Hi Any R2 applicants waitlisted after interview?
I see that they said the decision are made on rolling basis. So will they review the app again with R3 applicants?
they are willing to accept any new information. Any one waitlisted after interview, please send a PM to me.

thanks.

Got my interview invite on 3/1...now trying to figure out flight options. For those that flew into NYC and drove up to Ithaca, how was it?

Got my interview invite on 3/1...now trying to figure out flight options. For those that flew into NYC and drove up to Ithaca, how was it?

It wasn't too bad, I probably saved 200$ by doing it, and it gave me 4 hours of driving each way to talk to myself, listen to podcasts, ask myself interview questions and gave me the chance to visit NYC for the weekend, which was nice.
There wasn't any snow while i was driving, so that made it easy, a bad storm might change your opinion completely though if you aren't accustomed to driving in the snowpocalypse.
the scenery is pretty ugly in the winter, but i drove up at night and didn't even notice.
having a car in Ithaca was nice to see some of the lake and waterfall and visit campus quickly (and warmly), but some hotels have shuttles if you want to save the time and fly right in.

i also found that flights into NYC were much more frequent and easier to fit to your itinerary (i.e. i spent 4 hours driving instead of a 3 hour layover, and i got to leave ithaca when i wanted, rather than wait for a scheduled flight) so comparing time spent/saved, it wasn't too different.

i also hear there is a bus with wifi that will take you to Cornell from NYC for 70$

and i think i spent about 60$ in gas round trip and maybe 20$ in tolls

also if you fly into la guardia, take the whitestone bridge around manhattan (DO NOT follow google maps until you've crossed whitestone, that will save you a good hour in traffic)

also every toll road i've ever used was in europe, so i was taken by surprise when i crossed the toll bridges with just a credit card and they only accept cash... i was fortunate to sweet talk a police officer out of the ticket, but I wished i would've known beforehand

hope that helps

in your email you received, click on the tracking number link. it takes you to the tracking page and the "destination" shows only the city/state where it will be delivered, not the full address.
mine shows the city from my permanent address, not my current/mailling address...

Hi All:
You already know this but this post is to reiterate: The statistics at the top of the "Calling all Johnson-Cornell Applicants" thread is driven entirely by the GMAT Club community. The level of detail regarding GMAT tests and school status in a GMAT Club member's profile populates those statistics. So, if you know your GMAT or school status and don't mind sharing, please remember to update your profile. It's easy: at the very top-right of this page, click on "My Profile”. A big preemptive "Thanks!" from everyone that finds these statistics valuable!

i thought i was gonna save money and then got a speeding ticket for doing 10 over on ny-17. i guess drive slowly, it's a pretty pleasant drive though. enjoyed driving the countryside--the scenic route takes maybe 20 minutes longer and is pretty nice where you stay on 206 the whole time. have fun.

I did not get an invite to leadership weekend, but got an email with my scholarship package about a week after my acceptance in December. Hope that helps.
