Is it supposed to tell you that your application is under review? or once its complete, then that is the final phase of the application until the decision?

Wonder how they pick applicants for interview. Some say it is by sequence of submmit, but I submitted Part 1 by Sep 13th.

So are we taking bets yet on when the first decision will be? Last year's thread was 12/4, Friday the week after Thanksgiving. That would be 12/3 this year BUT they have moved up the deadline so maybe we can start expecting something earlier in that week? or maybe the week of Thanksgiving?

I am going crazy. Really worried about the typo I made in my resume that led to a factual data inconsistency between my resume and essays. I got the error corrected later though by mailing the office and they responded promptly saying they have added a note in my application about the correction. Do you think it can hurt my application? Kellogg is my dream school and first preference!

Anyone knows any applicant(s) who screwed up the interview yet made it in?

For those with interview waivers, something to cheer you up - I thought my application was pretty strong till I was done with my interview. I screwed up my interview so bad, now I am concerned. Good luck to those who are applying.

Man. This thread is turning into paranoia.

Interview is a two-edge sword - if you ace it, good. if not, you would wish you hadn't done it. In my interview, the answers for my questions were 90% similar to what I put down in my essays. And compared to other schools, the questions for Kellogg make you reveal yourself, especially the one about "why should we pick you??" So essays themselves should give adcom good picture of your candidacy.

whomovedmymouse, it doesn't matter what an applicant think - what matters is what the interviewer thinks, which we will never know since God didn' give us the ability to read other people's mind. I had an interview with an adcom member a week after submitting Part 1. I said everything I needed to say but not as WELL as I could've because it was a damn hot day in LA and i kept drinking water as my mouth got dry. Is she gonna focus on my content rather than deliver? I dunno. If somebody tells me they focus on content, I would feel better but hey, he ain't the adcom.

It is a waiting game and yes, we are looking for some certainty in this game. But we won't find one. Even if adcom says something, we will come up with some theory, which indicates exact opposite of what they say. Let's keep the sanity alive. Jon Stewart, please pitch in.

Hi guys! I'm Brazilian and at first I got a waiver right after submitting part 1. Today I've received a phone interview invitation. I think this must be a good sign. Anyone got that also?

I got in the Tuesday after Thanksgiving (it was still November). My bet is that right after Thanksgiving the first admits start rolling out.

Do they normally call admits? Also, when is deposit due?

Thank you domtri33! My 3-4 hour sleep will be peaceful tonight... all thanks to you! :-D

I guess the typo happened when I was drafting my resume at 3 AM from the notes I made while on the bus. I read "42" as "92". :oops:

If you are admitted you will get a call from admissions. Deposit isn't due until after DAK. I don't remember the exact date, but you will have plenty of time.

DAK is 2/11-2/13. I believe the R1 deposit date was ~March 1 last year, because I remember the R1 admits I had met after getting admitted in R2 had just passed their deposit deadline.
