Seems that Cornell's post interview acceptance rate is really really high. I am in a wechat group of 9 chinese candidates who interviewed for Johnson and 8 got offers. This is quite amazing lol

that's really high considering there are usually less than 20 or so from China each cohort

Yea but not all will be going. Personally I will most likely i will take INSEAD or Kellogg.

apparently INSEAD is much more prestigious in S'pore than most schools other than H/S/W

Has any of the admits received information regarding how and when to make the deposit. Or any other such details. Also is there a group for admits to discuss the next steps, here on gmat club or fb? If not, I can go ahead and do it to make things simpler for us all.

Go ahead and create a GmatClub group then...
Else we can also create a Whatsapp group for those who are interested.

I know you had an interview at Ross. How'd it go?
My congratulations on being accepted!

Not yet. But I hope I will get at least two admits to feel the pain of choosing ))

In with contingent offer..LOL..
applied to the dual degree MBA/MPS in RE, so the offer is only complete till I get accepted by the baker program...
If I opt to go for a single degree MBA, my app will be reviewed by the adcom again and decision may change

Interesting, I think you're the first dual degree person I've seen here!

:gl ! The baker program is really great!

I've just read some of the posts recently posted...

Admissions staff will create a fb group and will start inviting all accepted students, as it was my case last year.

For those who have been waitlisted, Johnson might send a PDF (as they did last year) giving some advice about what to improve and how to do it. It is not specific for anybody btw. They encourage you to send updates, but try not to be annoying... maybe one update every three weeks at the most can be a good number.

Hey guys!

As a prospective R2 applicant, I wanted to know a little about Cornell's specialty. Do people pursuing roles in the tech sector have decent job opportunities here?

Thanks!

I think Cornell has traditionally been known for being really strong in finance. I do know however that it is trying to strengthen it's technology and entrepreneurial focus.

If you're really interested in tech, there's the Cornell Tech MBA and it's in NYC. Current classes are being held in the Google building in Chelsea. Although it's a relatively new program, I believe they're doing a good job at placing their students into tech jobs.

Thank you. Will see what my next steps should be. Never thought it will come to R2 personally, but 4 waitlists! :(

Sorry to hear about the WL's :-( But at least they weren't dings :-) Maybe a few of those will turn into admits!

If you're really into tech, I'd definitely look at the Tech MBA and schools like Haas and Ross. :gl for R2 and hang in there!

I would caution against this. The NYC Tech has its first class this year, so there's not really any data for placement. It's also a niche program with these prerequisites:

Quote:

Ideal candidates have a deep interest in the tech industry as well as strong academic background in a science or engineering discipline. Candidates without this academic background will still be considered but will need to show experience within engineering communities and familiarity with technical tools. All applicants, regardless of their undergraduate degree, should reflect the entrepreneurial and innovation-driven mission of the campus.

That said, we do okay here at the Ithaca 2Y program in Tech. I don't have hard numbers, but I've had classmates spend the summer with companies like HP, Intel, Amazon, etc. You do tend to have to blaze your own trail in Tech though, as it happens a lot later and most of the companies that recruit on campus are for more traditional functions such as IB, Consulting, Marketing, Corporate Finance and General Management. Hope this helps.

First of all, I want to say to those who got their acceptance for such amazing MBA program. I hope ,soon, I will join you guys!

I am planning to submit my application in one week. Before submit, I would like to ask a question about "list type essays" to the accepted ones. How did you approach to these questions? Although I made a deep investigation in internet, I could not find any satisfying information on this. Should I write it in classical form or in essay type? Which one will be correct?

Thank you for your kind help and answers..
