Ariel:

1. Does the Capital Markets and Asset Management immersion program include real estate? The website makes it sound like it's only for capital markets (i.e. stocks).

2. Can Johnson School students take courses in the Cornell Prorgram in Real Estate? I know there is a dual-degree but i think the app for MPS is done for this year, as mentioned in the website.

Thank you

Hey everyone,

so when do people that did interviews actually get notified of the admissions decision???

Will that be in December or would it be earlier???

Has anyone been admitted yet?

Hi all,

I received an interview invite from Johnson on Nov 2nd. I was wondering if any of you knows of a good way to get in touch with students/alumni of the school. In the past I have found it useful talking to students before my interviews. Unfortunately, I don't know anyone from Cornell.

Will really appreciate your help/inputs.

Thanks!

Any Cornell Alums-can you specify some of the marketing and corporate finance professor's whose lectures you might have attended.
I will be able to know more about them.
Also, can anyone state how career prospects are for students in marketing classes-post johnson mba. I hardly see any cornell alumns in linked in.
Thank you.

I really doubt if they expect you to travel all the way to Ithaca for the interview. I am in the US, yet they offered me options to interview with an alum or do a phone interview. So...

Submitted for Round 2 and LORs are all in :-D

And in terms of visiting campus, doing so is pretty hard even for those who live in U.S. I think those who already visited Ithaca will agree.

Not yet.. My application got complete very late, for I had to write TOEFL being an international student. I think it got complete on 23 Oct. So I guess I have a long way to wait. I am an ED candidate. How you heard from them yet?

Also just submitted a last minute round 2 application. Meeting that short 400 word count was probably the toughest part of the app. Good luck everyone!

Submitted my app last night. One of my LOR is not in yet. Does anyone know if there's a deadline for LOR?

At a recent MBA info session (reps from Cornell, Duke, Michigan, etc were present) I asked the same question. The response I got from the Duke rep was that schools typically have a grace period for LOR's, which varies from school-to-school, but no school will tell you what that period is. So, if I were to guess, if your LOR gets in in the next day or two, you should still be considered for Round 2.
