards

I have started brainstorming ideas for essays, but I haven’t officially started writing. My GMAT is scheduled for Oct 15, so other than prepping my references, a lot of my app stuff will wait for after. I’m applying trad round of the Consortium, so early January.

Posted from my mobile device

That's great! You would have ample time with you to apply for the school. All the best for your GMAT!

Regards

Is there any similar thread for Tech MBA?
