Calling all Kellogg Fall 2011 Applicants!

still waiting. oy vey

Waitlisted...

Hmm...that does seem odd. If you don't get into any of your other top choice schools I'd say a ding analysis from one of the consulting services might be worth your time and money before starting next year's round of applications.

Congrats...that's the best feeling of all! I am not sure whether I should even bother with the Kellogg waitlist or just take the money from Booth and run

Michmax. Sorry to hear about the waitlist! But heck you've got Booth - the #1 school right now.

The question is - do you really prefer Kellogg? If so, then I'd say stay on the waitlist. The worst that can happen is you put your deposit in at Booth, get into Kellogg, and lose a few K. That's less than ideal - but consider how much you're spending on an MBA - the lost deposit is a rounding error. And you'd get a crack at your top choice school.

Just my $.02

I'm not too worried about the deposit, I mean if I decide I'm prepared to give up 40k to go there, I don't think 41k would be the breaking point, it's just whether I want to give up the 40k. Not only that, but I want to start getting on with my plans and the thought of continuing this process, sending updates, possibly hanging on all summer waiting for a decision everyday sounds awful. I've been stressed enough just the last 2 weeks. I haven't been to either school so my only reasons for prefering Kellogg is the #1 marketing strength and a reputation for being a more cohesive group. But I think I will have great opportunities at Booth also, and actually have been kind of excited at the thought of living downtown in a big city! I've done the suburb thing all my life.

I think at this point I will stay on the waitlist until after Booth's admit weekend, but I'm 95% sure it's Booth for me, and I'm happy with that

Michmax3,

Sorry to hear about the waitlist, hope you get off the WL and become a member of class of 2013. You would be an asset to any BSchool. Booth is a great place and you will experience a fine education with some scholarship no less. I heard from a brand manager that Booth is more than just finance and is well regarded in marketing, particularly in data-driven analysis. The marketing curriculum at Booth is impressive.

Too bad Michmax, because Booth is really just a crappy school. The new state-of-the-art building is horrible and pointless. The new cafeteria is disgusting and.... oh hell I can't say any of this with a straight face.

Congrats either way chica!

FIFY.

lol...all I'm saying is this rumor that Booth is not fun ends here, I will definitely bring the party! :

Ooops, my bad. I fixed it. BRING IT MICHMAX!

GO Boothies!!

Congratulations to all the Kellogg admits.

Now if you will be attending Kellogg, please post here

Otherwise, Jerz is going to get mad. Kellogg and Booth traditionally go neck and neck for sending most ppl to each program every yr in this forum......

(running away before Jerz finds this post)

all quiet on the Kellogg front?

Seems like it...I've still been unable to clarify my status online ("system is unable to determine etc etc"), although I got the email saying my decision is available over a week ago. Called AdCom again and they asked that I wait till the end of the week, which is over but oh well

Congrats to all the admits, and not just those of Kellogg! Outside of Kellogg, my dilemma is that I got into Booth w. $$ and got waitlisted at Wharton. I'll be submitting my Booth deposit, but the question is really should I mentally accept Booth so I can move on with my life, or should I wait till May 12 to hear from Wharton and deal with another 1.5 months of uncertainty?

I am waiting, but just wonder that the decision on Mar 28 will only be dinged or it can be both of them???

I'm in the same boat as you. Honestly, I think the decision can be anything.
