No reason to worry. Johnson's admission team is relatively small and it has to take care of too many applicants. I'm sure you'll get it within an hour.

I'm in the same boat as you... this is awful!

So it looks like - for those of us who got invites---we have to wait for a second email to set up the interview? Is this what you guys gather? The letter I received says "To accommodate the volume of interview requests we will receive, we are staggering the invitation process over the next 10 days. You should expect an email with instructions for how to schedule your interview. "

mcharb13 I found this little snippet from an interview of Christine Sneva in 2012: I calculate that is 31%-36% roughly. With an acceptance of ~29% ~22% that means that approximately ~80%-90% ~60%-70% of interviewees will get accepted. These are however based on statements from the former senior admissions director in 2012. Christine I believe now heads up the Cornell Tech MBA and Ann Richards has taken over as Interim Senior Director. We also don't know how much application volume increases will change things. From another interview they've stated about 15%-20% increase in applications year over year recently.

What makes you say Johnson is a longshot? 730 GMAT is solid. Do you have good work experience?

To my knowledge, Johnson's acceptance rate is ~22%. P&Q and accepted confirm this figure as well.

The truth is that GMAT only confirms one's ability to absorb a narrow set of specific information and nothing else. I've never heard that anyone has been accepted only because of a high GMAT. :/
