2nd date change in a row 12/13, after a lull of 6 weeks


moving on to 12/13, a date-change every day over the last week.

Work week starts in UAE on Sunday and I am already in office. Feeling numb, no focus. Can't wait for this to get over. :x

Has anyone gotten a response yet or are we all going to know on Dec 17th?
as if the adcoms are going to give any explanation other than a system glitch

I think he meant an acceptance/rejection. Not a theory.

Everyone is supposed to get a decision on the 17th. But here's to hoping they start surprising some people earlier!!

Where did you get 300+ for JD mba just curious. I don't see this info anywhere on the web. 300+ for 30 seats is kinda scary and is definitely nowhere close to being "comparable" to other programs as the adcoms claim.
kelloggcookiemonster check this link
https://www.top-law-schools.com/forums/v ... 2&t=116461
discussion was about JD/MBA in law forums. Though the link given in one of the posts doesn't work today, it might have worked during 2010 (as its official northwestern link).
The guy who posted the data from the link mentioned 246 applicants, 36 admits (14.6% acceptance rate) for Northwestern JD/MBA in 2010. I kept it roughly at 300 as it's a figure reported 4 years back..

12/13 at this end too. Looking at the high number of people with video essay date changes everyday, I feel that we are all dinged or the video essay date is seriously a glitch.
May be the applications are clubbed in pools based on GMAT scores, industry, location, Adcom member, interview dates etc. and when they are accessing that pool to review candidates, the dates are changes for all.
Does anybody notice any similarity in the change of dates among applicants?

I'm one of those people whose date was constant at 28/11....until 12/12 (which is when probably EVERYONE here saw a video essay date update). After 12/12, mine has changed to 13/12 and now is 14/12. 3 days to go until we can put an end to this useless speculation.

I hate myself for stressing out about the video essay date changes, but I can't seem to stop obsessing over it like everyone else. I really hope Kellogg fixes this glitch before R2 - it'll save them a lot of heartburn and time. I foresee an absolute lack of productivity from my end until decisions are announced! I hope you guys are doing much better. :)

Mine changed to 12/14 this morning as well.

I have given up on theories as different theories being thrown around (including my own) have put me in the admit/wait list/ding category at some point or another.

It is nice to know, however, that there are others obsessing over the minute details like me.

Best of luck to everyone over the next few days!

Mine has been updating daily since 12/12 (previous date change was 11/23).

Before we get all excited about date changes, I think we need to determine if there is anybody out there whose date didn't change.

Is there anybody out there that doesn't have a December update?

I'll add another data point to the pool.

Updated 11/15 then at some point today 12/12

Since then it has updated yesterday (12/13) and today (12/14). I can't stop checking the date, even through I have no idea what the change means. It is the only source of information before the calls/emails/website updates happen next week. It is too much for this type - A personality to ignore :)

I'm at 12/14 too. I've been 11/25, 12/11, 12/12, and 12/14. I've given up on this being connected to admissions decisions as well... To me it looks like it is a glitch. Doesn't make it sense it would update on Sunday? Best of luck everyone! Two days left...

Date change to 12/14 from 12/12.


I'm in the same boat as you - 12/12 then 12/14..has to be a glitch. I'm sure people are in certain "pools", but the system also has to have a glitch. I don't think they are working on Sunday morning.

I submitted my video essay on 26 th September but today when I logged in to check status it says - received on 15 th October .

Any body else with similar issue. I am worried this might push me in next round.

Any suggestions??

Posted from my mobile device

Ah good catch. I just checked mine as well. I submitted my video essay on 1st October (last day), and mine shows up received on 13th October. I think this somehow reflects when the adcom have actually viewed the video essay. I'm pretty sure we are being considered for R1.

As we come near the end of our wait, let's take a look back at where this all started

Haha.. So I was the person who first took a stab at giving a theory for the date change. Sorry guys. It's been a heartburn for all of us.

This is my current theory. The date changes are really a glitch and have nothing to do with a/d/wl. Also, everyone on this forum gets an admit!
