Good luck to all you Nervous Nellies awaiting the first cut of HBS invites today! Remember, if you need a refresher on how all of this works, simply scroll back on the blahg to this point in Round 1 (early October 2015 which is currently here). We threw out some (unexpected) names of two schools…

Why do you think Johnson doesn’t get as much love as other schools??

@Robocop – it’s a good question! Part of it is that Cornell wasn’t getting much love from the rankings publications for lots of years (which makes it a vicious cycle in keeping apps down). The biggest drawback we hear is that Ithaca is just too removed. It’s really an issue for people coming to bschool with partners; there’s nowhere for the partners to work in the surrounding vicinity, and it’s a real b!tch to get to Ithaca from the major metropolitan areas. Tuck and Darden also suffer from this, and Duke too (lack of a major airport), but Cornell has it the worst. Of course, that remote location can be a real advantage, if you ask us! It forces you to focus on school.
