Calling all Kellogg Fall'08 applicants

They are loving the high score americans so far. This should give a lot of hope to internationals since they are going to make up about 35% of the class. Without any known acceptances for international applicants there are going to be tons coming out. Judging by all the info I could find about acceptances by Kellogg, its like a bell curve. Slow at first picks up pace peaks and then tapers off again.

Last year GMATClub had a ton of success with Kellogg, not in R1 but definitely in R2. R1 actually sucked but not many people seemed to apply

R2 out of 18 applicants, 11 admits, 2 WL, and 5 dings...now I dont think either of the WL got in but still thats a 61% acceptance rate.

I bet R1 will be a lot like last years R2...too many talented people to not have a bunch of acceptances here.

61% admit rate last year? WOW! Nice! I always knew GMATClubbers were a talented bunch!

A ray of hope for me..

That's good news, it's just the start of December so there's plenty of time.

Ok so a quick look at admissions411 seems to have an interesting trend (most likely means absolutely nothing). 4 out of the 7 have 740s, thats 4 out of 9 people on there with 740s that got in. The 7th person added is also american (caucasian at that). Now obviously that wont continue since they are going to want to increase diversity. Careers are pretty diverse though, people from all sorts of fields...no real pattern there.

As of right now the Mean is 736 and the Median is 740.
Mean age is 26.6 and the mean is 26. (add a year to those for ages next year at matriculation and it seems to be inline with the current age and experience level)

BW is a little different though the a female has w/ a 710 and only 2 years experience so she seems to be an odd ball in both gmat and age. However, there is also another person who would be 26+ and also has a 740, that makes people with a 740 5 for 10. Both BW people were bankers.

Would the results continue to be declared after the school breaks for winter.

Most schools dont allow interviews/campus visits in the winter breaks. I would love for it to be otherwise.

Do you guys know what recommendation form looks like for Kellogg?

Can we see that career progress survery??

Enjoy!

muchus gracious.. !!!!

you are the best!

They stated on BW they will continue to send out acceptance but wont be sending out dings over the holidays...I guess thats nice that they wont be spoiling peoples christmas.

I got my "K-Bud" today, I guess they pair you up with current students who you can ask questions of and talk to...part of their way of getting people to matriculate I guess. If anyone has any extremely pressing questions about Kellogg not related to the application, I will try to get an answer for you.

There is another Admit for Kellogg (not mine though ).

The first international admit goes to..
dms Northwestern (Kellogg) 1 750 Consulting Brazil 27 Male Japanese 11/12/2007 Admitted

Someone else has to be next. Come on guys, I hope this is the week someone more people here will join me. I am pulling for all of you. I want to be able to hang out with some gmatclubbers during admit weekend.

And another admit just showed up... (another private profile with 740 GMAT)

Its amazing so far that 740 and 750 gmats are dominating. 5 out of 10 740s have gotten in and only one person below 740. Yes Admissions411 is a very poor representation but still. There has been an international which is a good sign.

so much ado abt GMAT score not mattering..

I know they have been saying they have been sending out dings but I didn't really believe it since I had not heard of a single one but someone just posted on the BW board they were dinged.

are you saying 740/750 arent good scores?
