yah, I dont know if I would consider those two messages completely contradictory... I actually think they are communicating more or less the same thing. I mean at this point they have a relatively full class and a list of people they more or less want to keep the option to admit. This week theyll shorten it a bit and officially send out a 'summer wl' invitation later this week or next week.

The messages are fairly similar however I read the newest update to mean that we would not hear anything until after June 6th. I don't believe anyone will hear anything this week or next but I'd be happy to be proven wrong.

Also this most recent update states that those of us who heard nothing are already considered to be on the 'summer WL' so I'm not sure any further communication addressing that is coming for a while.

As the recipient of the email, I take it to mean the following: the class is full, ie no more WL are getting in unless people that committed withdraw and lose their deposit. I don't foresee many, if any, of us WLers getting accepted. Still gonna hold out hope but the light is getting dimmer.

I hope for summer waitlist they give us a waitlist rank, so we know how much hope we have At that point it would be more about who is ready to come at such short notice than anything else.

Who knows how they've historically delivered decisions after the R3 deposit deadline? That week? Slowly over the following months?

I think the correct response to your question is that it doesn't matter. Every year they do things differently. Obviously, this year they are behind in the process if they haven't submitted summer WL status emails/calls to those on the summer WL, as they stated would happen last week.

Bottom line - if you get accepted, you'll most likely hear when someone decides they want to go to another school. It appears the class is full, so you won't hear anything until after June 6th, which is the payment deadline. If someone drops, you will probably hear something fairly close to that date.

I'm guessing around June 6th, they'll start dinging more people and leave a handful on the summer WL.

What are the forums thoughts regarding Kellogg vs. Duke? I've been listing pros and cons, but just curious other's thoughts. I realize fit is most important, which is leaning me toward Duke, but just curious about other's thoughts.

There is already a talk about MBA bubble, even Stanford acknowledges it, but as it is a smaller program they think it wont affect them as much .Duke is not considered top 10, I feel everyone can find one or two fits in the top 10 schools. If you want to start this yr, then accept duke and probably let go of deposit when you get kellogg, or continue at Duke. MBA is so much about branding then anything else. the coursework at all schools is outdated, though recently they are revamping the curriculum.

Actually, Duke is considered top 10, and the entire school itself, has a better brand than several of those dubbed top 10 (esp. when you take into account undergrad alum). There is a lot more loyalty with Duke than I have seen at several of the other programs.

I think both Kellogg and Duke are fantastic programs. The difference in ranking, even if statistically significant, is not enough to change the career path you are already on. If your career goal is X and you are currently working in Y, obviously you've demonstrated the rationale from Y to X well enough, otherwise you wouldn't have been admitted at Duke and WLed at Kellogg. You walk into a B-school with that strength/weakness already established, and schools can't do magics for you.

I must say that I'm than slightly disappointed at the lack of communication from the admin office over the past few months. Then again, I guess they don't really care that much about people who won't be part of their incoming class.

No they did not. I would have asked but I was at a loss for words. By the way, I sent one update letter.
