Got a status change this morning that notified me that I was wait listed. Kellogg and Ross are top choices. Called to talk with WL coordinator and they said to call back after April 2.

Does everyone who got in have an updated status? Did your status end up changing eventually? Anyone else waiting longer than the 24 hours mentioned in the admit email for the status to change? Posted from my mobile device

"Good night, Westley. Good work. Sleep well. I'll most likely kill you in the morning." The B School Application process reminds me more of The Machine from the Princess Bride that takes years off one's life. And some of the harder GMAT quant questions were like getting in a battle of wits with a Sicilian when death is on the line.

i think that all of us still waiting have good chances of being accepted.
Most of my friends who applied have already received either a ding or a wait list notification...that leaves us few remaining with good perspectives...at least thats how I see it
Am i stupidly optimistic?...

There is plenty of reason to still be very optimistic. Lots of people haven't heard yet. People should not start to worry until Friday at 5pm. Posted from my mobile device

Is the Kellogg Admissions staff in the office on Wednesday's? I know they don't offer tours, but thought that might explain no one hearing anything today. Posted from my mobile device

Posted from my mobile device I think the lack of tours is more because Kellogg does not have class on Wednesdays (it's their interview/study day). No class means less students around to lead tours, no classroom visits, etc... I would assume the Admissions office works 5 days a week, whether its M,T,Thr-Sat, or M-F I don't know for sure. Another possibility is that they have two main decision blocks. Day 1 is people they want for sure (thus all the admits). Day 2 is for people they don't want for sure (biggest block of Dings so far) and admits they did not get to in Day 1. And Day 3 could be people they are on the fence about or people that are from over-represented groups/backgrounds/interests. The Admin could be going under its final review today which would leave a big round o admits tomorrow, Dings Friday, and a mix of Dings/WL on Monday, the official decision date. Just a guess. most schools' official statements are how early/late in the wave you get your interview invite/acceptance isn't indicative of your application/candidacy strength. but i think it's so bizarre the way they're releasing the decisions...don't schools decide with the entire class in mind? the way they're doing all types of decisions each day makes me wonder if they're actually making individual decisions daily, which i feel is unlikely. your theory certainly makes a lot of sense for the way they're operating. how did it play out round 1? they also started releasing decisions a week early right? were there still acceptances at the tail end and did any of those admits receive scholarships?

From my limited investigation of Round 1, I found only one acceptance reported on Wed (so Admissions is open on that day), followed by a series of WLs or dings until decision day. But this round should have at least 25% more applicants so the pattern need not necessarily repeat.
I really hope some of us hear good news. This is no fun.

I agree Cyrnaxdawl, especially for a school like Kellogg where community and diversity of the group is one of its key success factors. That doesn't happen by accident or luck, so they just have to have a master plan in place and be using these final days to fine tune or check the lists. Kellogg's mode of releasing calls in stages just seems like a carry over to the pre-internet days, when applicants just waited for thick packages or thin reject letters in the mail. They may know at most one or two other applicants so there would not be nearly as much anxiety over not being notified day 1. The approach of most schools: call everyone in one day (or at least try) and email everyone at once the following day seems the most humane way to do it. Although I now have a whole new set of stress to deal with over the WL, it is a relief not having to wait for the ax to drop with every new email I get.

Ding from Kellogg. At this point, my only reaction is "Whatever ...".
