#126 Cornell Johnson MBA Admissions Interview with Eddie Asbie
“I think being located in Ithaca, New York, has a lot of pros. Ithaca is an amazing, vibrant college town, and the sense of community is very strong within our program. So if you’re looking for a program that is little smaller, we pride ourselves on having a collaborative community and fostering strong bonds.“
Eddie Asbie from Cornell University’s Johnson School of Management discusses what makes the Cornell MBA unique, the school’s admissions process and career opportunities for Cornell MBAs.
