Calling all Kellogg Fall 2009 Applicants!

So I've spent the whole day today stressing about Duke's results only to get a call from Kellogg instead....

I'M IN....HOLY $#%^ ......

Sorry!! pardon my french but I'm ecstatic and over the moon....

I need to calm down and start breathing again

Regarding the question about scholarships:

If you have a major (scholarship usually named after someone) scholarship, you find out around the time you get an admit or within a week or two after admit. All other scholarships are awarded as part of the financial aid process. The soft deadline for R2 scholarship apps is April 13th. Additional details are available through the welcome website.

FYI this what Kellogg officially states:

Merit scholarships will be awarded throughout the admissions process. Some admitted students will receive an award at the time of their decision but there are many opportunities for previously admitted applicants to receive a scholarship award.

Congrats rca!!!

That's great news, happy to hear it!

Mine still says that and I have been accepted, so don't sweat it.

edit: Actually, it just changed, about 20 hours after getting in.

I'm wondering if they'll even be sending anything during the upcoming spring break. Looking at the R1 decisions they took a week or so off over the holidays even though the decision deadline was Jan 7. Perhaps they'll do that here.

I'm in!!!!!!!! Just got the call a little while ago!!! Wahoo!!!! Evanston here I come!!!

Some interesting quotes:

"emanon: What are application numbers like compared with (2008)?

BethFlyeKellogg: Applications are up slightly this year, and the pool continues to be exceptional."

"natasha19: Do you have any preliminary numbers on how the class of 2009 did securing jobs and how the class of 2010 is doing with internships?

BethFlyeKellogg: Formal and informal indicators tell us that full-time job placement for our second-year students is on a par with where it has been at this point during the past few years. We don't have formal numbers on those who have received internships at this point. Historically speaking, half our students generally secure internships after spring break. "

"ahembeea: Like most other top schools, even Kellogg experienced a rise in Round 1 applications. Has the trend continued in Round 2 and now Round 3, or has it been different?

BethFlyeKellogg: Similar to last year, we had a more pronounced increase during the first round compared with the second. "

"Wael: What is the impact of the TOEFL? Is there any minimum requirement?

BethFlyeKellogg: The TOEFL is one element that we examine when assessing an applicant's English language communication skills. There is no minimum requirement, and we also take into account the interview and essays when evaluating this area."

I'm in for Kellogg R1 as well.

Well you are officially the first applicant. mgoblue2 and myself are both going to be members of the class of 2010.

count me in for R1.

Keep a roll call together and we can add it to the top of the post. With Kellogg its good to keep updated since they roll out decisions.

Definitely in for R1!!

I am in for R1. Stuck with the essays though.....question for you River, in essay 1, what should be the ratio of brief carrier progrees, future career plan and why Kellogg?

I'm in for round 1 at Kellogg as well

Count me in too...

good luck everyone!

Kellogg R1

Good luck everyone!

I'm currently starting with Columbia ED essays, cause I'd like to submit as early as possible, but I'm looking forward to Kellogg's application... one of the most comprehensive.

Cheers
