Calling all Kellogg Fall'08 applicants

Was a productive day for me! Mailed my deposit, secured a roommate, and found leads on an apartment

Sure, that`ll be cool. One thing i won`t have to worry about now is loans.
We ought to have some sort of networking function within GMATclub... almost like a GMAT Club Alumni network.

Tons of dings on BW today, hope you guys survived the latest round.

I feel bad for them.. I am still on board though - THank GOD!..

With decision day on Monday, we only have 1.5 more days left.

Riverripper, did you see admits on the last day in Rd1?

I'm not River, but I personally met a guy at DAK who got a phone call at 5PM CST on the LAST day.

Faceman got called at 5:50pm est on decision day. So people definitely get in up until the last last second. No matter what, once you are in you are in. No difference between the person admitted first or last.

Good luck guys, there is still time.

Thanks for the insight. I'm eagerly waiting for decisions on multiple schools and I'd love to go to Kellogg.

hang tight everyone, I'm sure there will be a few more of you I'll see at DAK

After seeing the USnews ranking, it seems to have put to rest the rumors that Kellogg would be falling in the rankings. It seems like there was a lot said this year about how Kellogg image was starting to suffer. I was always curious where this perception came from, other than maybe just internet chatter. They still did excellent with recruiters and peer views, the only thing that trails is the overall salary which can be explained by so many folks compared to other schools heading to Marketing and other GM type positions where the pay is 10k+ less than IB and MC jobs.

I think that this will have a positive affect next year. Going 5 to 4 is not huge but I think if they had gone 5 to 6 people would have jumped all over that. Showing just a slight uptick proves that its brand is not weakening as seemed to be a fairly common statement this year.

I am very glad to see that Kellogg has "moved up" to its rightful place, tied with MIT and GSB. The three schools are solidly the next "sub-tier" behind H/S/W, even exceeding Wharton in some fields (tech, marketing). Glad the whole "dropping" rumor got dispelled.

Thanks for the well wishes Kry! I took the day off to celebrate and for the first time in months did not log into GMAT club!!

For those of you still waiting, I wish you lots of luck in the final few days!! I'm sure there is still good news to come =)

Alright R1 deposits are due Wednesday (the 2nd) so deposits should be mailed in tomorrow or tuesday if you like pushing the limit and plan on spending $20 to overnight it.

Who we dont know about yet:
nervousgmat: ??? you mail that check yet?

Already made their decisions.
RiverRipper: Matriculating
mba2010: Matriculating
faceman: Matriculating
ApolloLuna: Matriculating
CfaMiami: Matriculating
steel: Matriculating
MGOBLUE2: Matriculating
BCC145: ACCEPTED Withdrawn for Wharton

Not sure I really think Kellogg has 'moved up'...i think its held fairly steady right behind H/S/W.

I think the real mover up in the past 5-10 years has been GSB. And the real move down has been Columbia. GSB's new facility, the hiring away of Rose, and events like GSB Live show its committment to recruiting. What other M7 recruits as well as GSB? I tip my hat off to the school for putting resources into improving its perception.

Agreed, Kellogg has always been a top 5 school, well at least as long as I can find rankings. It just seemed this year a lot of folks online were saying its standing was starting to fall but I think thats probably a function of dropping in the USnews and BW during the last ranking.

A lot of schools could definitely learn something about recruiting from GSB.

no news from the remaining people waiting?

Looks like lots of GMAT clubbers there. Hopefully i`ll be there in a years time on exchange

Lebcar and jenjen werent active posters so its not surprising we dont know what their decision is. I am interested to hear where nervous stands since she just was at Duke's admit weekend. I guess she will let us know if Kellogg gets that $1,000 check...she can always change her mind after the deposit though.
