More importantly, I swear on my mother's life I am ten times more articulate, confident, likable and funny than I came across in my interview. I was a ball of nerves in that conversation. "

Seriously guys, I don't know how many times I can say this. Don't try to analyze the number of people who got calls, day of the week, time of day, phase of the moon, whether the groundhog saw its shadow, etc. to try and figure out how many more people will get admitted. The order in which decisions are made (and communicated to you guys) is completely random, and past patterns of when people were notified in no way will predict future patterns. In any event going by internet postings is far from a representative sample to base an analysis on. If all you do is check your status, it's not going to make the decision come any quicker and you're going to drive yourself nuts. Go out and enjoy life and when it's your turn to get your decision it'll come.

Thanks Jerz, but these forums are all that we have as we go through this extremely competitive and almost insane (on our part) process.
It doesn't make sense to me that the orders are completely random, because a few R2 interviews are still going on, so it's apparent that they are making decisions one person or bunch at a time; As admissions forms the new class according to their target - i.e. x% from IB, x% from consulting, x% international etc, they must be giving out the most obvious offers/dings first, or else what if they've over-dinged or over-offered by the time they get to the 2nd or 3rd week?
Decisions will be released all the way through the official date of 3/29.. I really don't think any applicant deserves to be put in this limbo of more than 3 weeks! The school really should rethink the way it does this.

Good luck to everyone waiting to hear!

seems like there are a lot of strong profiles that are getting dings though.. just lends more credence to the strength of this year's applicant class.

Another addition to the roll-call here. Do they call over the weekend as well or should I stop being nervous everytime the phone rings?

I got the call today and feel extremely happy. To add to the joy of getting the call I got an Austin scholarship as well (https://kellogg-austinscholars.campusgr ... =1&id=2853).

Hope to see many of you on the DAK weekend in late April.

...and now I am going to enjoy the day :)

Thats brilliant! Congrats!! Can you share your profile...
Show more

Yes why not (being not able to go to sleep in the middle of the night after the rush of today's news)

I was very worried that my 680 GMAT with 44Q and 38V would harm my profile a lot. I had only one option of taking the GMAT due to extreme load at work but was very unhappy with my GMAT. The GMAT was a mess as I was not able to finish the Q part and thought that therefore everything was ruined. I was probably a bit careless in the V part as I expected my outcome to be horrible due to the timing mismatch in the Q part. I thought of re-taking the GMAT but I had very limited time and decided rather to put efforts in the essays than to push the GMAT up by 20-30 points and possibly harm the essays.

I have a very strong WE with a decade in investment banking and M&A advisory in Western Europe. My extra curriculum activities and community ties are solid (IMO). After many years in IB I established and managed an M&A boutique and recently merged that company with a larger financial institution.

I was interviewed in London early Feb.

Stats: 680 GMAT (Q44, V38, AWA5.5), ITOEFL 113, 3.0GPA, 31M, 10yrs WE, good recs, good interview, good essays (IMO)

International applicant from Asia.
And I'M IN!!!
(M/720/3.2/WE 7 yrs/Finance/CFA)

Due to time difference, instead of calling me, an Adcom staff kindly left the email at 5:00 am (2:00 PM CST).
The title of the mail was "Congratulations." How sweet~.

I'm a very relaxed person, but, this whole week, I woke up in the night several times to check the Kellogg website.

Wish a good luck to all those still waiting!!
