Hello all, I’d applied in round 2 and was invited for the interview (interview happened on 8th March). The email already mentions that the final notification date is April 6, 2023. Any R1 applicants who got the final decision before the notification date?

Adcoms don’t give personalized feedback - you have to keep conversing with them and analyzing your own profile - once you point out a weakness - such as in my case the GMAT then they’ll say yes - I asked for mbamath and they specifically told me to "NOT EMPHASIZE ON MBAMATH " as GMAT improvement will be more helpful(yes those were the exact words)

Understood what you meant. Thanks for sharing that!

Are All the R2 decisions on April 6, or can you get notification earlier? Posted from my mobile device

during interview adcom told me it was rolling. I interviewed late Feb. I’m hoping those that weren’t notified yet get decisions on 4/6

Hello!

I was wondering if anyone here knows if most admitted students should have heard back by now? I was interviewed on 3/10 and haven’t heard back yet. Trying to gauge if I should expect a waitlist/ding at this point haha.

I was interviewed yesterday and the adcom said that the decision will be released on 04/06

I had an interview on 15th. The adcom told me that all the decisions are sent out on April 6, so I believe we just have to wait tbh.

I’m still a bit nervous because some people receive decisions prior to the date, but anyway we should just patiently wait, and this is the best thing we can do.

Tell me about a time when you had to manage a resource constraint
What do you think is the benefit of being on a multidisciplinary campus?

She asks that I look out for a final decision by the 15th of Feb

a question for waitlisted candidates and candidates who managed to escape and waitlist and secure an admit: after a waitlist action-plan has been sent to Cornell and acknowledged by them, how can we continue to show our interest in case we don’t have any foreseeable profile updates?

*escape the waitlist and secure an admit

send an email to Benjamin only and only if you have a substantial update. Don’t overburden them with regular updates. Substantial updates mean promotion, improved GMAT score, completion of major certifications that was listed in their application portal while filling up the application (such as CFA, FRM, etc).

well Ben told me that I am on the right track and that there are no more points to be added. But he had stressed upon the fact that only active students will be considered, so I wanted to know what else can be done to bee deemed active by Ben/Waitlist team

Big tip, schools (in particular cornell-i have two MBA grads in the fam), really lovd their crm and alumni. Alumni are able to submit/report students during a survey they can submit online. if you make an impression, people can ’report’you . sorry it’s v early and I’m half asleep, but hope that makes sense

Congrats on the admit. First figure out if Cornell offers scholarships based on merit or need or both. Your merit is confirmed through the admit. Stay humble, straight and explain why you need a higher scholarship. Do not come across as arm-twisting.
