Calling all Cornell Johnson MBA Applicants: 2024 Intake Class of 2026

Waitlisted after what I thought was a smooth interview. Also an international Ross admit -- not sure how I should move forward since I didn’t apply to many schools this cycle...

Did anyone get an email with slack link?

How many people can you see in this slack group?

Hey guys, any recommendations on Tepper with 50k scholarship vs Cornell with 0 scholarship? My aim is to get into consulting or tech post mba. P.S. Cornell refused my scholarship request.

almost600

Do you have a sense on how many of these are fully committed to the school? I understand that usually Cornell admits ~900 students, ~300 enroll…if these 600 are all “just admitted” students that could mean that there is still about 100 spots to be filled. Just trying to do this math to help and give an inspiration to people who are either on the waitlist or round III applicants

Did Johnson know that you had a $50k offer from Tepper when you requested a scholarship review? As far as which is stronger, the answer is the opposite for each of your two potential paths. For tech, Tepper is obviously stronger. Tepper has probably the 3rd best tech/business branding (behind MIT and Berkley) whereas Johnson is actually known as being a bit weak on Tech and not having as much Tech recruitment as other T15 schools. The exception might be if you look at 1 year tech mba programs, since Johnson actually has put a lot into their Tech MBA in New York. On the other hand, Johnson has the upper hand in consulting. For example McKinsey considers Johnson a target school, they do not consider Tepper a target school. This list changes year-to-year, and some MBB firms consider Johnson more of a "half target" (where they still send recruiters, but not as many). But there are consulting firms that will recruit from Johnson that won’t recruit at Tepper, I don’t believe there are any where the reverse is true. Additionally, Tepper had 15 people go to MBB firms last year, Johnson had 23. That might seem like a small difference, but it’s almost a 50% increase. https://poetsandquants.com/2021/04/07/t ... -recruits/ https://www.businessbecause.com/news/mb ... ulting-mba

And both Tepper/Johnson only has 1 recruiter assigned to the campus (can look this up on Mckinsey site) - 4 recruiters are the max they assign on their top target schools (re: Darden/Tuck/Booth/Kellogg/Wharton etc) so strictly speaking, Mckinsey places Johnson/Tepper on a same tier this year although Johnson might have an upper leg because undergrad has a stronger relationship w McK. The three firms that might give a slight edge due to the past relationship at Johnson are Bain, Deloitte, and EYP but the differences are marginal that I don’t think it’s worth over-indexed on. Is Johnson > Tepper in consulting - sure but the differences are much more marginal.
