Hello Everyone,
I have been visiting this forum from quite sometime now but this is my first post here. I have two queries and would like to request a response from the experienced forum members:
I am from India and I applied in R1 for Kellogg 2 year MBA program, my first choice. I have been on the wailist. I wrote to the admissions office reaffirming my interest to join the program. I was directed to the waitlist manager assigned to me and was told that I can get in touch with her for any updates and information about waitlist. She was on leave initially but from first week of Jan onwards, I have sent two emails to her requesting her to let me know the areas from my application that I could improve. I requested for a small telephonic discussion. I didn't hear back for quite a long time so I tried to reach on phone but again no response. Finally she gave me a time but when I called again on the agreed time again there was no response
. So I am confused what should I do now since I don't know what the admission committee was looking for and how I could address those concerns. I don't have any apparent major weaknesses in application as such with a high GMAT score, decent GPA, 4 years work experience with a top fortune 500 company and some international experience also. Having sent two emails and two voice mails 
to my waitlist manager, should I still persist for a telephonic discussion or should I just shut up and wait? 
I do have some significant updates since I applied to Kellogg. I wish to know whether these updates should be sent as a body of the email or as a separate essay in the form of an attachment. What should be the appropriate length of the essay?
Thanks in advance for your help.

You have to understand they will be really busy at this time of the year..so do not take the delay in communication as a bad sign.
In general I've found the Kellogg staff to be pretty helpful once you get their attention. You should definitely send an email about your updates, give them a couple of days to acknowledge or call and confirm that they have received and added those updates to your file.
Good luck mbaapplicant2010!

Is it a good idea to call them and make sure that my application is complete? The status checker says the next update will show whether my application is complete, but patience is not my strong suit.
Feels good, even though I know they interview most people
