Danny,
Like I wrote in my initial post, each company does its own checks and balances analysis about hiring/not hiring internationals and therefore the reasons vary. Also, when applying for an H1B visa there is also the risk of being disapproved, a risk that some companies may not want to take.

Evgeny,
"what's the importance of Pre-MBA experience in the post-MBA job hunt?"
This is a generic question and the answer is – it depends. It depends on the type of industry, depends on the recruiting company's policy and depends on what your pre-MBA experience is. There are a lot of investment bankers or consultants who used to be lawyers, engineers, military officers. On the other side of the spectrum lie media/advertising companies which in most cases hire people with experience in those areas. Tech companies view an engineering background as a good fit but it is not necessarily a must.
A word of advise:
Business school can be a great transition platform to acquire experience and new skills. For example: A person who has engineering background with an interest to pursue a job in wall street can be involved with finance clubs on campus, join a student run mutual fund and do well in finance courses. All this will provide good experience to present to recruiters. Add to that a summer internship in one of the big banks and..you get the idea.

Yaniv,
Being asked about other schools you are applying to is subjective from school to school. Cornell usually asks this question in order to understand the rational behind your decision making process and to evaluate your motivation to matriculate if admitted. I believe that other schools have other policies for different reasons.
My best advise is to tell the truth and provide a strong supporting argument.

Yevgeny,
I am involved in MBA recruiting as a side gig, a position which allows me to understand the corporate side of the story. In general, I agree with Danny's perspective about recruiting internationals, with only one caveat.
Recruiting international students is not a matter of "attitude" or being "anti-international". Corporations are limited by the amount of visas they are allowed to sponsor for foreign employees. In the past 4-5 years, the US government reduced those visas by about 36 percent. Furthermore, sponsoring international visas cost money. As a result of those reasons, each company does its own checks and balances and determines whether recruiting internationals is important enough or not. Some companies such as Avaya Ltd. (A fortune 500 Telecom) will recruit international MBAs on purpose since it matches the firm's strategy, while other companies such as IBM will not even review your resume if you do not have a permanent work authorization. All this is valid to the United States only.
According to my judgement, an MBA from a good school in the US definitly pays itself and if you put your mind into it, you will find a job.

LPOW,
Good questions.
ECLP is for people with work experience. There are about 60+ people each year in the US pole and a similar number in Europe, Asia and the Middle east. Of the US pole, about 80% have MBAs and are recruited right after gradutation. Experience of any sort in marketing or sales is required, and for this matter, business school experience is included.
Another requirement is a proven leadership/management experience at a higher scale than an addmissions to business schools.
My personal background focused on the military, high tech project management and enterpreneurship. While at school I was involved with different projects which allowed me enhance my commercial skills.
Mobility – this is a requirement. The program includes 4 six months rotations (two years in total) and each rotation can be assigned to a different rotation, depends on the business you work for. There are plenty of opportunities to do a rotation in emerging markets like China, Korea, India and Eastern Europe.

Dalit,
Yes, it is a rotational program in marketing and sales and I currently work for NBC Universal (The TV and movies firm), which is owned by GE. The program's name is Experienced Commercial Leadership Program (ECLP).

Roy,
I started working for GE after graduating from Cornell. Most MBAs do not take the entrepreneurial route post graduation. They are usually aiming their career endeavors at large companies, in part to get experience from well known firms and to establish a reputation in a particular industry.
GE is a great company for MBAs to work for for the following reasons:
1. Leadership programs – GE developed several post MBA programs which are aimed at developing young managers and nurturing them for executive management positions. Those programs provide practical experience in multiple businesses, a great opportunity if you want to become a general manager.
2. The GE brand name is a door opener wherever you go, Israel included
3. Training – You get top notch practical training in disciplines which are not necessarily taught in business schools such as sales, business development, six sigma and more.
Will be happy to answer and career related questions for those of you who are concerned about career placement.

Eyam,
I am a Cornell Alumnus. In some schools, Cornell included, an application is not viewed until it is completed and the grades have been varified so there is no value in trying to accelerate the process.
Good luck,

Dovi,
A 640 GMAT score is a lower than the average score for the Johnson school at Cornell. However, your application is viewed as a whole which includes your work experience, your academic capabilities, references from past employees and any other activities which demonstrate your leadership and career development potential. I advise you to visit the website color=#0000cc http://www.johnson.cornell.edu to learn about the school. With regards to your questions about the curriculum, go the the section that describes the immersion learning semester. There are 7 immersions:
1. Strategic Brand Management
2. Research, Sales and Trading
3. Managerial Finance
4. Investment Banking
5. Strategic Studies and Operations
6. Entrepreneurship and Private Equity
7. Global Sustainable Enterprise

Eli,
There are multiple newsletters and newsgroups. Most newsletters are internal and can not be accessed by those who are not from the Johnson school. However, you can follow news and events and discover interesting facts about students' activities in the following link: http://www.johnson.cornell.edu/life/studentorganizations/
This link is a must if you are preparing your addmisions doing your research. For those of you who follow this link thoroughly, I am sure that you will find that the Johnson school provides great autonomy to the students.

