Sharing information is always a value, so thanks. Cornell is waiving the application fee to show support to recently laid-off workers is so American and out of touch for how you support those in need. It's even written in a way you could discern they felt pride with this offering.
Downvote on this value offering...

Cool that they're waiving the application fee, but Cornell's tuition and fees aren't exactly cheap. If you can't afford the application fee, then you can't afford their tuition. Less than a third of applicants are accepted which isn't really surprising.

Also the second year of the program is in NYC. This waiver is for people who've been laid off. Highly doubtful that they will uproot their lives, move to Ithaca for a year, then move to NYC for a year.
Now if you need a reallllllllllly good laugh today, read the annual cost. Tuition alone is over $76,000. Yeah someone laid off has $200K+ just laying around but can't afford the application fee.

This is just ridiculous.

When the average base salary of the MBA graduate at Cornell Johnson is $156,000 annually with an average signing bonus of $38,000 then the tuition is not near as big of a deal for many. How do I know? I am a Duke student and have had many conversations around this with alumni of other similar schools.

Dude,
I live near Cornell and am VERY familiar with it and their grads. This thread is about working adults who lost their jobs and are now offered a waiver on their application fees. Most working adults cannot uproot their lives and relocate to Ithaca for a year and then to NYC for a year to complete this degree. Nor do they have the funds to do so.

What does being a Duke student have to do with Cornell? Duke is in a state which is far cheaper to live in. Did you relocate to Durham to attend Duke? Do you have to live there for a year and then spend a year living in one of the most - if not the most - expensive city in the country?
