Kellogg 2012 - Calling All Waitlist Applicants

noooooo.....the wait is excruciating

i spoke with my waitlist manager a week and a half ago and she told me that she would send me an update on the 24th (tomorrow)....we will see if that happens, but look at everyone elses responses, i doubt it

Damn, hopefully I get some kind of correspondence at least staying they are still waiting to make a decision.

I did miss 2 calls of the last 2 weeks from random numbers in the midwest. Both times I called back got a message saying the voicemail box was full. The guys name (first name) was the same as my waitlist coordinator but its a generic name. No voicemail either. Was kind of hoping it was good news, but since I have not heard anything since, I am guessing it was just a missed call.

Well, I've been trying to get in touch with my WL manager but to no avail..I called up several times over the past 15 days and also left a voicemail couple of times..I'm hesitant to call up any further, that would be just borderline stalking! Guess I just have to wait for a return call..

my WL manager has always responded and been very supportive, I guess I lucked out...lets see if he gives me the good news...

any movement so far today?

I was finally able to speak to my wait list contact last week. She told me that in general those who are placed on the wait list fall into 1 of 2 buckets. 1. Application is good, but the admissions committee wants to see who accepts and the application field of the second round. 2. Admission committee requires additional information. She said I actually fell in both buckets and that I needed to clarify my goals. I submitted a supplemental essay on Sunday and she informed me that it would be included in their review for today's decision but made me aware that I may not receive any decision today. (Which I haven't received anything yet)

That being said, if you didn't hear back from your wait list coordinator it probably just means that your application is fine but they're still analyzing the applicant field. Good luck people!

^^ I spoke with my WM earlier today and was told the exact same thing regarding the two reasons for being on the waitlist. I was asked not to submit any additional material since the ad-com did not have any concerns with any part of the app.

My WM did say that they would be releasing some decisions today. These would mostly be for those applicants who had been asked to submit something specific. Some more decisions might be released later this week. A bulk of the decisions would only be released on or leading up to Feb 14th.

^Congrats.

Congratulations to both of the new admits!!

Celebrate and then remember to pray for your fellow ex-waitlisters..

Congrats Guys! At least there is some good news. I wonder if there are any dings today...

I sent an update on 01/13. I was advised to expand on my career goals and the transition points in my career. I submitted that information in addition to some general updates on some projects I am working on in my current job.

Hello Everybody,
I am from India. I had applied to the MMM program at Kellogg in R1. I was on the WL. Today I got an email stating that I have been admitted to the Kellogg. Like all of you, I had spent very anxious moments leading upto this date, but luckily something clicked and they let me in. I am thanking my stars for the good luck and wish you all good luck.

Congrats to all the admits!!!!

For those who are still waiting, has your status changed?

no change on my end...

COngratulations on your admit!!!
I also applied to the MMM program in R1 and was waitlisted. No updates for me!!

Did you send an update email or did you get a specific feedback from the adcom?
