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

Has anyone received any information on how to make the initial payment of $3000 to accept the offer? I see the deadlines posted on their website but no information on the channel of payment.

Thanks.

This means that your interview would be scheduled soon. You would get an email to set up things, not through portal, as you tried. Additionally, for now, the adcoms are out(Christmas plus new year holidays) , I believe till the 3rd of Jan, so I wouldn't expect progress till then, although they may be intermittently answering emails. Further, after having this status change, it took around 4 working days for the email to arrive, for me, for the interview setup, just letting you know to set expectations on those lines.

congrats on the interview invite too!

I checked the link to pay, and it goes on to payment through credit card. So that's the option available to pay the $3k, that I figured.

I am a reapplicant to Johnson. Do I have to write all the essays or just the reapplicant essay?

Writing 2 different TOC essays in really tough!

I am in!

Indian applicant. Had my interview on 10th December with an Adcom. Received the decision through phone call and email on 24th December. I am on the waitlist for scholarship.

Is there any other Indian applicant who has been offered?

Yes sir! 1-year program admitted, no schol. You into 1-year or 2-year course?

2-year.

Can you elaborate on your profile?

Dear All,

Congratulations to all who have been accepted and all the very best to those who are waiting for a decision.

I am an Indian Applicant. I have applied in Round 2 for the one year Ithaca program. Johnson is one of my top choices. I still have not received any interview invite.

1. Though I have been in touch with the ad-com for quite some time to check the eligibility for 1 year MBA, I opened the account and started my application on 11th Nov (17th Nov was the deadline).
2. I submitted the application just 5-6 hours before the deadline.I have submitted a great application to the best of my ability.
3. My original recommender could not complete the recommendation due to some personal emergency. I registered the 2nd recommender ( my indirect supervisor) on 17th only and she managed to submit her recommendation a couple of hours before the deadline. I am 100% sure that she submitted a great recommendation.

Could anybody please throw some light whether my chances will be negatively affected due to the last minute submission ?

Thank you very much in advance for the help.

Wish you all a very happy new year.

As long as you submitted prior to the deadline you should not be negatively impacted. I'm sure many other people cut it closer to the deadline

No update yet. Still under review. It was a holiday period, the admissions office should be back in - so this should change shortly.

Upon checking MBA Livewire, there aren't any updates either.
