Just got an email from my interviewer asking me to let him know what happens, unsolicited. Told me his rec was strong. What the hell does that mean?

That can only be good news! There is no negative way to interpret that so hope for the best :)

You guys will appreciate this:

I just got an email from some unknown name and in the body before opening it I could see "Congratulations..."

Turns out I won a raffle, a box of cigars.

thanks for scaring me.

For those who are finding out about dings by checking their status, are you getting an email asking you to check your status eventually?

The most horrible thing about Kellogg's admission process is

The moment you submit your essays, you feel that a knife is stabbed in your body( atleast I felt). With every passing day you die a little. With every status check, you feel the blood oozing out of the wound. But wait a minute - No respite for you - not yet.

Because of the 'rolling decisions', you feel as if the knife is being taken out of your body in installments. Not in one shot, but very very slowly. Just the opposite of the bone chilling scene in 'Saving private Ryan' (the scene in which Pvt. Stanley Mellish gets stabbed slowly by the German soldier, who whispers something like - "Give up. You have got no chance. This way is much more easy for you. Much easier."

HORRIFYING........

i don't know why i'm on these threads anymore. for me this whole process has been exactly like Pvt. Mellish - slowly being stabbed only to result in imminent death.

Maybe this will make you feel a bit better (?). At least you're not on the waitlist - imagine going through this process multiple times and still not having a yes/no answer....

ROLL CALL PAGE UPDATED

The aggregate numbers might be wrong, but I believe I got everyone's status update since my last update. I will be on out of town for a little bit, so updates may be slow if other mods don't step in. Mods, please post after each update, so we know what part of the thread needs to be inputted.

In at Kellogg-just got the call!!!

Congrats! Can you share your profile?


Thank you!! I'll start by saying that I am a living testimony that you can overcome an average GMAT and a decent undergrad GPA with great, unique work experience, great recommendations, and compelling essays. My GMAT was in the high 600's, undergrad gpa:3.3 , top ranked undergrad university (not ivy). Good luck everyone!

I think this process is a mess because Kellogg interviews everyone. People have been admitted yet some people have not been interviewed; which means a decision has not been made on their application.

It is a logistical mess. But, in a way, I appreciate their effort to get to know each of their candidates.

Did anyone who had an interview waiver receive their admission decision yet? (also including those who had phone interviews post-waiver)

I hate the wait, but I dont think the process is a mess.
The people who have been already offered should be the ones who the adcom think are an 'absolutely perfect fit'! The decisions of those who havent been interviewed yet will only affect us, who are in the middle 80% and are still crossing their fingers.

btw... Just wondering what time do they start calling? Also, did any international applicant recieve the decision by phone?
