Tepper and Cornell make you fill the whole thing out. So it’s a bit last minute. But, waivers should come through incase you a) have a quantitative background b) have at least 5 years of experience (preferred consulting | finance | analytics) c) have some certifications such as CFA/CPA.

They made you do the whole application right?

Yes but you anyways have to submit the entire application. Waiver request can’t be submitted separately


Did they mention any reason to you?

Nope, they don’t provide any reason. But I guess it’s coz of competition and my Quant background is pretty average

Yes! Tepper, Darden, and USC Marshall are way more strict with waivers, whether Cornell usually gives it to everyone. At least this is what I have been told!

And any idea what is the % of students Cornell takes who were granted waivers.. like for McCombs it’s just 1-2%

It stays in that range. NYU is also 1%. But this might go up and have a feeling that waiver is here to stay at least into the next admissions cycle

I got GMAT waiver in MIT, Darden, Tepper, Ross, Emory, McCombs.
BS and MS in Engineering. 8 years of working experience in an engineering company.
No interview invitation from above school so far. :)
Tepper asked me to provide some documentation. They asked for Degree Conferral Missing of my graduate school although I submitted transcript.
I then just submitted the scan of my degree. Can anyone advise whether it is sufficient?

I have question on the degree conferral date. The date that I mentioned in the application is different to the actual conferral date (degree) that I received (officially) a typo at my end. Should I apprise the adcom? and share the updated conferral date?

Do you think it's a bad sign if we applied R2 and haven't gotten an interview invite yet? For context, I applied on the final day the app was due (Jan. 5).

I haven't gotten an interview invite either. My scores are still processing, so I assume it is because they haven't reached by application yet.

Hey there !
I also had an incomplete application due to the degree thing. I added a scanned copy of my final degree certificate that shows name of school, University and the date. No updates yet. I had mailed them previously and they said that they go through the full pile and send emails. If anything is incomplete and we submit it , it does not get reviewed as soon as we update it. They will come back once they have processed the other applications. Which means that we can be the last pile so interviews can be delayed. That just my guess though !

It’s been a week my status has been "Complete and Sent to Committee for Review". R1 applicants, how many days
after the deadlines did the majority of interview invites go out?
