My Cornell Johnson interviewer not only had a background at the Entrepreneurship and Innovation institute, but also season tickets a local minor sports franchise. She asked:
(1) Talk me through your career progression.
(2) Tell me more about your two start-up businesses.
(3) Tell me a time you had you a great idea, but nobody else agreed.
(4) Tell me about a teamwork example.
(5) Where else are you applying?
(6) What is your most prominent leadership role?
(7) What do your two years look at? What immersion? What student groups?
(8) What’s a time you did something uncharacteristic you?
(9) Have you been to Cornell before?
Even with a quantitative GMAT score of 49, I found converting Ithaca’s local Eastern Time into a time in my own local area time zone the most challenging aspect of the interview. No joke...
