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 am a R3 applicant and just interviewed on campus this past week. I spoke with an AdCom and they acknowledged that their pacing for R2 was slow, but have been working at a much better rate for R3. That said, there was another applicant who was also visiting campus last week and received his interview invite while he was visiting (good timing). He scheduled for early this week. Given that there has been some administrative lag due to the formation of the new College of Business and the fact that Admissions seems to be a bit understaffed, try to remain patient. The AdCom members I met were all very gracious people, in spite of a stressful season, and seem to be working very hard.

Hopefully, this information is useful. Best of luck to all of us.

I'm an R3 applicant and I still haven't heard back either. The application portal hasn't been updated since early Feb when they asked me to submit a GMAT score report and then it switched to Under Review.

Yes! This exact thing happened to me. My status changed to "Schedule Interview" and I waited patiently for about a week for an email that never came. I reached out to the admissions dept and they tried multiple times to make the system send me an invitation email so I could schedule an interview but it never came. After a couple weeks of trying to figure this out I finally just had to schedule an interview over the phone. From talking with someone in the admissions dept it sounds like the application system is new this year so it may have just been a glitch in the new system, and maybe that is what is happening to you too. Wait a day or so and if you don't get an email, reach out to admissions and see if you can schedule an interview a different way.

Best of luck!

I interviewed at Johnson on 2/19 but still haven't heard anything. My application still says "under review." Also, I'm a CGSM applicant.

Any idea what this means?? It seems like most people are hearing back pretty fast. Kind of freaking out over here.
