For round 1 applicants we kindly request that you wait until the week of January 7 to contact our office." - We wait this long to say we want to remain on the list (after finding out who our manager is) or do we send a quick e-mail saying I'm in and then call them on the 7th to find our manager and start discussing next steps?? Hoping we all get in - best of luck.I haven't seen a thread out there yet for us Kellogg waitlist folk so here goes.

Yeah, it looks like I am still on the waitlist. Nothing has changed

I still have the March 21st waitlist letter.

anybody notice how the waitlist FAQ has now changed?

https://www.kellogg.northwestern.edu/Pro ... tlist.aspx

How has the process changed for those who were waitlisted in round 1 or round 2?
Rather than set specific waitlist release dates, the admissions committee will periodically make decisions. In the next few weeks, if you remain on the waitlist you will receive an email with the option to continue on the summer waitlist.

I wonder if they will at least send us an email like they did on April 16th saying we were still in the wait list...

I wish the schools would be more transparent on their wait list procedures and give people statistics to base their next few months decision with. We are left completely on the limbo here.

It sucks...

Hey Castor! Congratulations! A great sigh of relief I'm sure after 2 long years.

Hope you don't mind me asking, what does your "check application status" page say now? Has it been updated?

Thanks!

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

Castor-your profile says you are in Kellogg '14. Did you apply to 1-year program or two? Info would be helpful. Thanks!

Said in an earlier post - applying for 1Y.

Doesn't seem like any 2Y applicants have heard anything? Any status changes for 2Y-ers??

Congrats!!

I'll ask the question that everyone is no doubt dying to know...did your status change earlier today or not? Do you still have the 21 March waitlist letter showing?

Sorry - I was too excited and should've mentioned. My status did not change and my WL manager said it would not change until at least tomorrow. So I still have the WL page as my status. I actually haven't checked myself, but she told me that was and would be the case.

Thanks for letting us know, that gives me (and probably others) some hope!
