So I guess we'll start seeing dings tomorrow morning then...

No no... if ding you'll know only on decision day, which is March 28 (if you applied R2), they're starting to call admits early, makes sense considering the number of people to call!

When I visted Kellogg, one of the 1st year students told me she got her call on the final notification day at 5pm...

Hang in there!

Guys would they call all the admitted students today or phase out the calls over a couple of days?

Over the next 2 weeks! Slow slog...admit, ding and waitlist notifications seem to come quite randomly, assuming round 1 trend holds true.

Congrats emont and theacademist! Best of luck to the rest of us...

According to previous stats, admit calls will go out from today till the day of official decision, March 28. So we'll be stressed up on our phones for a while...

Sorry for the cryptic first post--it was THE call and it came around 1230 California time. I got a followup email a few minutes later. Not a lot of details aside from my new login information but I haven't been able to get to a computer to see if my status changed.

No idea on my Haas vs. Kellogg decision as of yet. Haas offered me money so that's a factor for sure.

Agreed. I should totally stay off of this site but it is just so addicting to hear updates!!! Obsessive voicemail, email, and SPAM checking is about to begin.

Forgot to answer this earlier when someone asked it--but I submitted part 1 about 5 days before the December deadline, interviewed with an alum in San Diego on January 8, then submitted part 2 a day before the January 11 deadline.

Thanks for all the congrats everyone

I wish more GC clubbers would have gotten the call today, but there's going to be a TON more so it'll be great to see everyone's excitement when they start rushing in.

does anyone know if internationally based applicants also get calls or emails? especially those in time zones 12 hours away such as India?

I think they will try to call Internationals nevertheless..

Should they cant reach you by the time they call, they will send email subsequently. So no worries for that if you are an admit.

Good luck all

Long term lurker in the forum. I got a call this afternoon from an admissions officer, am in! I was shellshocked since I just got waitlisted by Ross and figured Kellogg wouldn't be hopeful. For those waiting or waitlisted, keep up hope guys, you never know!!!

FYI, Northwestern is my alma mater and I've spent over 5 years living in Evanston doing my undergrad and my engineering master's. If anyone on the forum has any questions about Evanston and what's it like living there as a student, please don't hesitate to send me a PM.

Cheers!
