No full time work ex?

I thought minimum 3-4 full time work ex was a pre-requisite

3-4 years of*

5 out of the seven of us worked full time all four years.

Two of us work at crypto startups based in NYC that have notable Cornell alum and professors.

One of us works at Google in product for VR.

One works as a quantitative trader in the Bay for a startup.

And the other has been working at his family’s biotech company as a partnerships associate.

I guess they just don’t consider that as credible work experience 🤷🏽

Not sure. When I talked to some alums , they did mention that some people with really good profiles got interview just for formality. That they were already selected. So you do have chanced I would say.

Hope they didn’t read this and then start rethinking 😅

Of course not. I don’t believe they’d be unprofessional about this.

Which sucks because we all wanted to pursue Cornell tech and have friendship squad energy going into grad school, but I guess we can’t always get what we need 🫠

I’m pretty sure they take into account age but they can’t say that because it’s a form of discrimination

Personally, I don’t know all of their lists but I know that most of them applied to T10s.

I went another route and applied to Masters in Management programs:

Dartmouth
Georgetown
Columbia
Cambridge
Northwestern
NYU
Stanford

Are you referring to sending in official transcripts? If so yes or else the apps wouldn’t be complete. Our transcripts give a link to each course description listed as well so if they needed more context into curriculum it’s all there.

Sorry unofficial transcripts is their policy I believe but we all submitted our official transcripts anyway because it was free.

Unfortunately, even though I have 4 years of full time work experience, I’m still an undergrad. MBA programs don’t look at 22 year olds very often, even with a stellar background professionally and academically which I think is still especially in this day and age.

However, some MiM programs (specially the ones I’m applying to) have deferral programs to their MBA programs if you graduate in the top 25% of their MiM class (which is typically small) i.e., Kellogg.

Yes, we’re all from the US.

Yes correct. Even though as long as all the experiences checks out it shouldn’t matter because these were legitimate positions, not like internships or something like that.
