#35 Cornell Johnson MBA Admissions Q&A with Christine Sneva “Join our club”

I started this podcast to have open conversations with Admissions Directors so you could get a good feel for not only the bschool, but also for the people evaluating your application. Many see admissions at top bschools as a black box, and I’m trying to tear those walls down.

This week I had such a chat with Christine Sneva, who is Executive Director of Admissions and Financial Aid of MBA Programs at Cornell Johnson.

You can really go behind the scenes of Cornell’s admissions process in this episode.
