Cornell (Johnson) 2013 - Calling All Applicants

Thanks. Also want to add that I am a reapplicant

Any Indian applicants got their interview invites ? I submitted my application on Oct 15. The status says my application is Submitted.

Getting anxious by the day !

Hey kdraj. It says 'submitted' for me too. I submitted on 16th Oct. Makes me wonder, will the status change in case a person is dinged?

Also, looks like in general only a very few invites have been sent yet. Even Darden invites are a bit delayed (maybe due to Sandy & its tantrums) and looks like they will be going out in a couple of weeks. I guess I will wait for another week or so before losing hope.

congrat to those who got the interview already... Why mine still shows "Submitted"... this worries me...

I submitted my application on Sep 15 and it has been under review for almost 4 weeks now. Cornell has just started with the interview invite process. In your case, your application will go from 'submitted' to 'under review'. If it remains 'under review' for 2-3 weeks with the invites going on, you should be worried. Right now, there is nothing to be worried about. They won't ding you without reviewing your application.

I haven't received an invite yet .....

I wouldnt worry yet. I'll start to worry if I'm still waiting by thanksgiving...

Judging by this site and beat the gmat, it looks like Cornell is inviting international students first, which is coincidentally the opposite route Darden is going.

And as of today morning, the status has finally changed to 'Under Review'. I'm an Indian applicant.

Congrats to everyone who's received an interview! I'm currently on campus for Johnson Women in Business and it has been a great day so far. It might be too late for people who are applying this fall, but for anyone thinking about applying in fall 2013, you should definitely apply for this event - Johnson is making a concerted effort to attract women, you get your application fee waived, there is a travel reimbursement, and you meet some amazing people as part of the event. It is getting more selective - they said 90 women applied this year and 50 were accepted, as compared to the first year where they had 29 people apply and attend.

JWiB attendees also automatically are invited to interview while on campus, so I had an interview this morning with a second-year student. It was along the lines of what I was expecting - "why MBA, why Johnson, strengths/weaknesses, tell me about a time when...". My understanding is that Johnson is looking for good fit and strong interest in the school, so like people have said on other threads, make sure you know why you want to be there, what you would get out of the school, and what you will bring to the community. The questions available online are a good indicator of what they ask. The interview was about 45 minutes long, including some time for questions.

I met the person from admissions who handles North American applications as well, and she indicated that she had looked at my application this morning (apparently unrelated to the interview). There is now a note on my online file noting that an interview had been scheduled, but my status still reads 'submitted' and not 'under review' so I still am not sure what this designation means.

Hope that helps! Everyone on campus has been super, super nice and welcoming and it seems like such a great community.

Mine is still "Submitted"...Lets see. Keeping my fingers crossed.

My applicantion now says "under review"

Yay!

I am from India..and its saying...currently under review...
Keeping my fingers crossed...

do you guys think I should contact the admissions office to check if any documents or anything is missing ? My application has been in Submitted status for almost a month. I submitted the application on 10/15/2012.

Vunsuk, when was the date when the status changed ? not sure if they process/update application in batches or individually.

I don't know the exact date..

Was just checking this thread and then checked my status.

Probably in the last 2-3 days...the status has changed..

People, dont sweat it over the app status - mine says submitted and I have been invited to interview.
