Spent most of my day on the plane, which probably kept me sane. Congrats to all the new admits. Glad to see a bunch of you guys get in. Since I interviewed in the second to last day for R1, I am not expecting to hear back until Friday or Monday. With the dings, admits, and waitlists going out, I am definitely taking no news as good news for now.

Heres to a few more days of craziness that is R1 decisions!

I did my interview at the end of November. My interviewer said that he's very busy but he would try to finish my feedback asap. Hope my late decision release is due to the late interview too.

Anyone knows whether the big bulk of admitted coming only in the early days or it spreads out equally until the final date ??? Oh, mannnnn.... I'm so hate this.

Got the email as well !

M/28/5WE/3.93/770/Agribusiness/India

Is anyone else having trouble accessing the Facebook page?

:) thanks cheets !

Congratulations to you too ! I had no doubt that you will get in. I had told you as much, no?

Will we meet at DAK? Looking forward to that.

LOL! Yes, you did tell me. From now on I will listen to you so I can avoid the nervous meltdowns.

I visited Kellogg in November when I did my interview, but I'm thinking I want to go back again for DAK to meet my future classmates.

And yes I'm having some issues accessing the facebook page. I asked to be added but I don't know how long that will take or how they can actually verify my admit. Hopefully I can join tomorrow.

Just got waitlisted ....

Here is what the kellogg FAQs page says
"We request that you wait until the week of January 3 to contact our office regarding your candidacy."

Does this mean we wait till 3rd Jan before contacting AddComm


ANy pointers on future steps will be helpful

Just checked my application status and I'M IN! No phone call (deployed, remote location, no phone) and NO EMAIL! I was checking the wrong site (I was checking my actual application on the applyyourself site). I had my wife open up the other site and she read...

"Congratulations! You have been admitted to the Kellogg School of Management. You will receive your official admit letter...we look forward to welcoming you to Kellogg."

Sincerely,
Michele Rogers
Director of Admissions and Financial Aid

I don't know why I didn't get an email, but I'll take it either way. All those still waiting, keep the faith out there! There are still 4 days of admits coming out!

Hey all, I'm IN!! (MMM). Like Sandfrog though, the strange thing is that I didn't get any email or call; my application status just changed (on the millionth time I checked it).

ALL THE BEST TO EVERYONE (regardless of their Kellogg decision)!

Same boat in China. I even bug my interviewer and been told the feedback was "super strong", actually i am doubting the real importance of interview at Kellogg now. Could be my background make me not a tick? None of the admits in China so far were from finance background...

The signature on the reject letter has changed to Michele Rogers. Yes, I am obssessively rechecking my status hoping that it miraculously changes to "Admit WITHOUT interview".

Hope they have not forgotten us poor applicants..
Any idea about our chances of getting an admit now after the first wave of decisions?
Are the chnces more, less same...ditto for waitlisted chances? I can see a number of decisions for 1yr and MMM programs...
Does it mean that the admits for the 2ys MBA are over?
Just a few questions going through my mind!

For now wishing no news is good news!

I got the call for the 2yr MBA @ 4:05 pm EST. So excited! And now I can finally get some sleep at night. Last night was awful. My heart was racing, I couldn't eat, I couldn't sleep.

For those still waiting I'm rooting for you. I know how hard it is to wait. Just keep the faith and hold on to the idea that no news is good news.

congratulations cheetarah1980! Was following your posts on the forum for quite some time and wondered why you weren't amongst the invites in the first wave. Finally glad to read that you made it.

For those of you still waiting, hang in there. There's absolutely no difference between getting admitted the first day calls go out or on the decision deadline. In is in. I see a lot of talk about waves of invites and I think what wave you're in simply depends on where your name is in the stack of admits on someone's desk. That's it.

Real talk. It sucked not getting called on the first day. I practically worried myself sick. And it sucked looking at my phone every 5 minutes from 6 a.m. til 3:30 p.m. yesterday. I was trying to will my phone to ring while obsessively checking for a status update email (and praying I didn't get one before a call). The call finally came during a few minutes when my mind had finally wandered on to something else. As soon as it comes trust me, you will not care what wave your invite came in. You're just gonna be spittin' happy to have it.

At this point there's no way to guess what your decision will be based off this forum. The sample size is too small. And most importantly, I truly do think that the order is random which makes the waiting feel more like Russian roulette. For me what helped was NOT checking my app status. I didn't want to know until the email came. Try not to be a glutton for punishment. And most of all, GOOD LUCK!! I"m pulling for those still waiting.

Congrats to you too! Like I said in my other post, I think the day I got called was random. I'm just glad that I got in and that they put me out of my misery relatively early. I'd probably be in a padded cell if I had to wait through the weekend to find out.

I was thinking the same thing. I think people who are still waiting are steering clear of the forums to keep some modicum of sanity. I can't blame them. That's what I did all day yesterday.
