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

Did anybody submit their TOC as a video? Has it gotten any views? Mine has been 0 views for the past month so I'm wondering if it's time to call to ask if something is amiss.

I somehow got the feeling that they view the essays for TOC after the interviews... They didn't seem to have viewed my TOC essay before the interview. Hope it helps.

Do you mind sharing your stats and profile??

FWIW My youtube video received a few views, before my interview invite

Thanks... Didnt mean to generalize it ... I just had this nagging feeling that they didnt check my TOC during my interview.

GMAT - 700 Exp - 4 years Function - R&D (Manufacturing). Extra Curriculars - Decent Graduate and undergraduate - IIT (Gold Medalist) Have few publications and patents. God knows what they want!!!!
