I just got an email. I got dinged.
The Admission Committee for graduate programs at Kellogg School of Business has completed its review of your application for the Fall of 2009. Unfortunately, we are not able to offer you admission. You will receive an official decision letter providing more in depth information regarding the area(s) of weakness highlighted by the Committee. Please allow at least two weeks to receive your decision letter.
Oh great
It looks like the change to "unknown" is forecasting a ding this year as well. I became "unknown" earlier today, and just now got an official ding by logging in (I have not received an email yet). No word on a "decision letter" for me:
"The Admissions Committee has completed its review of your application for the Two-Year Program at the Kellogg School of Management. Despite your many merits as a candidate, I regret to inform you that we are not able to offer you a place in the entering class.
The Admissions Committee carefully evaluated your application in the following areas: work experience, career plans, academic ability and performance, extracurricular and community involvement, leadership and interpersonal skills. Decisions are based upon a thorough evaluation of your individual strengths and weaknesses, as well as your qualifications relative to all others in our applicant pool. This decision is not a reflection of your personal qualities and achievements or your potential for success in management, but merely a reflection of the limited number of places in the class.
We certainly wish you the best of luck in your future endeavors, and thank you for your interest in the Two-Year Program at the Kellogg School of Management."
Happy trails ya'll, good luck everyone.
