I am a waitlist candidate. According to wait-list e-mail, wait-listed candidates receive status update at each decision deadline.

I did not receive any update.

Waitlisted without interview.

I havent heard of any converts of waitlist w.o i/v...

All the best to others!

I haven't received any electronic confirmation of the financial aid/fellowship offer. I would imagine we would get a hard copy mailed to us next week, but that is solely based on my experience with other MBA programs. Does anyone else know for certain?

They didn't mention that anything would be in the mail...

I was waitlisted again.

WTF, how do you even hesitate to take Kellogg...either they didn't throw any $ and you're hoping ND does or you like ND (fit) way better than Kellogg, but man...it's a hard school to reject once admitted. No one asked but...my 2 cents

Well, depends on what you want to do, ND is unparalleled in student environment, this I have seen personally and you know it. Kellogg sounds to me a bit pretentious but well, it's a top-tier school (not that ND isn't, honestly) and has street credibility to behave a bit snotty. Even so, I would frankly never pass on Kellogg to go to ND

I am going to an equally ranked school (as ND) after being dinged by ND. Funny how life is, I make the trip to ND, loved the place, perfect fit (to both parties) but my GMAT's too low for them. The other school interviews me by phone (not even Skype) and throws away 50% scholarship...both are equally ranked and I fit perfectly so I'm happy. ND is a great school though and perhaps my ding has me biased. But Kellogg...is Kellogg.

Whatever road you choose, I'm sure you'll do great. Congratulations on such an achievement, I wish you lots of success!

Congratulations! Are you planning on matriculating?

I've been hearing that often lately. I guess I'm wrong for even considering other schools once accepted to Kellogg. But I can tell you that at this point an offer from Ross would not tempt me nearly as much as one from Mendoza. All rankings aside, the ND atmosphere is much friendlier than UMich, their program seems more diverse, and they ask more of business than profit, which is huge to me. Nothing more needs to be said about Kellogg, it's top-notch.

Thanks for the opinion. I'm a 90% Kellogg lean until further notice.[/quote]

I think it's all about fit. Personally for me the family aspect of Menodza and the overall attitude of the school is a huge motivating factor. On top of that they are doing a lot of great things at the school and everyone I have spoken with there loves it. It's a very personal decision. I think the "WTF" is a bit over the top, but I see your later response so I suppose that'll happen. Anyway, all that being said, good luck with all the tough choices, there is no wrong decision.

I would like to know the logic behind continuing to push back the last deadline.

Either they are hoping some of their better candidates will accept offers after being rejected by the Tier 1 schools, or they are simply not getting the caliber of applicants they were hoping for. Maybe both?

ND has a good reputation, but continuing to push back the deadline leads one to wonder.
