Me too, turn to other schools like Duke/Darden/Anderson
So lucky I got an offer from Olin already.

Not sure why Johnson became so competitive though.

Though some people are saying they are still receiving interview invitations, they said Johnson is inviting them to interview in two weeks and thus will definitely miss deadlines.

Just received an interview invite!!

Indian female applicant, residing in US. IT background.

They strongly recommend on-campus interview. If I schedule the interview post Feb 5th because this is a very short notice, my decision will be given out later.
Do not lose hope people. I think they mean it when they say interview invites will go out until Feb 4th.

I was feeling most miserable this morning and had lost all confidence. Cannot say how much this boosts my confidence.

I submitted my app on Dec 4th. My application immediately went into 'Incomplete' status for pending Recommendations. 10 days later my recommendations were done, but status still remained 'Incomplete' due to pending TOEFL report which I had sent long ago.

Finally, I wrote to the adcom before they left for holidays and I was asked to follow up on 10th if I do not see my status change. I had to follow up on 10th after which they located my official TOEFL scores and changed my app status to 'Under Review'.

I also interviewed recently. The most fascinating part of the interview was the conversational tone that it took. It never felt like a question and answer session. Since Cornell does blind interviews, the interviewer did not know much about my essays. I was able to use some examples that I wrote in my essays to back up my claims about teamwork etc.

Apart from the standard why MBA, why now, why Cornell questions, I was asked about how I see my curriculum progressing (courses, club activities etc). Another question that was posed as an ice-breaker was to describe how my career has progressed to date, both in terms of complexity of tasks that I perform and in terms of the responsibilities attributed to me.
Hope these pointers help!

Oh, and another admissions committee member said that the interviews will keep going until the decision date, and most people who have interviewed prior to 5 Feb will hear back (through email or a status update on the application page) around noon. They said they might not call...

Hey, Laksh2013 seems to be an Indian residing in the U.S.; nagpalanil seems to be asking if there are any Indian applicants in INDIA who have received an invite. I vaguely remember Laksh2013's application going under review a few days before the Indian applicants' located in India (such as mine).

I am an Indian applicant located in India, and have not received any info as of yet.

Regards

I am taking this as a positive sign that they are still rolling out invites. I am keeping my hopes alive until the deadline.

One of my buddies outside this forum has. Yesterday seems to have been the first burst of Indian invites. Lets see what today has in store.

I found they send out invitations in the morning everyday.
So, probably today is over again.
I guess the chance for us is negligible.

I interviewed on campus earlier this week and had a great time checking out Ithaca and the campus. All the students I met (even the random ones I struck up conversations with in the hallways) were amazing. The interview questions I received were expected: Resume walk through, why MBA, why Johnson, leadership examples, an example of a challenging professional experience.

I just observed that my application status went to "Under Review" Lot sure how long ago this happened.
Indian applicant in India.

From previous year's threads I gather that a lot of Indian applicants will be put on WL (some without an interview invites) at the R2 deadline. Not sure if this is helpful information...

Hi guys,

I am a round2 applicant and just received an interview invite earlier this week.

So, I asked for a Skype interview during 3-7 Feb and the staff scheduled on 7 Feb.

He also mentioned that the decision will be informed about 3-4 business days after the interview date.

So, they will definitely postpone the decision notification deadline date. But I am not sure about additional interview invites.
