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

is there any point of applying in R4?? are there any more seats available?

A quick question to those who have already interviewed. If you're based in the US, has anyone interviewed with an Alumni? based on the responses so far my understanding is either you go to Ithaca or do Skype. But has anyone done an interview with Alumni. say for example you're in Houston, and you couldn't fly in and you don't want to do a Skype. Did Johnson allow you to interview with an Alumni in your geographic area? Thank you.

Has anyone received R3 interview invites yet?

Round 2: Application Deadline: November 17, 2015 Initial Notification: February 15, 2016 Deposit Due: March 25, 2016 Round 3: Application Deadline: January 15, 2016 Initial Notification: March 15, 2016 Deposit Due: April 25, 2016 https://blog.clearadmit.com/2015/07/corn ... 2015-2016/

I applied to Johnson through the Consortium, whose deadline coincides w/ Johnson's R3 deadline. I received an interview invite + LEAD weekend invite last wednesday, for 4-5Feb

If they didn't have seats they wouldn't have a R4. If you can present a good reason as to why you waited until R4 to apply, and you have a good profile, you definitely have a shot.

Johnson does not offer interviews with alums. If you are really interested in Johnson and you do receive an interview invite, you should come to Ithaca.
