Hey unit157, thank you for your post. By any chance, were you interviewed by Kate C******y??

Good morning all --- what a great start to the week. I just received my Johnson interview invitation!! Almost lost hope on it since my application went under review on 10/2X/2011. I guess whoever still hasn't received your interview please keep your head up. It will probably come very soon!!! By the way, does anyone think flying to Ithaca actually makes a difference for Cornell? I know many consultants, etc said it doesn't make a difference. But I want other people's two-cents??

It might depend on where you are in the US. I visited in October before applying. On a certain level, it shows you're serious. At the same time, I think they understand people's work schedules might not allow for it depending on where you live. In my conversations with Admissions Consultants, they identified Johnson as "one of three schools that can be seduced. Since they are remote along with Tuck and Darden, they will notice that you actually came to see them. A lot of people are allocating their efforts toward H/S/W. Those are actually the schools you don't need to visit because they assume your desire to attend is already very high. Their yields support that. Visiting a lower ranked school, even if it's Fuqua which is close to Raleigh-Durham, can do nothing, but help you."

I spoke to a Johnson alum recently who emphasized that travelling to campus for the interview definitely makes you look good in the eyes of the adcom. I live in Seattle, WA and am definitely planning on flying out if I eventually get an invite.

If you live in the US, it is strongly encouraged to visit the school for interviews. In fact, not doing so (along with not doing a campus visit earlier) might just count against you. Only for the international applicants, it is considered fine to have an alum interview as not everyone can get a visa in such a short time.

Thanks for the hints, everyone. Very helpful!! I am now working on the logistics of my trip to Ithaca. Fingers crossed!!! Best of luck to all those awaiting Johnson invites/still applying!

I too received my invite last night. The email only mentions "on-campus" interview within "next 2 weeks". The logistics seem impractical this time of the year. Will call them tomorrow to pitch for an alumnus interview. Not too keen on a phone/Skype interview.

I just wanted to quickly check the status of my app and it says that my application is complete for final review by the selection committee. If they're done reviewing, why can't they just tell me already

Maybe they're not finished reviewing your application yet. Based on last year's thread, R1 deadline was on Tues, 10/5. The decision deadline was Mon, 12/20, but the calls started on Thurs, 12/16. The R1 deadline this year was Wed, 10/12, and the decision deadline is Tues, 12/20. I am thinking that the calls will start going out on Thurs, 12/15.
