thanks for the link! 

what do u think about R3 for Cornell? Is it pushing the limit or is it similiar to R1 and R2 since there are 4 rounds?

Hjort · Answer

Cornell's R3 is before R2 for virtually all of its Elite Cluster brethren. Indeed, R3 at Cornell is just a few days after R1 for some schools in the top clusters. Thus, it is still quite early in the season.

desiguy · Answer

does Cornell usually fill up most of their class in R1 and R2 or is R3 still a viable option?

Hjort · Answer

One interesting aspect of Cornell's BW rankings is how much they've jumped around from a highpoint of #7 in 1988 to a low of #18 in 1996. Most schools in the elite cluster have a smaller range:

UCB 6
UCLA 7
Duke 8
Michigan 6
NYU 5
UVA 9


The only elite cluster schools with lower lowest rankings have been UC Berkeley and Yale (and NYU was at #18 in 1988).

jchip · Answer

Can someone explain to me the fall in Cornell's rankings? 

In BW's 2004 rankings, Cornell was ranked #7. In BW's 2006 rankings, Cornell fell the most among the top 30 ranking at #13. 

Cornell is implementing a five-year plan to improve the business school. At the same time, it is now accepting students with less than 2 years of work experience.

Hjort · Answer

Without wishing to sound flippant, the fall in the rank probably has more to do with noise than any change in the intrinsic value proposition of attending Cornell. Cornell is clearly an elite school, albeit one that tends to have a rather high rank spread.

vmalaiya · Answer

Cornell has a Twelve Month Option (TMO) program for people with advanced degree in Technology or science such as Master and PhD. Can anyone tell me how does this program compare with the 2 years one ?

From a recruiter's perspective is TMO designed for people who want to stay in technology or science industry? More specifically, is TMO a good choice for someone who is looking for a more general management type of a program with a consulting career in mind ?
