Hi All,

I am another waitlisted R2 applicant.

April 4 Monday: Left a message for my Waitlist Manager.
April 5 Tuesday Evening: WL Manager emailed me to set up a phone appointment
April 7 Thursday: Had a 10 min call
April 11 Monday: Sent in additional information

That's the extent of our interaction thus far.

Highlights of Phone Convo:

  • I was asked to provide anecdotes on how I've played a support role - makes sense because my interview and essays came on very strong.
  • Updates are meant to be informal.
  • I was asked if I've read the Waitlist FAQ. I said yes and my WL Manager made sure to emphasize that April 19 and May 11 dates are not drop-dead dates. Waitlist candidates are assessed on a rolling basis. We may or may not hear.

So, I see some comments about long wait time, lack of responses etc. I have gotten responses in a timely manner.

Just thought I would share.

Good luck all!

Mine was about 300 words.

I think it's really however long you need to tell your story. As long as you are to-the-point, I don't believe there's stringent rules.

Does anyone have Michael G as the WL manager? I have been trying to get in touch but havent had success. Is it wise to send updates w/o getting in touch with your WL manager?

If you've left a few voicemails then maybe you should send an email with your updates, thank the Adcom for the continued consideration, and a few times when he can call you back.

I have Michael G - he has been out of the office traveling a lot. I did manage to track him down but his feedback was just that I, like most WL candidates, don't have any issues that need explaining rather that its just really a matter of space and seeing how the class falls

Sure thing.

It's Jessica Seymour.

She sounded very pleasant - not curt at all and was very willing to provide feedback.

Really wondering if we're going to hear anything this week.

Has anyone ever heard of an accepted wait lister at Kellogg getting any type of a scholarship down the line? Stupid question I know, but I had to ask.

From what I've read.

Accepts tend to be via phone calls. Dings tend to be via emails.

There were very few calls for either WL decision days in R1 and slightly more, but still few email rejections. Similarly, today is probably not going to be a big day for either. They're waiting for peeps to make decisions about whether to attend before they tell us anything and that's probably not happening until May or later.

Anyone know when R2 admits have to get their deposits in? That should tell us a lot about expected timing for WL decisions. Agree, very quiet today.

wow I guess Kellogg's expected/actual yield this year is pretty solid. Very limited WL movement for R1ers, little movement today for R2ers.

Yeah, I don't know why they bother to list dates for WL decisions. They don't seem to hold to them. Nor do they need to.
