It is Feb 15-17th. Its in the package they email to you. I haven't heard how you reserve your spot. Someone asked the question on their admitted student board, which is not very active yet so something tells me a lot of people haven't gotten their packages yet.

Email or mail?

My mail package was just a leather padfolio with a few letters and forms. I must have missed the DAK notification. It still says stay tuned on the website but I was hoping to book soon since flights are only $279 from SFO.

its on the back of the Welcome to the Kellogg School of Management pamphlet (the one with the people on the stage on cover). I read everything there a few times before I found it.

I think my wife and I are going to be flying in on Thursday and out either sunday night or monday morning.

Nervous, I just saw your profile on AskAccepted and saw Paul's response. I laughed out loud. I know why Paul responded the way he did, but I guess this just goes to prove we should always apply to our top choices, however low we think the odds are.

Quote:
I think your odds are decent to good that one or more of the schools you listed will admit you, though I think your odds at Kellogg are lowest because of the weak extracurriculars (and would probably advise against applying there).

Good point, hsampath. I was pretty discouraged after seeing Paul's response about my chances at Kellogg but decided to apply anyway, highlighting my stronger points in application. And it worked!

Lesson learned: apply where your heart is. Regardless of how successful or unsuccessful you are, at least you will know that you tried.

So, today was the only day I somehow managed to forget about my cell phone. I left it in the pocket of my coat. At 4:55 it occurs to me that I haven't seen it for the entire day. At 4:56 I see a missed call from an 847 number. I get excited but then calm myself down because I know that a call should come from the "unknown" number. Nevertheless, I still listen to the voice-mail and guess what I hear???

" I am very excited to let you know that you were admitted to the 2-year program."
I start jumping up and down while my coworkers stare at me like “what is wrong on with you?”.

I AM ADMITTED TO KELLOGG!!! HOLY SH*T!!!

The call came in at 3:15 EST.

CONGRATS!!! WE ARE GOING TO BE HUGE IN CHICAGO!

Now that you are into Kellogg, and your area of interest is general management, want to throw in an app for Harvard for R2? (I think your profile is great, btw, not sure why you aren't applying unless you already determined it wasnt the right fit for you)

wow, that snippet from Paul is a gem! I remember the first time I got his response and he pretty much said I have no chance at Stanford, barely any chance at Haas and Kellogg, and a big *maybe* at UCLA. Of course, that all may still come true, but I really want to disprove him like nervous did here!!! 8-)

Nervous, I think you need to write your "story" especially after reading pauls comments on your chances. It really does go to show that people should take a chance and just apply where they want.

You know I am really hoping my Chicago GSB R2 app is successful simply for the reason that there will be so many wonderful gmatclubbers in the Chicago region (both at Kellog and Chicago GSB).

Better not show this thread to my wife then...you can have fun at a sausagefest though. I will tell you what a marketing class is like when your classmates are a bunch of women who worked in fashion, luxury goods, and beauty products. :-D
