Now the painful wait till December 19 begins...I have precisely 32 days now to over-analyze my interview and replay it in my head a thousand times!! :)

I am pretty sure they will start issuing admits well before December 19.

Oh man I wish I could share your optimism and hope that I get an invite before Dec. 19!! Unfortunately, I don't think I'll get an admit because my interview really didn't go so well.. Not that any part of it was outright bad, but I just didn't bring out all aspects of my story well enough. In hindsight, I could've answered almost every question in a much better manner, and significantly better, not just marginally better...So unless the ad com is floored by my essays, which I really doubt is the case, I'm pretty sure my Kellogg journey ends here (or will end soon)!

I honestly wish this week was a bit better...I've been working my butt off like crazy..Plus I had a Darden interview on Tuesday. In less than 24 hours, I interviewed for Kellogg. And in less than 24 hours from now I'll be interviewing for Booth!!! :x

I could really use a bottle of single malt just now!! :evil:

You know sometimes we are our own worst critics. I am sure that your interview went better than you thought. While a really bad interview will probably keep you out, I really don't think you have to have a fantastic interview in order to get in. I think that the wait is just getting to you (it's getting to all of us). No need to count yourself out with over a month to go before the decision deadline.

Good luck with your Booth interview. I'm sure you'll do great!

Based on last years thread it looks like the first reports on calls were 2 weeks before the deadline. Assuming same timeline I would not expect anything before 12/5. Also with a new head in Admissions I would not be surprised if decisions are all released closer to the date.

I am sure they already have a file of applications with decisions made either way. They are probably just waiting for a certain date to pass to minimize the number of calls they get from applicants about their applications.

Till when should we retain hope? This week? I mean they need some time to process the interview, plus some notice to schedule the interview (over phone or otherwise) so this week should be it. No?

I am of course talking about interview after a waiver.

Hi,
I finally got my interview invite with an alumnus in my city.

I'm mostly acquainted with the possible questions, thanks to clearadmit. But there's one nagging question that I thought you folks should help me with.

My interview is in a local cafe. What is the normal interview etiquette for paying the cheque?
I mean, of course I will reach out for the bill with full intention of paying it.
But I want to know from those in similar situations, how did you handle it?

Did you offer to pay?
Did you actually pay?
Is it polite to insist on paying?

(Both interviewer and interviewee are females)

It's silly really but the smallest things are stressing me out. If there are any interviewers on this forum, it would be nice if you shared your perspective on cheque etiquette during interviews.

Thanks.

Offer to pay but dont insist. I think you'll end up going dutch because that's Kellogg's policy. The alumnus will let you know anyway and paying the bill should be least of all your worries! Good luck with the interview!

I think I'm going MIA from gmatclub once December hits. I think all of the anticipation of admits/waitlists/denials will just drive me crazy.

Is anyone else working on R2 apps for other schools. I thought it would take my mind off of all this, but thus far it hasn't.

I was thinking of doing the same thing. I am trying to work on R2 applications, but it is so hard to motivate myself right now.

I second that. Good idea to keep off these forums!

Btw, for all those waiting for interview invite after waiver, I was reading through last year's thread (yes, I am jobless) and it looks like we can expect invites even by Dec 4th! Not too many days left now.

...And admits start happening around Dec 8th!

No way you're going MIA!! We'll miss ya too much!!

As for R2 apps, I'm only going to start them now...IMO it'll be pretty easy to focus on them with R1 interviews all done & out of the way. I think it would've been far tougher if I was waiting for R1 invites AND simultaneously trying to work on R2 apps..

Quick question: How much weightage does the Interview have @ Kellogg application process? I think I bombed my interview last week, got a bit nervous I guess - my first interview in many years!

Sad situation huh :( :cry:
