Thanks everyone for participating in this chat session. Here's are key takeaways from the chat. Full transcript is also available to download below.
- Cornell accepts both GMAT and GRE scores and recommend that you take the test that you feel you can perform strongest on. Cornell does not have a preference and one test is not preferred over the other.
- When looking at candidates it is much more than scores. We look at your undergrad and post-grad performance. Work experience is the first thing I will look at. From your career progression to accomplishments/achievements. We look at your goals to get a better understanding of what you want to do. Letters of recs and what is said about you. Interviews are very key too. This is your opportunity to show who you are. Finally, the essays are important too.
- About 30% of our students are awarded merit-based scholarships and awards range from 10% up to full tuition. All candidates who are given an offer of admission are considered for merit-based scholarship.
- The best way to demonstrate fit is by getting to know our community. We host various information sessions, webinars, etc. all around the world where you will meet our Admissions Team, Alumni, Current Students, and more. Come to visit campus if you can. You will get a good sense of the community and ways you can make an impact. Make sure you reach out students and alums about their experience
