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

I'm confused about my status as well now. I'm not British but I did my undergraduate from the UK but its more than 5 years old. Honestly this is a joke. None of the schools have asked me for TOEFL because I did a four years degree in England, the birth place of English. I shouldn't have to prove my English language skills. This is ridiculous.

Hello! The questions says: "...Alternative submission formats may include a slide presentation, links to pre-existing media (personal website, digital portfolio, YouTube etc.), as well as visually enhanced written submissions." Knowing that you can only insert text or upload a file and after reading that question, I'd be confident if I were to write a link in the text box. I'd say it's highly likely that they'll check it out!

I just submitted my application for Round 1! Good luck everyone!

Thanks a lot Kheown for all the help and suggestions , really appreciate! All the best for your application!

Are we able to see a PDF preview of our entire application before we hit submit?

Hi, I couldn't find a PDF preview of the application throughout the whole process. Certainly something I missed before clicking on submit...

Can someone tell me once you click the submit button, what are the next steps? Also any glitches faced with submission so far? Thanks

You can review your application on the same website, but are not able to make any changes. It's not a pdf or a summarized version, it's exactly the same application website but editing is disabled. Yesterday's application status: submitted Today's application status: under review Now I can only wait and hope they find my profile interesting enough to invite me to interview! BTW, my submission was flawless. Hope someone else joins in and comments on theirs!
