Does anyone know what time Kellogg is posting decisions tomorrow for Round 2 FT MBA?

It'll mostly be 9 am CT based on reports from Round 1. They'll invite you for a Zoom call via email/text. Hope this helps.

Also from what I see from Round 1 this Zoom call will be a group call(with other admitted applicants) and not an individual call.

I don't think so. From the decision tracker, I see that most. of the admitted applicants for the 1 yeat program heard their decision through email or portal update. It may be different this time but that is what happened for Round 1

It is better to ask an admissions consultant I guess since it is a new program. FYI, we are doing an open Q&A with SiaAdmissions on Zoom on April 5th. You can join and ask any questions you may have regarding your profile, Business schools choice etc. You can register for the session at the following link

ishallwin907, This is the first year for the MBAi program.. so there is absolutely no past record of the competition, the class profile etc ... but given it is a small program I am guessing that competition would have been pretty tough and R3 is definitely not ideal... if you can afford to wait another year, then apply for the 2022 intake for better odds of admission...

My only worry is that the next session will start Fall 22 and I hope to get into a school before that. That’s why was contemplating, if I should take a chance this year
