we are looking for a candidate who is unique, motivated, and more. During the application, you should be able to highlight your experience, academic performance, and more. We want someone who understands our program and is a good fit. - Eddie Asbie, Associate Director of Admissions and Financial Aid at Cornell. We look at your application holistically. While a weak undergraduate record can be a concern, we do look at your work experience and standardized scores as well. In the end, your application will be reviewed along with all other applications in the round. The stronger your application is overall the better. - Kim Szpiro, Assistant Director of Admissions and Financial Aid at Cornell. I chose Cornell for a few reasons. Firstly, I knew that a large part of the MBA experience was learning from your classmates and so to get the richest experience I'd want the most diverse class. I felt that Cornell offered the most diverse class between my choices. Secondly, I enjoy outdoor activities and Ithaca offers a great variety of fun activities to keep me active outside of the classroom. Lastly, from a personal point. My wife could not relocate with me to Ithaca and so we'll have to travel back and forth from each other's locations. She'll remain in the NYC area and so frequent trips back and forth from Ithaca were much easier than my other option (Tepper) - David, Current first year at Cornell Download full Cornell chat transcript here.. calling-all-johnson-cornell-applicants-2016-intake-class-of-200239-20.html#p1572119

Thank you!! Does anyone know if they're still going to do the Super Saturday Interview Day???

Also had my status change to "schedule interview".. So excited !!! Good luck everyone!

My status changed, too!! Pumped. Good luck everyone, and congrats to those who were invited!

Thanks for looking into this for all of us! BTW, Zatopek was an awesome runner. Good name.

I'm very pleased someone gets the reference. Zatopek was an awesome runner and an even better human being. I'm glad at least 2 people on GMAT Club have heard of him. And happy to look into that status thing. I was pretty curious/impatient myself.

My status changed to "Schedule interview" as well! All the best to everyone!

Does anyone know the chances of acceptance post-interview? Also bumping my question on the Super Saturday interview. Does anyone know if they'll still be doing that? Good luck everyone!

very good question, I am curious too about the chances of acceptance post an interview. May be dtse86 could shed some light. Thanks What exactly is the Super Saturday interview? I haven't heard anything about it yet.

I think it's just an option to do your interview on a Saturday as opposed to during the week. You do miss out on doing things like seeing a class, but for someone with my schedule who can't make it to Ithaca during the week it's pretty clutch . I believe they did it once last year.
