hankpunk, please continue providing the data! Perhaps, you have already mentioned this, but I was interested in knowing if you knew what the admit rate R2 last year was for Gmatclub participants. If it was less than 20%, then there will probably be very few additional admits in the next few weeks. Still, it seems that not even one JD/MBA candidate has been admitted in R2. Perhaps, JD/MBAs are reviewed last in the cue since the final two notifications in R1 were for JD/MBA candidates. While I simply love Kellogg, the student culture, and the post-MBA opportunities that the school provides, trying to decipher this admissions decision madness has made most of us, including me, worthy of being institutionalized. :2gunfire: :thanks

Well, I'll just state the facts and let people interpret them..

[EDIT: JD info deleted, didn't realize it was 3 year program..]

As for R2 last year, the admission rate for GC was 22%.. we're at 19% right now.

My best advice is to just focus on something that you can affect... I have prep for another interview..

From R1, it looks like the first JD/MBA ding was Dec 14, which 'more or less' maps to March 15... I'd expect to hear from the JD/MBA applicants any day now.

Put yourself in the mind of a student application reviewer (which some of you may become). What are the main factors that would cause you to accept or reject a candidate? What would you look for in a candidate? If you had 500 applications to go through, how would you weed out the candidates? Just curious, plus it could be helpful to those applying next year.
Show more

1. Does the applicant have clear, well thought-out career goals? Does the applicant have a reasonable chance of achieving these goals based on their background and what they'll pick up through an MBA?
2. Does the applicant have a good understanding of what Kellogg is all about? Does the applicant explain convincingly why Kellogg is the right school for them and how they'll contribute to the community here?
3. Is the applicant an interesting person that I'd want to spend time with? Would I want this person in one of my groups? Does their application stand out from the hundreds of others that I've read?

NB: I am not a student reader. This is just what I'd care about if I were reading applications.

@ kaushik -

I interviewed in late jan ( Indian applicant), yet to hear from them.
There are hardly 10 days left..so no amount of guessing would help this time..
Since you got a waiver and then a call, guess they want you more badly than you want them..
All the best!!

Have any of the MMM admits received or heard of anybody getting the Wally Hopp Scholarship that is specifically for MMM students? I am just trying to determine if this is something that would have been offered up front or if there is still a possibility of receiving this later in the process.

At this point of the game is it worth letting Kellogg know that I've had a change in work environment? (ie: shelved a start-up)
