Cornell (Johnson) 2012 - Calling All Applicants

Just bumping this thread up for tomorrow's application submission deadline...

According to last year's thread, Admissions started sending out interview invites about a week after the R1 deadline.
Does anyone know if we can expect the same this year?

I submitted my application earlier today for round 1! Good luck to everyone.

In for round 1! Good luck to everyone.

In for Round 1 via Consortium. Will be visiting next week and really looking forward to it. Finishing up the Legacy and Table of Contents essays now.

submitted

Submitted for R1. Good luck everyone!

When does Johnson send out interview notifications/decisions?

Submitted! TOC essay was certainly challenging. After a lot of thinking I took a more conservative approach and stuck to the text only version

Submitted......9/12
Under Review..9/13
Invite............hopefully soon

I received my invitation to interview today, so it looks like they're following the same procedure as last year.
If you read through last year's thread, it seems pretty random as to who is invited to interview first.
Now I have nice long period of post-interview nail-biting to look forward to.

Edit: I submitted my app a few days early, in case anyone was curious.

Does your profile actually have "Under Review" on it, or are you just going by when you got an email confirmation from Johnson that they have received your application?

My profile just says...

Congrats on the interview invite! When did you submit your app?




Well, that sucks for me. I thought submitting a few days early would at least give me the advantage as far as the timing of my app being reviewed.

I noticed that you submitted before your recommendations were complete. I think what happens is your application becomes incomplete on 10/7, then someone from admissions must go in and manually mark it complete after both recommendations are received, causing a delay. In other words, it becomes a manual process rather than an automated process.

I almost did something similiar when I applied to CBS but admissions explained that it was to my benefit to wait for the recommendations for the above reason. Either way I am sure you will hear something soon.

I did not know that. Thanks for the heads up. I should have waited until after my second recommender submitted his letter then.

My recommendations were submitted on 10/16... i guess its gonna be a long wait for me

best of luck everyone!

OK, so maybe I was procrastinating and searching for Cornell Johnson YouTube videos instead of finishing my third application.
In any case, I stumbled across this:
