we are looking for a candidate who is unique, motivated, and more. During the application, you should be able to highlight your experience, academic performance, and more. We want someone who understands our program and is a good fit. - Eddie Asbie, Associate Director of Admissions and Financial Aid at Cornell. We look at your application holistically. While a weak undergraduate record can be a concern, we do look at your work experience and standardized scores as well. In the end, your application will be reviewed along with all other applications in the round. The stronger your application is overall the better. - Kim Szpiro, Assistant Director of Admissions and Financial Aid at Cornell. I chose Cornell for a few reasons. Firstly, I knew that a large part of the MBA experience was learning from your classmates and so to get the richest experience I'd want the most diverse class. I felt that Cornell offered the most diverse class between my choices. Secondly, I enjoy outdoor activities and Ithaca offers a great variety of fun activities to keep me active outside of the classroom. Lastly, from a personal point. My wife could not relocate with me to Ithaca and so we'll have to travel back and forth from each other's locations. She'll remain in the NYC area and so frequent trips back and forth from Ithaca were much easier than my other option (Tepper) - David, Current first year at Cornell Download full Cornell chat transcript here.. calling-all-johnson-cornell-applicants-2016-intake-class-of-200239-20.html#p1572119

I didnt receive any information. In fact, my interviewer called me without adding me to Skype and I had no idea about who was going to interview me until I picked up the call.

1 year MBA, submitted R2, status "under review"

Dinged w/o interview. R1 applicant.

rahul did you apply for 1 year or 2 year MBA?

thank you for the response Rahul.

AdCom called on time scheduled, no prior information.

Same here, I too received a Skype call without any "notice" though I was aware that my interviewer would be a member of the Admissions team (I had emailed a week prior to ask about this).

Same here, I had a Skype call on the time scheduled without knowing who will be my interviewer. And also in pain waiting for the results hehe, mine was on Dec. 2nd for 1 year MBA and I know it's worth the wait but it is tough. Good luck to everyone
