Best of luck all. I am going for the January 4th/winter start. I interviewed on August 19th with my full application (e.g LORs) being done on September 7th. Definitely hoping to hear this month!

I think the winter 2021 deadline was Sept 30th, 2020.

Nikhil · Answer

narwal You are correct. I have edited my mistake in the first post. Thank you

rball9 · Answer

Officially crossed the 8 week after interview with no decision threshold. Called and got the guidance that they can definitely go over 8 weeks which is good to know.

After talking with the person over the phone, they suggested and I proceeded to request an expedited decision per deadlines from other programs. Hopefully will hear within 1-2 weeks as it’s felt like a long 8 weeks of waiting!

Interviewed on Oct 8th and got an admit on Oct 20th for Winter quarter.

bgwall13 · Answer

I interviewed on September 29th. Still Waiting on a decision. I am targeting the Evening Program.

syr15 · Answer

With so few responses in this thread, seems like almost nobody is hearing back from Kellogg yet. That, or maybe a bunch of the admits were pushed from the summer/fall quarters.

chicagomba22 · Answer

I interviewed on October 22 and am still awaiting a response for Fall 2021 Evening.

KC2020mba · Answer

I interviewed for the evening accelerated program (winter 2020 start) on August 31st and am still awaiting a decision. Crossed the 8 week mark earlier this week and sent an email in attempt to get an update. They got back to me today saying that I can expect a decision on my application in the next couple of weeks.

Hopefully some responses start to come in in the next week or so then.

KC2020mba · Answer

Just got the call that I was accepted for winter!

chicagomba22 · Answer

Congrats!!! Do you mind to share any of your stats and if anything jumped out to you before you got the call (i.e. changes to the Applicant Status Portal)?

KC2020mba · Answer

Thank you! This was actually the third time I've applied to the program.

Attempt 1: Summer 2019 with GMAT 590 (Q38, V33, I8) - Interviewed, was waitlisted and then denied. 
Attempt 2: Summer 2020 reapplied with GMAT waiver - No interview, denied. I was scheduled to take the GMAT in early May and was planning to apply for Fall 2020, but due to COVID I couldn't get an in-person test date. I eventually took the exam in June.
Attempt 3: Winter 2021 submitted application in full on August 18th with GMAT 690 (Q46, V38, I7), interviewed on August 31 with an alum and was told I should hear something in 2-8 weeks. It took 9.5 weeks to get a decision.

White/F/early 30s. GPA 3.5 from southeastern state school with a B.S. in education. I have been in management positions in Non-profit and higher ed for the past 10yrs. My EC leadership experience is pretty solid; I sit on several professional and alumni boards.

No heads up or indication that the call was coming, other than their email reply last week that said that said I should hear something in a couple of weeks. There is still no change in my application portal.

chicagomba22 · Answer

Just wondering if anyone has had any updates lately. I have seen a few small changes on my Application Portal, but still no communication.

Jayjay54 · Answer

Just submitted as a deferred candidate with gmat waiver, this is my third round! Hope this is the last.

Good luck everyone!

Sorry to hear that, bro.
What is your profile, if you don't mind sharing(?)
Good luck for the rest of the applications.

sichauha · Answer

Have any R2 results come out yet?

By experience, does Kellogg expedite decisions if I reach out? I am in the boat wherein I have to respond to another admit and potentially miss out on results from where all I applied.
