I just don't get it, how is a profile and essay good enough for Ross but not for Kelley, why do they have to decide (read assume) that we are keeping them as a secondary option? Why can't someone even after having the best profile have Kelley as his/her priority.


Well... there are some schools of thought about dings of qualified candidates. I remember an applicant who got into HBS but got dinged from Anderson years ago... Was a case study of unfairness :lol: and made every single dinged applicant feel a lot better about their dings.

This was not due to the fact that they were not "good enough" for Anderson and good enough for HBS but rather Anderson knowing this person would not attend unless they got a huge scholarship + more money and likely would still not attend. Instead they may choose to offer the money to someone who would love to attend their program and not put another ding into the yield ratio. Schools often have a pretty darn good sense if you are their target, their stretch, or a safety. Then they work hard to convince people to attend their program. Even thous who got into Ross, likely applied to Fuqua, Tuck, Darden, and Stern. In case of the Anderson applicant, they applied due to their location (LA Based and wanted to have a local option to consider... they did not need to with an HBS admit and others as well.)

P.S. To add, situations like these (Admitted to HBS and dinged at Anderson) happen VERY infrequently. This was a situation from 5 or 8 years ago and it is still the most memorable. The next most memorable after that was 2019 when a Haas WL was admitted in R3 with $80K in scholarship money. :shock:

BB, What are the odds of waitlist (after interview) getting converted into an admit at Kelly?

In my letter it is mentioned that I have received Forte Fellowship in the amount of full tuition each year in the program. What does this exactly mean? What is the exact amount?

Will the waitlist to admit conversion decision come directly after the last round in May/June or it may come earlier too?

Congrats on the full ride! Seems like exact amount would be around $53k each year/$106k over the 2 years.

The UPS package will have the same information you got in mail. It will take minimum 10 days to get delivered in India(I don’t know your current location, I will be receiving it today as I am here in Bloomington). You create the login( info in the admit mail) and accept the invite if you want. Join the GroupMe( follow the link provided in Janice’s scholarship mail). The physical document which got dispatched will be used during your visa interview.

You can request Janice but general response is NO. Sometimes they consider if you give gmat again and get the higher score than your current score but even then it’s not a guarantee.
