So not to sound stupid or anything, but when people here talk about status change, they are referring to the kellogg check application status page correct? Thanks...

Will you hear about money from Kellogg before the deposit for Booth is due (I believe Apr. 29)? I know others said it would come later, but not sure if that meant with the admit package or late summer.

I hope so... I didn't get any of the big named scholarships, but they said that they will roll out all other scholarship offers over the next 6 weeks or so. I'm going to try to submit my fafsa/financial aid forms as soon as possible in the hopes that they make my decision sooner than later. I'm genuinely torn between the schools - they're both fantastic programs, but if K threw some money in the mix i'd be hard pressed to turn it down.

Hi all,

This processes of releasing decisions appears extremely confusing. It seems like applicants pages are being updated at all times. If the were really just randomly going through applicants, wouldn't we see admits, dings, and waitlists every day?

I just don't get why they don't release in bigger batches or at set times of the day, as it doesn't seem like the decisions are random (more waitlists at the end, etc.)

Of course, I'm saying this because I'm nervously waiting for a decision

This is by far the weirdest process I've ever seen. Waitlists in waves? Why?? My file's been sitting there for the past three months with the interview completed and all, there's no way that they haven't made a decision on it yet. So what's the hold up?

To be fair, if you visit threads of other schools that release every decision on a single day, you'd see weeks of angst laden posts like "Adcom has probably already reviewed my file and made a decision... why can't they just tell me already!"

If I had to make SWAG, I'd say that waitlists, and other "on the fence" candidates, have to wait until the end of the process, because Adcom won't be able to make a final review and final decision on those files until they've reviewed the entire class and know exactly where they're drawing the line, so to speak. That could be one explanation for this odd pattern. But who knows.

In the tradeoff between one decision date (slower but less stressful) and a rolling window (potentially faster but more stressful) Adcom has to make a tough call. Kellogg just makes that tradeoff differently than other schools. But it's not an illogical, indefensible process.

Someone's reported this earlier as well. It's probably a system glitch so give it some time and it will likely go back to normall (unless you feel like starting off a round of speculation

, in which case we can start debating what the above error could possibly mean?!?)

No need for any speculation I guess....
Though I really would like to know what the eventual fate of the person who reported this glitch was!

Ok so to all who are waiting - and haven't gotten dinged or Waitlisted, here's my observation.

They start the calls around 11AM central (12 Eastern) and make calls for about an hour or 2. So the wave should be starting soon for the day. If you haven't gotten the ding yet - you should feel good.
