Calling all Kellogg Fall 2009 Applicants!

When did people hear back from Kellogg last year? Was it an email, mail, or online? At the MMM prospective day they said they would release most admission decisions on a rolling basis, and most decisions will be before the "decision by date". Do they generally release financial awards at the same time, or a later date?

I don't like waiting...

I heard Nov 27th...then again another gmatclubber (and K'10) heard at 6pm on deadline day.

I interviewed with an AO in my city back in September. What insight do you need into the process?

Interview went extremely well. She contacted me about setting up a time while she was in town for an event. Met in the lobby of a local hotel and it lasted approx. 30 minutes.

Walked her through my resume. She asked me about a former employer that was in the news at the time. Then my current employer and the dotcom I helped start with friends. My current job has had a lot of exposure to my former employer and so we discussed that. Asked about the promotion I received after my first year, and how my responsibilities changed.

Talked about raising capital for the venture. I name dropped how much I want to take Steven Roger's class. She was shocked that I knew who he was. Discussed how it has shaped why I want/need an MBA. Threw in that I'm coming from a small firm that doesn't have the general management training that others coming from GE will have...that plays into my why MBA.

She asked about my hobbies, the educational extracurricular activities I work on, and then we discussed some of the parts of the program I'm interested in.

All in all, the interview went really well. I recommend that your why MBA answer ties into Kellogg's general management curriculum and unique program offerings.

Don't know if its good news or bad news, but I received a message from Kellogg stating that due to the fact that there has been a significant increase in the number of interview requests in my region, they are waiving my interview requirement. This will not adversely affect my application.

I am a little disappointed because I felt I would be able to make a good impression in an interview, but I hope its a sign they think my application can stand on its own.