<hr></p>קבלת ישראלים – הפרכת מיתוסיםשמי ינון דולב ואני סטודנט MBA שנה שנייה באוניברסיטת קורנל. ברצוני להפריך מיתוס נפוץ בעניין מכסות של ישראלים במהלך תהליך הקבלה. בשיחות וראיונות שערכתי עם מועמדים ישראלים, נשאלתי שאלות כמו "כמה ישראלים הגישו בקשות השנה?" או "כמה ישראלים התראיינו עד כה?"
שאלות כאלו נשאלות בעקבות הנחה רווחת שבתי הספר מדי שנה מתכננים מכסות קבלה לישראלים, ולכן המועמדים הישראלים מתחרים אחד כנגד השני.
ההנחה הזו היא מוטעית ביסודה. אני יכול להעיד בוודאות לגבי קורנל, ואני כמעט בטוח שזה המקרה גם עבור אוניברסיטאות אחרות שאין כזו חיה, מכסות לישראלים. לבתי הספר יש קווי הגדרה כלליים לגבי אחוז התלמידים הבינלאומיים או מספר הנשים וכו'.תחשבו על זה לרגע, האם עצם העובדה שנולדתם בישראל עושה אתכם מועמדים טובים יותר או טובים פחות? האוניברסיטאות מחפשות את המועמדים הטובים ביותר עבורן, וזה כלל לא משנה מהיכן הם מגיעים.
על כן, חשוב לדעת שמועמדים ישראלים מתמודדים כנגד מאגר המועמדים הכללי.
בהצלחה!

Omri,
The Johnson school offers a variety of financial loan programs. In addition to students loans which carry low interest rate, the school provides a lot of scholarships for successful candidates.
Below are my answers to your questions:
Must we have a US co-signer?
It depends on what type of financial aid program are you applying to, as well as your visa status (International student or not). There are loans for international students which DO NOT require a US co-signer.
My mother is a US citizen but she does not live there and has no credit history, does that mean that she cannot sign for me?
I do not know the answer to that question. I recommend that you address this question to the financial aid office at:[email protected]
You can learn more details through their website: http://www.johnson.cornell.edu/academic/financialaid/
What is the max we can borrow per year?
It depends on the portfolio of financial programs you apply to. I can not provide you with a specific number, but I can asure you that you can finance your tuition, housing and living expenses by using loans only.
Let me know if you have more questions.

Omer,
Invitations for inteviews are being sent all the time on regular basis. Interviews can be held in Israel only if an interviewer is available. Phone interviews are also possible, although not recommended. When scheduling an interview, you can inform the admissions representative about your preferance and they will do their best to fit the interview according to it.
Good Luck!

Ronnie,
This is a great question. There are many reasons why I chose Cornell from the options I had.
Please check out my reply to omerl from November 12 2003 (It is one of the first messages on this thread). You will find a descriptive answer there.
I will add to that and tell you that the Johnson school has a great alumni network. This is EXTREMELY important for your job search and for your personal connections. There are many alumni all over the US, working in different kinds of industries who will be willing to help you, this way or another, just because you are from the Johnson school.
A virtual tour link of Cornell's campus is added below.

Ronnie,
Below is my answer to your questions:
1. Is there a requirment in JBS from graduates that come from a non-economical backround as me (law) to take extra base courses such as statistics or micro-economics?
The answer is NO. No early requirements. I, for example, have a a Computer Sciences degree, and I came from an R&D background.
All the basic courses , the core courses, are taught during the first year, and mainly during the first semester. For those who already took the core courses during their undergraduate studies, exemption exams are provided.

Yinnon, why did you say that McK and Bain do not reqruit on-campus? I just entered the Johnson website and it says that Bain and McK will be on campus for the 2003 reqruiting. BCG will not come though…
Recruiting companies change from year to year. For those who whish to come to the Johnson school and then try to apply for a job at BCG or McKinsey, there are strong alumni connections which will put them in a good starting position. As a matter of fact, I have a few classmates who are now in the process.

The admission comitee is aware of the fact that you are going to apply to some other schools. In fact, it would be wierd if your application will indicate that GSB is the only school on your mind, and will most probably create a non relyable impression.
