I'm afraid you can't conclude ~300 - that's a guess. We have 71 listed on roll call, a bunch more people trickling in. I didn't see more than, say, 30, requesting adding to roll call. Then we have a bunch of people, some of whom lurkers, pop in to say yes or no. There's no way to know how many admits have gone through, how many not.

I am not losing hope because I interviewed on November 15th (I'm non-international), seems they are going by interview date at least somewhat.

I'm not sure I can do this anymore. I haven't slept since last Tuesday, I can't focus at work, and I'm so stressed out that I might break out with shingles at any moment. One of the admits should print this thread out and show it to AdCom once they're at Kellogg, so those guys are aware of the misery they're causing twice annually. This is ridiculous in every way, from the 10-day long window to the utter mismanagement of dings. Every other school seems to manage the process better and more humanely, so why not Kellogg?

Waiting is terrible.

mbaapplicant --

My guesses were not pulled out of the ether but from the eerily similar trend from last year's thread. Large wave of admits a week before the notification deadline, then the gradual decline in volume before the WLs. In terms of being a future MBA student, there is also a component of strategic thinking (for me, the sooner I know the better I can plan for Round 2 apps).

I (as well as many others on the forum Im sure) do appreciate your voice of hope =)

Good luck everyone!

But are they going by interview date for dings? I'm a late October guy myself. The silence either way is eerie.

Can someone add me to the list (roll call) on the front page? I don't know how to/if I can do it. Thanks!

I believe there interview date thing doesnt hold true. There have been admits for people (on this forum) that interviewed as late as first week of december.

What if someone called Kellogg, and said that he/she just missed a call from that number. They'd ask for your name, info etc etc and finally have your file in front of them. Then they'd have to tell you the decision right. 'Congratulations'/'We are sorry..' :twisted:

Yeah I don't think anyone should do that though, kinda risky!

Do we even believe that everything has been decided at this point? I would think that if everything was decided, they could send out all dings at once, no? I can't imagine that the computer system they use is so manual that they have to do a few dings at a time. Seems to me like they are still deciding, or there wouldn't be this slow process.

As someone mentioned on the prev page, the decision now is probably ding vs. waitlist though. It's like getting shot in the head vs. bleeding to death slowly.

So no admits at all today? And the only dings were from the overnight status update and/or early AM automated emails?

I just received a call from Jessica Seymour notifying me about my acceptance to the 3yr JD/MBA program. I am in California and interviewed out here with an alum on November 5. Here are some quick stats:

F/27 at matriculation/5 years WE in litigation consulting/750 GMAT/170 LSAT/3.7 GPA at top public.

There is definitely still hope - good luck to all who are still waiting to hear back.

although a good friend of mine is a second year at Kellogg off the waitlist, I'd rather get rejected than get waitlisted.

I guess the glass is half full side is that K has a lower yield rate compared to its peer schools, so i wouldnt lose hope even if you get waitlisted.
