Is it a good time to share an important update with the Ad Com i.e. post the interview? I havent in the past gotten involved with community services. I now have a chance to spend 3 weeks with an educational not for profit. Is it a good idea to share this update with the adcom?


If you are going to spend 3 weeks (in the future) I feel that is not something you should share since you have not learned anything from the experience. Also it seems as though you are waiting for a R2 decision? In which case I do not know if there is enough time to add it to your application.

My 3 cents.

I actually think its a VERY good sign. The day before they admitted me they asked for me to PDF my TOEFL scores. Got an admit the next day. Why would they ask for an official score unless they wanted to admit you?


That's great to hear! Hope it happens with me, too! And I agree with you - doesn't make any sense to ask for a PDF of the GMAT score if they weren't planning on admitting me.


Good luck! Keep us posted!


So I haven't heard anything and I submitted the PDF copy on Friday - so maybe it wasn't a good sign, after all.

Congratulations! Nothing like an admit from a top 5 school in the bag to make all the effort worth it! Plus I think you're a local to Chicago as well. Well done!

Thanks guys!

gps80: you are right....I am a Chicago resident and I also went to Northwestern so a ding from Kellogg would have totally tainted my NU and Evanston memories. I am really glad that won't be the case though.

Hi Pallavi,

I interviewed on Feb 6th with a local alumnus as Chicago residents don't have the option to interview on-campus. I think my application status went complete the next week (Feb 13th) and I received an admit call today.

Hope that helps!

Indeed congrats shayne, one heck of a first admit. Is Kellogg your #1 or could one of your other schools still win out?

Hi Shayne,

Thanks for the info .. i also interviewed on Feb -6 (on campus) and went complete around that time...

I know there is some randomness to the application process but was still wondering how far they have come, most of other admits interviewed in Jan.

congrats once again...

Thanks! I know! Seriously!
It's not sunk in as yet to be honest.

It actually is and unless I get a really tempting offer (w/ lots of $) from any other school it will be a very easy decision for me.

Pallavi,
Yeah it is quite random I suppose. I know there are folks on here and on the BW forum who interviewed back in November/December and still haven't heard anything while someone on the BW forum reported about his friend who interviewed on Monday last week and got dinged the same week on Friday.

By the way, are you MMM or 2Y?

Good luck!
