Hey, when I visited last week, adcom said two weeks before the official decision date. They said they won't start any earlier because of "people going crazy on the blogs" and only start it early because some schools have early deposit deadlines and they don't want to force people to deposit for multiple schools. So hopefully that saves you all some refreshes :)

I was hoping they'd start releasing decision on the 7th but I guess we'll have to wait until the 14th... I guess it's not a bad thing. One less week to wait anxiously for the phone to ring.

Did Kellogg list somewhere that they start releasing decisions on the 14th?

Based on the email I got from the school, they are interviewing between the 7th and 11th of March so you should at least be hopeful till then. You could easily get a call and be asked to interview on the same dates. G'luck!

Financier and LSEGuy,

Does it mean you
1) submitted application and have not heard from K since = no interview invite
or
2) submitted application and interview waiver, nothing new since?

You still have a week's notice

Quick question to all. I recently got an invite for an interview after initially getting a waiver and was asked to call up admissions to schedule a ‘phone’ interview.

Personally, I would have preferred a face-to-face interview with an alum and at the time I called them, I specifically stated that I would be willing to travel to [●], [●], [●] etc. (12-15 countries in total), if there is availability.

The admissions personnel flatly dismissed the suggestion and said that a phone interview is my only option at this point in time. I was also asked to jot down the details of my interview (timing etc.) since they did not plan to send out an email or any other form of notification confirming the time of my interview. The last thing they said was that the interview will be conducted by a ‘part-time’ member of the admissions team.

At this point, I can’t help but feel (and maybe I am over analyzing this) that Kellogg is barely interested in further assessing my candidacy and the phone interview will primarily serve to tick off just one of the required items on their list (and perhaps also serves to satisfy their reputation for interviewing nearly everyone).

I would love to hear opinions to the contrary, especially from R1-ers. Is there anyone, who went through a similar situation i.e. an interview invite relatively late in the day, phone interview etc. and went on to gain an admit?

Well, I'm not R1-er, but I think that you are stressing over it unnecessarily. I don't think that they care specifically about their reputation in your eyes as one somewhat discontented applicant among the the thousands of dreamy-eyed Kellogg's fans.

To the contrary, I think that your invite is a good sign: they are taking your candidacy seriously, but at this point in time they don't have the availability of resources to interview you face to face. Maybe the alumni network is already stretched too thin, maybe an alumni in your area got overworked for his mega-salary and dropped dead, and maybe (G-d forbid!) you indeed were not a stellar candidate in their eyes when they first went over your file - but now, after some snob deserted to Columbia with scholarship, they are suddenly listening to you unique and compelling life story. Who knows, and more importantly, what does it matter?

Remember, there are many, many applicants who were not interviewed at all (a waiver was not waived). The schools don't owe us a thing, and are under no obligation to take us in. We are those coming pounding on their doors, in countless droves, measuring with each other our GMAT scores.

To sum up, I'd just seize the opportunity (it certainly beats the sans-interview dings I got from 2 schools, leaving me with the impression my painstakingly composed application was not read at all), prepare carefully with all the materials available on the net, and totally go for it, making the maximum out of the opportunity.

Overall, it's a good sign, not a bad one. You don't have to be the first person they admit. I'd sign for being the last one, even from the waitlist :)

Completely agree. I am not exactly stressing out but just trying to speculate based on the signals I believe to have received so far. Needless to say, but I absolutely plan to put in a 100%+ effort prepping for the interview.

Would be interesting to hear from people from R1 who possibly faced a similar situation.

Getting a phone interview invitation after waiver is definitely a positive sign. Their inability to schedule you for an in-person more likely has to do with a lot of the uncertainty scheduling with an alumni and admissions' timeline for decisions. Good luck!

You can check the thread's roll call to get a fair idea on GMAT scores. You can get a link on page 131.
