Kellogg 2013 - Calling All Waitlist Applicants

So you've made a decision! Best of luck and have lots of fun!

................

Me too! Well, just to see if the previous trend holds! But looks like no one got a status change so far?

Hookemhorns - rooting for a green under your name too!

Thanks for congrat!
Status was changed to "All the required elements of your application are complete." when I checked 5 hours ago.

is this even the summer wait list

received the email...and i'm in! (2Y - R1 wl)

missed the call because i'm Sydney and i usually turn off mobile when i am sleeping

I'm extremely positive and optimistic...but this process has even made me lose my optimism. Good luck to you!

Wasn't able to post earlier, but I got the call and I'm in! So excited, and glad this roller coaster of a process is finally, truly over. Excited to put down my deposit and be done with the whole admissions process.

Congrats to all the others who got calls today and best of luck to those who are still waiting. Pulling for you all!

Z,
Kindly come to Duke. I will need a late night partner to miss bus rides with going home from shooters.
Thx

Ahh, Shooters. Just classy enough to suit me... What sort of bus leaves early like that?

I just saw the change of status. I'll look everything over and make a quick decision. I'm honestly a bit overwhelmed to have gone from no choices to 3 (now two).

If this came at the R1 deadline, I'd be at Kellogg in a split second. It's harder now that I've met so many cool Fuqua folks.

I updated our roster, but not sure about which round each person applied in since they weren't originally on there. It's just more names added to the lists who are now admitted.

Admitted off the waitlist! I also got an email saying that I was invited to remain on the wait list, but this was quickly followed up with a call from my WL manager with the great news. Best of luck to everyone waiting, stay strong.

Don't try to fill your head with percentages. As with all schools, there are no stats to lean on as to how many people get off waitlists. It all has to do with how many people applied, how many admitted have accepted the offer, etc. I know it's not what you want to hear, but it will be an exercise in futility if you try to figure it out.

That being said, I've seen some posts that have mentioned people who got accepted over the summer off the waitlist, so all is not lost. Best of luck!

Yeah, I was a R1 applicant. Looooooooong wait prior to being admitted on 5/7



Heh. I appreciate the sentiment, though some remaining Kellogg WLers may feel a bit differently

Just trying to get ducks in a row for next week. Lots of top schools have deposit deadlines. Side note: if you are deciding between Booth and kellogg, why are you considering signing a lease at Ross at this late stage?[/quote]

Hi, to answer your question, I am enrolled at Ross and just got into Booth off the waitlist. I will need to make a final decision on a school by June 5th, so I asked my waitlist manager if there was any chance I would hear from Kellogg by then. I am not deciding between Booth and Kellogg, I am deciding between Ross and Booth.

Now I'm curious... if you're just deciding between Ross and Booth, why are you staying on Kellogg's waitlist? If you know you're not going to go there, I would recommend gracefully bowing out and giving someone else your (potential) spot.[/quote]

MBA83 is exactly right. Kellogg is my first choice, so I am sorry, but I am not taking your recommendation of gracefully bowing out of the waitlist. I am choosing between Booth and Ross because I have obviously not been admitted to Kellogg...

Got it-so your talk about housing deposit was meant induce a quicker decision at your first choice. Good luk with that-lol[/quote]

Did you actually read my post?! Kellogg asked me about whether I had already signed a lease. I did not offer that information. Not sure what your agenda is, but I think if you are going to make snide remarks and "laugh out loud" you should probably read posts thoroughly. This isn't a forum for that type of attitude. We are all waitlist and hopeful that we get admitted. If you aren't gonna be supportive, this might be a bad place for you to post.

"snide"? "be supportive"? Are you serious right now? Have you ever worked at an office?
Tongue was firmly in cheek and was resorting to "gallows humor". However, now that you've called into question my reading comprehension skills-not to mention my attitude and demeanor in your role as self-anointed authority of all things internet forum, while simultaneously managing to demonstrate the very animosity you claim to be rallying against- I will note that this entire discussion was based on a rather ambiguous (I did "read" it) post you made, that I politely asked you to clarify (others did as well). Ultimately, the post had absolutely zero to offer for others and was, in fact, an attempt to force an early decision. Posting information of this type of self-centered and "one-off"/"unique" nature is neither helpful, nor in the spirit of "support". Thank you for the lecture, but please when you dismount your high horse, I would suggest replacing some of the glass panels from your house.[/quote]


Its just a little disappointing to see that tomorrow's business leaders fight over things so trivial on forums. Lets just wish Good Luck to everyone and hope that we get the results we wish for.

[quote="brandon432"]We traded voicemails last Thursday. WL manager was out of office Friday and today. I have a call scheduled for tomorrow. Hoping for the best.

Hi Brandon,
Any word here. Also, are you a local (Chicago-area) candidate?
