Indian applicant for MMM program. Haven't received an interview call yet after the waiver. Does it mean the game is over for me?

mbaDreamBig, Kellogg's admissions blog says they'll continue to send telephone interview invites through March. So I guess there's still quite a while to go before you give up hope.

Btw, does Kellogg accept students who had their interviews waived without interviewing them - their blog says they will contact applicants for a telephone interview only if they needed additional information - can it so happen that they do not need any additional information, and will make a favorable decision without an interview?

This is the blog I am referring to:

I do not believe so. According to BW, 100% of their admitted students have been interviewed.

Can I ask what information you base this on? Take a look at the first page of this topic and you will clearly see that many people in Round 1 were admitted up through December 18 -- 11 days after admission decisions started coming out on December 7 -- while many people were ding'ed simultaneously. With this in mind, I tend to agree that no news is good news, especially when news is likely (based on acceptance %s) not good. I believe (rather baselessly, but optimistically) that the early admits were the "sure-ins" and I congratulate them for it, but knowing that most of us are in the middle 80%, we were not really in the running for those spots anyway. Therefore, based on this theory, the longer I can go without a ding, the more competitive within the remaining pool I become, and because that is all I can ask for, I am content to wait out the process and hope for the best.

Everyone is on edge with this decision notification process, but there is no reason to magnify that anxiety with negative speculation. We have each tried our best to present a compelling case for admittance, but not encouraging each other throughout this process is counterproductive. Kellogg is my top choice, but if I am not admitted, I have other options and life will go on just fine, as will everyone else.

Congrat's to those who are already admitted and good luck to the rest of us still waiting to hear our decision!

I agree with you! No news is not bad news yet! All thats bad is only the wait!

I doubt it's alphabetical. They can send out all the ding emails at once, unlike phone calls, so there's no need to do it alphabetically. Besides, I doubt they're reviewing the applications or making decisions alphabetically, either.

I have two theories on how admit calls are going out. At some schools you are assigned a specific Adcom person in charge of your region(Asia, EU, NA, etc) who may be the one making the admit call and at some schools a specific Adcom person based on your last name (A-F, G-L, etc.) would be calling you to give the good news. I believe the waitlist at many schools functions like this.
