Calling all Johnson (Cornell) Applicants: (2017 Intake) Class of 2019!

An clues about when the January round interview will be out?

Not sure, does your application say under review or submitted?

Submitted.

Hi Guys - Please join me in welcoming shutter_Stock as a Thread Master for Cornell Johnson MBA Thread. We are thrilled to have him on the site and joining the Thread Master ranks. He joined GMAT Club community recently and has since then demonstrated leadership and helpfulness in forum discussions. He is applying to Cornell and few other schools in R2 this year.

If anyone has any questions about Cornell forum, deadlines, school stats, feel free to PM him. For now, welcome him and wish him best of luck as the ThreadMaster.

Best Regards,
Narenn

Thanks Narenn. Gmatclub forum has been a point of stellar support through this harrowing application experience.

Application still shows as submitted for Johnson. Their rolling interview decisions makes it hard to guess application acceptance.

It changed to "Under Review" today - what does that mean?

its under review

When did you submit your application?

The application portal says "schedule interview" for me although I have not received an email to confirm. I feel good that it means I will receive an invite to interview but I can't be sure until I see the official email. Let's hope it's not a system error or something!

Congratulations ! can you please tell us when you hit submit on your application ?

I applied through the consortium round 2 on January 4th and on January 13th I received an email from the admissions team stating they received my application and provided instructions for checking my application portal, etc. I believe I first noticed the "Schedule Interview" on my application page around 3 days ago (on January 16th). Hope that helps.

January 6th, 2017.

Are the interview invites expected today?

Not to burst anyone's bubble, but everyone in the Consortium receives an invite because Johnson has a Super Day. Regular applicants shouldn't view those invites as indicative of anything.

Finally, the status has changed from 'Submitted' to 'Under Review'. I submitted ~2 hrs prior to the deadline.

My status changed from under review to schedule interview.
But no email from Cornell or link in the portal - could be an error? Anyone else in the same boat?

International Applicant here. Just had an on-campus interview for Nov round yesterday (applied a day before the deadline and received invite in early Jan). The interview was on the same day as the coffee chat (which two second year students took us around the campus and explain things - they were great to entertain us and give insights on how Johnson students live), the Sage Social (which the entire campus gathered and enjoyed free booze and food), and I got dragged to the Johnson on Tap (beer club - which was great fun.) So definitely check the social events before scheduling your interview and I would recommend doing your interview on a Thursday and join the Sage Social.

The interview I had was with an Adcom. She notified me that it would be 30 minutes long and it was. She also told me that she was not the reader of my application and had only seen my resume, but she did have some questions from the reader of my app. The interview was relaxed and the interviewer did a great job to make you feel at ease.

There were list of general questions and the conversation took from there.
- Tell me about yourself
- Why MBA
- Why now
- Why that desired career goal
- Why Johnson
- Which immersion
- How will you contribute
- Which clubs would you like to join
- Q for me
