Hi, Any AMBA applicants out here?

I am. You asked about AMBA finance opps. Have you contacted any Johnson Ambassadors? I talked to a few and they were very helpful.

I am too.

What did the ambassadors say about the finance opps?

Has anyone attened the sage social on thursday. I have an interview next week an I am trying to figure out my flight times and if flying out later is worth it, so I can attend the social. Any current student perspectives would also be nice.

Thanks,

Sage Social is cool, but I wouldn't go out of my way for the free food and booze. It'd be great to attend if you can, but if it doesn't work with your schedule, I wouldn't sweat it.

I don't know cobra, it depends on who's catering. Mmmm free mozzarella sticks.

Agreed sage social is fun and all, but it's not make or break. Come only to assess fit by watching/interacting with Johnson students in their natural habitat.

Sorry. I should have been more clear. I asked them about the entrepreneurship program. Some didn't know, but others were helpful. If you contact them, most respond within 24 hrs. I would suggest asking a few. You will surely find one or two that will be able to answer your questions.

I did talk to an ambassador. I'm interested in IB / Corporate finance in Pharma. Heard that a lot of consulting firms recruit from Cornell. As far as IB goes, the scope is limited. Corporate Finance roles are also few (rotational programs in large pharma is a really cool option but for that one to be a US permanent resident)

FYI - Johnson is re-naming the AMBA as the 1-year MBA. Probably smart to start referring to it as such.

Can someone tell me how serious is Cornell about essay word limits? I am overshooting essay 2 by about 20 words. Will this be a threat to my candidacy?

I think it's fine. I was 18 words over and got an invite.

I feel it's not okay. Word limits are there for a purpose. 5 - 6 words extra would be fine, but try to restrict strictly within limits.

It's an advice I got from an adcom (Not Johnson adcom).

It'll definitely not be a make or break, but it reflects negatively.

The overall rule everyone usually suggests is 10% over - 10% under for word limits. I was regularly 10% over and got interview invites everywhere I applied.

I just read the admission blog post dated 11/28. It says that the *real* recommendation deadline is Jan 3rd.

Does this mean as long as I submit my application by Dec 4th and my recommender submits their recommendations by Jan 3rd I would still be considered for R2?
