Long-time lurker, first-time poster. I got the call at 12:15 PM on Monday 3/14. F/31/720/3.7 GPA/public university Hoping the best for those waiting!

We'll see what happens tomorrow morning... I should have applied to more schools

Another day of Kellogg watch with so much drama. No news yet, so dodged the ding. I rather prefer the current modus that Kellogg releases dings rather than letting us wait until 24th March. Congratulations to all folks with admits, well done.

Hi All, Is it true that the chances of ding increases as the decision deadline approaches? Any insight will be really appreciated.

Few posts from this and last year's site. And some general observation. But I am unsure, hence asking.

I don't think so. The chance of not getting admitted (dinged and waitlisted) increases because all of the waitlists come out on the last day. But I don't think there's greater likelihood of getting dinged compared to admitted as time goes on - at least not a big difference.
