when will Kellogg give final result to the interviewed candidates? thx

The best guess is the period from next week until the deadline (December 20th).

I asked this question during my interview and the answer was ... "The earliest you will hear is a couple of days before Dec 20th". So its still about 3 weeks away ...

When I went to a Kellogg event, the admissions officer said decisions are released on a rolling basis according to whenever they come to a decision on your file. My interviewer mentioned that she found out in early December. Therefore, I would think we could hear back as early as this week.

The suspense is killing me...

Are you guys starting R2 apps just in case or holding off until you hear back? I'm seriously struggling with that right now.

Trying to start with R2 apps ASAP (considering there are roughly 20 days between R1 notifications and R2 deadlines), but having trouble getting myself to start!

I have a question about career placement.
I am focusing on marketing and general management. If I went to Kellogg, what are my chances of working in NYC post graduation in my field. Or do most people end up working in Chicago after they grad, in this industry?

Thanks.

Man, I'm in the same boat. I should be working but instead I'm compulsively checking this to see if anyone's heard!

By the way, does anyone know what the decision date is for Kellogg R1? I can't seem to find it on their terrible website.

December 20th

But most of us think the decisions will be sent before that. Personally, I believe they will start next week.

Hi

Just had my telephonic interview with Kellogg (after it was waived in October). It was 30 mins long, all questions covered in a very transactional manner. The lady was not warm but not unfriendly either. Though I tried to strike the balance between team player and leader in my answers, I suspect I painted myself out to be more a leader. I hope that doesn't hurt my chances. My question is - what does a last minute phone interview usually mean? Someone I know told me that if they call you at this point, it's probably because they're very keen and just want to be certain that you speak well and are the person represented in your written application; apparently it's not so much of a selection tool. I'd really appreciate any info and thoughts on this issue! Also, what sort of conversion rate is there between interviewed candidates and accepted candidates at Kellogg?

Thanks!

Congrats on the interview. From all reports, it is a good sign if they want to interview you after a waive. Don't go quit your job just yet but i would take it as a positive sign.

As far as a converion rate for interviews, Kellogg has open interviews so this data point is not applicable. Kellogg states that 100% of its admitted students are interviewed but if you have been reading this thread you will get some conflicting reports. The following is from Businessweek's Kellogg profile

Applications (admitted and denied) to the newest class: 5,270
Applicants who were accepted to the most recent class: 19 %
Applicant interviews are: Required
Applicants (admitted and denied) who were interviewed: 89 %
Admitted applicants who were interviewed: 100 %

Best of luck!

How quickly to people usually hear back for an interview after submitting Part 1? My question being, the Part 1 deadline for Round 2 is December 15, but if I were to submit now, is it possible to have the interview even before the deadline? Thanks in advance.

Got an email tonight from Kellogg about the diversity of its alumni network. I almost had a heart attack. They really should refrain from freaking us out like that.

Agreed - I got 3 emails from them in the past 2 days. 2 about Kellogg Women'd Business Association informal chat in NYC and 1 about the alumni network. Wish this were some kind of sign :wink:

(but obviously not)
The wait continues...

I'm sure it's just a glitch because that would mean they made their decisions already and just sending emails to accepted/waitlisted ppl? Nahh, i highly doubt! Let's not lose hope!
