Hey Guys,
I am very sad to report that I have been denied admissions at the Johnson School. I called up yesterday and spoke to a rep. about my application tu to when it will be processed as I was applying for a dual degree and had already been admitted to the other program at Cornell. She emailed me today that my application would be reviewed today itself, and within 2 hours, my online status changed to denied. This was pretty strange considering that I had been calling them for 2-3 weeks and no one said anything. However, the lady was extremely helpful.
End of the road for me I guess. My 690 and lack of work ex. (me being a college senior) would have denied me admissions, as I am very confident that my overall resume and application essays were very impressive. I guess will wait it out for 2-3 years and then re apply with a stronger application in terms of experiences and GMAT scores
Christopher, what is going to happen in the next week?
Best of luck for everyone who has made it this year.

Hi Str1der,
Sorry to hear about your ding. The good news is that you are very young, and have lot's of time to get into a quality mba program.
I really doubt the 690 hurt your chances, so if I take your word on having stellar essays, it had to come down to the fact of no work experience, and applying round 4.
It also didn't help your case to pester the admissions office about getting your decision. Almost anytime a candidate wants their decision early, that decision ends up being a ding.
I'm not trying to pour salt in an open wound, but was there a particular reason you couldn't wait until next week?
Anyway, I am truly sorry to hear you got bad news, and I wish you all the best in your future applications.
