Hi,
My profile is now updated as wait-listed.
"The Admissions Committee has completed a comprehensive review of your application
materials and would like to offer you a place on the Two-year Ithaca MBA program waitlist.
We recognize potential within your application and encourage you to take an active role in
strengthening your candidacy.
At Johnson, we evaluate your application holistically, via an academic, professional, and
individual lens. Throughout the coming weeks, you are encouraged to review your
application in its entirety and identify areas in which it might be further developed. For
additional context in identifying areas for application improvement, please refer to our
admitted student profile."


I am not sure what can be done in next 1-1.5 months to improve my profile. My GMAT score is 710 and when compared to Asian students, it is a bit low.
Is it worth preparing and taking a shot in this short time frame?
When can we expect to hear back from AdCom and any idea what are the realistic chances of converting this into an admit?

Any advice would help me.

Wanted to share an update from my on campus interview I had last week.

I interviewed with a member of the adcom. The interview was conversational in nature, and semi-blind. The interviewer had not read my application but, of course others had, and had the interviewer ask questions.

The interviewer ran through basic interview questions such as:
• Why an MBA now?
• Tell me about yourself
• What is a weakness of yours?
• Why Johnson? How can Johnson help you achieve your goals?
• What co you consider your greatest achievement?

She also asked other more specific / wild-card questions such as:
• What other schools are you applying to and why? What are the connections between those schools?
• What are the two strongest parts of your application?
• If I had to condense my interview into 3 bullet points, what would those bullet points be?

Overall, these questions lasted ~35 minutes. We then spent 5-10 minutes discussing some questions I had about the program.

She also said that this is the busiest time of the year, and to expect a response within 2-3 weeks.

I'm getting extremely anxious now. It's been a while after my interview but still haven't heard anything. I saw people getting result back in a week after interview.. for me it's been 2 weeks. not sure if it's a bad sign but thought I did pretty well during interview. I applied for r2 and decision deadline is next Tuesday. getting so paranoid. not sure if anybody out there has similar situation.

Hey-- I was in a similar boat. I interviewed on 2/19 and just heard back that I was waitlisted today. I was freaked out that everyone else was finding out so early (even dings and WL) so I like to imagine that they really spent time considering my application and rendering a decision.

Hope this helps. Good luck!

I just got one as well! But mine was just a status change. Do you know how to schedule one? Also, is it to late to do a campus visit and interview on campus?

Hi Guys,

I just received an email indicating that a decision had been made. I logged in to find that I was accepted. I couldn't be more happier, especially given their turnaround time of 1 working day to release my decision. For the advantage of fellow applicants, I am posting my admissions timeline below. However, I would like to know if the applicants who have received the scholarship were intimated about the same along with the decision letter? As my letter does not happen to mention anything about scholarship.

Program Applied: 1 YR Ithaca MBA, January Round
Interview Date: 3rd March
Decision Date: 7th March

Thanks

My acceptance letter for the 2-year MBA mentioned the scholarship amount I was awarded. Not sure if that's different for the 1-year MBA program.
