Hi all- I just got an e-mail from someone in the admissions office stating that they didn't have my official score report and couldn't find it in the database. Not sure how I should take this as it seems pretty late in the admissions process. I e-mailed them the official report and resent the score reports to Kellogg. Any thoughts?

This is a GREAT sign! before they make admit calls, the admissions office needs to be 100% ready with all materials and they make calls to those where some items may be missing. You can check last year's thread - all those who got such an email or phone call reported admits. If I were you, I'd be feeling very positive. Cheers and all the very best

^ they probably send out official acceptance letters in the mail in the weeks that follow your admit (that's what CBS did). Maybe that's why they want you to update your address.

Don't sweat it... Not a bad sign.

str1der, did you have info on around what page numbers on last years thread... this is probably a waste of time, but at least it will give me something to think about while I am waiting..

MDF: I wanted to assume that also, if they were going to simply ding me, why would they need to know where I am living after the notification date. But, the way this application season has gone thus far, I don't really have confidence.

When did you take your GMAT? Are you a re-applicant?

Welp, I'm imagining that this forum is going to go into a frenzy sometime next week. In the meantime, everybody enjoy what will hopefully be our last weekend of waiting for Kellogg.

Hope everyone has their fingers crossed! I'm crossing my toes too for extra luck.

Someone in my network posted on Facebook that she received an admitted call yesterday from Kellogg, and she had only just interviewed this past Monday (on-campus). Started freaking out as I interviewed off-campus back in October and haven't heard anything, but based on other comments on this board, I'm assuming this is an anomaly and most calls won't start until next week? Maybe because she interviewed on campus at the very end of the application round she got a quicker response??

I am trying to relax (easily said than done).... Most probably, our decisions have been sealed. It's just a matter of time that we get to know what they are :)

do you have any idea about what is the conversion ratio for those who are separately invited by the committee????
coz i don't..in the last year's thread of gmatclub, quite a lot of people who were invited for a phone interview were not admitted....on the contrary...in the businessweek, a lot in this situation were admitted..
any idea?

If that question was for me, then the answer is No. I had a F2F interview with an alumni (off campus) and it lasted for about 1 hour and 20 minutes. Cheers!

mangoman, phone interviews with kellogg adcom are typically 30 mins long. they are usually conducted for shortlisted guys from the pool which receives an interview waiver.

what % of this interview pool gets accepted is something that continues to intrigue me. anyone has any thoughts? rgupta83? cheetarah?- what's your take on it.

exactly...i at least want to understand whether all from a remote location who are given a waiver are later invited for a phone interview or only a few 'whose application they want to take forward' ?...if not, then what percentage of those are admitted....no matter how many times they say that waivers are not a disadvantage, I find it hard to believe unless i get specific figures...

your question has two parts. this is what i think about the first part: 100 indian/chinese students apply. they schedule 40 (hypothetically) interviews upfront, cos thats how much their alums can manage. rest 60 get waivers. their apps get read, and i'd GUESS 40 of these 60 get interview invites.
the other 20 are regarded as bottom 20% of this dominant app pool and go the ding way. This leads me to believe that Kellogg interviews 99% of total applicants.

the second part is where im intrigued. im not worried about the first lot of 40 interviews- they form a part of the larger pool of applicants who are interviewed anyway. of the second lot of 40 interviews (lets call them shortlisted candidates), how many get accepted is the question.

wow...is it really that many people who get interviewed !!! Almost sounds like getting an interview means nothing in the kellogg application process.

Monday or Wednesday?
If they have already made the decisions, they should just get it out so people can focus on R2 apps.
What is the point in holding dings to the last minute?
This is torture

I'm pretty sure Dings won't be coming out until the 19th...could be wrong though, new admissions director.
