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

Guys I am an international student and I am interviewing through skype on April 4th. After the interview how long to receive final decision? And most importantly, if I receive a decision lets say 2 weeks later, is there enough time to issue a student visa (cornell starts on the 16th of May this year)? I will barely have 1 month to issue the visa...

I have applied to Cornell in their round 4 of the application. Just wanted to see if there are any other round 4 applicants here. What do you guys think the chances are of getting admission in this round?

On forum tables only 2 applicants applying in R4 but I am sure the figure must be greater. Good luck!!

I interviewed last week and my status was just changed to "under review". Best of luck to everyone awaiting their decisions!

Are you applying for the one year program? Because no way the 2 year starts on May 16th.

What's everybody's opinion on Johnson's grades disclosure policy? (aka no GND policy)

Interviewed on campus on the 23rd with an AO and Ann Richards both. Status changed to Under Review the next day, waiting to hear back!

Had my interview today. Thought it was a little tricky, but I hope I made a positive enough impression that I will hear a good result from them soon. The tricky question for me was what would I do if my plan A job after MBA didn't go to plan. Anyway, I'm going to go back next week to visit campus because it was spring break and I didn't see any classes. Hoping for a good result!
