Cornell (Johnson) 2012 - Calling All Applicants

I got my interview invite on the 10th. International applicant (India) - I chose the option of a phone interview - still waiting to hear back from Cornell about the dates.

Thx sidhant! BTW, when your application went under review? Good luck for your interview

Thanks ddx2003...my application went under review on October 21. I have another friend who's application went under review on Oct 21 and she received her invite on the 11th. Think they've just started sending out the invites for internationals and the coming week will see a major push in that direction. Good luck to you!

Congrats Sidhant.. btw did they give you any interview date? Curious to know how many days does one get to prepare for the interview?

Thanks Shivam. I haven't yet received my interview date. I received the email on the 10th but couldn't reply as I was traveling without access to email. The initial invite asked for my preference of mode for the interview - skype, phone, alum, or on campus. I replied on the 12th, but still haven't received a response. I guess the weekend came up and probably will see an email tomorrow with the interview date.

Congrats Sidhant!!! Any particular reason you opted for a phone interview. Just wondering if Cornell perfers one over the others.

Thank you! I am traveling frequently these days to remote locations in the country and as a result felt the alumni interview may be a little tough to plan and schedule. Out of Skype and the phone interview, I trust the phone more, and have been in situations earlier where Skype would just not let me log in to the system. That's why a phone interview seemed the safest bet. Personally, I'd prefer an on-campus or alumni interview - somehow seems more personal and one can adapt to interviewer reactions in a better way.

Good luck, guys!

I'm interviewing via Skype tomorrow morning. I will post a recap afterwards.

The round 2 application deadline is around the corner and we are excited to see a new group of applications. The admissions office is still deep into round 1, so if you haven't heard from us yet, please continue to be patient. We are working through the applications as quickly as possible.

At Johnson, we have a transparent, but tight process. Each application is given proper consideration and time with the admissions committee through application reads as well as those who are interviewed. We will try to match those invited to interview with someone who has experience in their industry. This is not a perfect process yet, but it is a move in the right direction for an optimal interview experience for our candidates.

This week, we will be hosting our own Application Chat to connect with round 2 applicants before submitting their application. We will answer questions about the essays, exam requirements, and interview policies. The chat is scheduled for November 17, 2011, 9 am Eastern Time.

If you have specfic questions on the handling of your application, please be aware each applicant has their own application manager to help you through the process. If you haven't already, you can contact them:
(if your surname starts from A-I) Heidi Russell, Sr. Admissions Representative hjr27@cornell.edu
(if your surname start from H-O) Jade Bigelow, Admissions Representative jab832@cornell.edu
(if your surname starts from P-Z) Jenna Abbott, Admissions Representative jma266@cornell.edu

We look forward to reading your application!
