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

Congrats! Welcome to the admitted to 1Y camp

Any update on R2 interview invites for Indian applicants? I only know of 1 Indian applicant (GMAT 760) who received an interview invite in Dec for R2.

1 Month to the initial notification deadline! Getting anxious! Some comfort in the fact that so few have heard back yet - Guess Adcom is still going through most of the applications...

Did people receive automated emails that a recommendation has been submitted? Both my recommenders say they have submitted but i have not received an email. A little anxious about this.

I received automated emails when my recommenders submitted their recommendations.

Thanks Ankit for the information. My recommender confirmed again. So i am going with their word. Also does anyone know what time is the final submission for the application?
