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

They haven''t even looked at the video for essay 1 I posted online. I was able to make it out by the 'viewed' stats of the video.

I'm in! Just got the call! Based out of Philadelphia, PE Administration WE, CPA, CFA Level II Candidate..

I'M IN!!! Got the e-mail from Ann Richards. Portal hasn't updated for me so haven't been able to access the official letter. Any other R1 applicants get the good news? Hopefully the admissions office can get around to calling accepted students for later rounds. Not a deal breaker as I had such a great experience visiting and connecting with students, but it's a nice personal touch I experienced with other schools.

Congrats gnahc !! This is really great news. If you remember, what was your interview date?

Got in! Got the call earlier today. Round 1 candidate from Toronto. Interviewed in the first week of December.

Congrats!! Just wondering did you apply for the One- Year or Two-Year program?

Hey technoholic , I interviewed December 1. So, I am just 1 day over the 3-week mark. To give you an idea of what to expect, keep in mind that some 2-year applicants (particularly the earliest applications) waited just a hair over 4 weeks. Any other updates on this board???

Got a mail 5 minutes ago... The Admissions Committee (...) would like to offer you a place on the Two-year Ithaca MBA program ... waitlist. Damn! I almost cried during the first sentences until I got into the "waitlist" word!

stephanieblum I wouldn't lose hope. There are steps you can take to better position yourself for acceptance.
