Cornell - Johnson School MBA 校友Q&A

thanks for sharing

I am eagerly waiting to hear from cornell, but I guess the notice for R2 will be delayed due to the overwhelming application number.

(1) The admissions office will be closed from Dec. 21th to Jan. 2nd for the holiday break. I think R2 review will restart once the office is reopened.

(2) I don't think the location is a big problem. Certainly, Ithaca is not as convenient as places like NYC or Bay area. But, on the other hand, it is far closer to business/financial centers in the east coast than some other top schools. In addition, the reputation of Cornell is simply attractive enough for many big companies come to campus for recruiting even though Ithaca is just a small place (and this is why students are very close to each other because you can just see everybody everyday).

(3) SGE is one of the strongest areas at Johnson. For class 2009, there are about 30~40 students in this immersion. Most of them had previous experiences of working as volunteers in Africa, Latin America, Southeast Asia, and Eastern Europe for at least 2 years. It is just fascinating to study with these people who are so passionate about social and environmental sustainability. You may check http://www.johnson.cornell.edu/sge/index.html for current projects. I am not in SGE. But, if you have more questions, drop me an email and I can forward them to some SGE students.

(4) For the TOEFL score report, you may scan your original copy and send the electronic version to the admissions office. I am not sure whether this is gonna work, but certainly it is worth a try.

多谢楼主！按照你的说法，我把ETS网站上我的profile中的成绩进行了截屏发给学校了。不知道有没有用？？？？？

I attended the Cornell MBA Winter Break Event in BJ on last Friday. The two current students are very nice and honest. Thanks and best wishes!

你好！请问如果我的TOEFL分数没达到学校要求，只有94，哪怕我package的其他部分再优秀，是不是也意味着没希望了？

谢谢啊～

问一个比较简单的问题。。我还没有考GMAT，但是马上就要考了。。在我心中的最好的大学就是cornell大学。实话，所以就往这个方面努力了，希望申请到能有on campus interview，我爬山涉水都会去（我已经在美国）。

所以想问一下关于推荐信的一个问题，是这样的，康奈尔的推荐信是网上递交呢还是邮寄过去（密封盖章），字数有要求不？

谢谢

This best way is to send recommendation letters on line. I am not aware of any limits on words, but it should not be over 1 page.

hi, I am an R2 applicant and I was put on the waiting list of AMBA. I have a number of questions :

1) Do you know about the success rate of getting off the list last year for AMBA?

2) How many students in MBA / AMBA opt for real estate as their post-MBA career?

3) For those MBA students who chose the SGE immersion, what kind of jobs/companies they are targeting for their post-MBA career?

Thank you very much!

这样的话，R3岂不是机会很小了？
