I ran into particular frustration with my interview with a 2Y Kellogg student. The question were exclusively geared to "Why Kellogg", which I didn't feel accurately / fairly reflected my interest in the unique JD/MBA program. Any other JD/MBA applicant else experience this?
I run into exactly the same problem with my interviewer...we really connected during the interview (or at least I thought so), since we are both Engineering backgrounds from Canada. But the whole interview was "Why MBA", "Why Kellogg", "Why Now". And he only found out about my JD portion of application near the end of the interview and I think he was surprised. But once I told him that Kellogg's JDMBA made much more sense than other 4 year programs, he understands my "Why Kellogg" much better.
But throughout the whole process I feel that my JD portion of the answer is inadequate. I hope my focus on MBA portion is not an automatic ding by the JD AdCom (as I'm pretty sure they will have a say in this process, just dont know how much). I actually have a thousand-word "personal statement" on JD ready to ship out if I'm WLed.

Best of luck every one still waiting, hope good news come soon!

I'm not as familiar with JD-MBA admissions as with MBA admissions, but I wouldn't worry too much about this. Since the JD-MBA application process is run by Kellogg, and therefore uses Kellogg interviewers, I'm sure the law school adcom that review the application are used to seeing interview feedback from Kellogg interviewers. As long as you do a good job explaining why JD and MBA in your essays you should be ok.

Add me up for the list of insane reading the status message obsessively for last two weeks to make sure there isn't a word or two changed somewhere. Glad to have this forum, else sometimes I get convinced that Kellogg has chosen me personally to torture with a tantalizing possibility (however low) of admit before they send the fateful ding or Waitlist.

I think you've stumbled on something...this is probably some Northwestern psychology student's project on how people handle the stress of waiting to be accepted into MBA programs. It's all a conspiracy.

Excuse me while I go check my status.

Why would you use fb group as a reliable source?
Every person who has decided to attend may not obsessively sign up right away.
Many people are probably waiting for R2 decisions before they decide where to go.
Even more people are probably holding off on announcing their departure from work in a public way... IFF I were in I would not want my boss to know?

I know MANY people who won't sign up to those groups on facebook right away. Reason being that if you are friends with a coworker/superior that doesn't know about your plans....well, you just pretty much told them in their newsfeed.

Definitely not a reliable resource...first of all, anyone can join...the group moderator does not verify that you've actually been accepted to Kellogg...second of all, many who have been accepted may not join for privacy reasons...when I joined, fb published that I joined in my news feed, prompting people to contact me. I soon left the group.

Those things are a little annoying anyway, people just seem overzealous; they are already organizing happy hours in 'hub' cities. These people seem to prioritize the hanging out/socializing aspect of business school a little too much.

hum...i tend to think connecting with your fellow admits is a good thing...after-all, a big part of bschool experience is about networking, why not start now :)

for those in LA, SoCal area, there will be a Kellogg admits meet-up next Tuesday, please PM me for details if you'd like to join!

The activity from Kellogg has slowed down quite a bit. Do you guys think it is fair to assume they're mostly done? And now just putting the final touches on R2? The last 50-75 seats?

different strokes for different folks I guess...networking should not always involve beers, I would hope

Anyway, I am on the right of the age spectrum, so perhaps, I have different priorities.
