I don't think any speculative estimate of probability at this point would be either remotely accurate or even vaguely correct at this point. They are doing them as they complete them. The odds only matter when they are holding your application in their hands and making a decision.

Thanks. And agreed.

Though almost impossible to implement but for the sake of sanity I would support that they should send all the admits/WL/deny together on one/two days...atleast this waiting periods could be more bearable when you know the precise date when you will get to know the decision not a day in advance not a day later.......

dinged... just got the email

tons of luck for those waiting...

Sorry to hear that buddy. I really hope you get into one of your other schools. Best of luck for your other apps.

Are people with dings getting updates throughout the morning? I thought the dings were sent out in the morning in a batch (or made available on the status page in batch). With people reporting dings now and saying "just got dinged", it appears Kellogg is sending out ding emails even now. Could someone confirm if they have actually gotten the ding email in the last hour (as opposed to an email that was in their inbox this morning but got checked in the last hour).

Many thanks.

If you guys are waiting anxiously for schools and feel like chatting, might as well join the chat: https://gmatclub.com/chat/ . I suspect it will be quite active this week.

Agreed. I'm not sure I can take another week of jumping every time my phone rings. Plus, my productivity is way down at work as I'm constantly checking email, app status, and gmat club.

Still radio silence for me as well...frustrating! I interviewed 10/21.

Ditto on the 10/21 Interview, ditto on the radio silence. It's a mystery.

A very late entrant to the thread. But anyhow, here's my story.

Profile: Indian male
Work Exp: 5.5 years as of now
Industry: Online advertising/Marketing, employed with one of the biggest online brands in the world all through.
Function: Sales, Client Servicing, General Management
GMAT: 710

Received a surprise call from Erika from the Kellogg Admissions office on Friday night (Indian time) and was informed of the 1Y admit. Received an email soon after.

Absolutely thrilled to say the least, however a little confused between this and the Indian School of Business, Hyderabad, India. Main factors: a) location b) cost c) spouse's career.

Also, saw a question somewhere about scholarships, wanted to know if it's announced along with the admission or do we need to apply separately at a later date?

Thanks,
Suhel

They are doing them as they complete them. The odds only matter when they are holding your application in their hands and making a decision.

Maybe a stupid question, but dont they need to see all the applications before starting the decisions? I dont think the decision is something absolute, but relative. What if they have dinged a lot of ok applicants and had left a lot of trash to decide in the last days?

Guys, just now got an email from Kellogg I am in. Like you, I am also a re-applicant from last year. Last year I was waitlisted in R1 but finally after a loooooooong wait I got the much awaited email.
