Calling all Kellogg Fall'08 applicants

quoted for truth!

Life's pieces of paper just keep getting bigger with time.

Checked my delievery confirmation # on the post office site. My paperwork got there ontime...not that it really matters but now they say it should be done by mid to late March, instead of god knows how long.

Did you follow up with the fin aid office? I think I should probably do that...

Dinged!!!!

Tough break nupurgupt, better luck with the rest of your decision.

Steel, I didnt call them and probably wont, my packaged arrived. If they are missing something they will let me know I am sure. I will call in three or four weeks if I havent heard anything and everyone else has their packages.

Sorry to hear that nupur- good luck with the rest of your apps.

Looks like today is another ding day...a bunch reported on b-week as well.

well if u ask me..Kellogg must have come to know about your HBS invite.. after all we havent seen case when a person was admitted to HBS and Kellogg..

Good luck with your other apps. I am sure you will end up at one of the big 3

Sorry to hear, nupurgupt.

Seems like K is rolling out decisions for those who interviewed before Feb, with some exception of course. Day like this I can't focus at work, particularly when I don't feel good about my K interview.

Good luck for those waiting (including me)!!!!

unlucky nupurgupt.

I`m also, waiting for my decision still. I`m guessing im not a sure fire ding because of my 610 GMAT, otherwise i would have been dinged by now

sorry to hear that nupur...

Sorry about the ding, nupurgupt! There is still Harvard A lot of people will kill to have an interview with HBS. I hope HBS will come through for you!

On a side note, I got a provisional finaid package via e-mail. The good news is that I received a $13K Sears scholarship. Not sure what that is, really, as I have neither experience nor desire to go into Retail... I'm not complaining though

River, call Julie Israel regarding your package. She was VERY nice when I called her today and made sure that Kellogg had all of my docs. She also asked that I'd give her a call if I didn't get an email by tomorrow.

has anyone with less than 3 years work experience been admitted to Kellogg so far? I may be wrong but among the top schools they seem to go for more mature candidates

I met some people at DAK that had 2 to 4 years WE. There is one couple that my wife and I spent a bunch of time talking to since he was in my section and she was with my wife looking at dog friendly housing. That said there were a lot of folks in the 5-7 years experience too, so it goes both ways. I did meet several folks with 10+ years and so to keep that average around 5 years they have to accept people with only a few years experience.


Congrats on the scholarship, I was told by a couple students that they have a lot of corporate scholarships that they do not put on their list. Wasnt sure how true that is but I guess you proved that. I think a lot of marketing people go into the retail side, I met one 2nd year who was going to be a buyer at Target and a couple others that had internships with places like Walmart and other large retailers...so it could be your interest in marketing that helped secure that. That adds another wrinkle in your decision process huh?

Here's to hoping that the rest of us admits that havent gotten our packages have some luck like you three have had so far.

So is it a done deal for Kellogg nervous.. after all.. kellogg did dole out a lot of change

congrats nervous! is that a $13k/year or $13K total scholarship?
