Did anyone last year get in without an interview?
Show more

I got the same email as him. I feel it’s Their way to hint the candidate of a ding and they may be sending the rejection letters later on with the acceptances. Don’t think they will accept anyone without an interview.

Just got this email. Is this a rejection? Confused!

"Thank you for applying to the Kellogg Future Leaders program. At this time, you have not been selected for an interview. The interview is a single factor in your evaluation and is by no means the most important criterion for admission. The committee will contact you personally if they feel they need further clarification on any aspect of your application."

Do we think this is a ding? It's very cryptically worded.

Did you mail them and get this reply? Or did they send you this mail?

They sent this email. I have a feeling all who didn’t get an interview call would have got this. Kellogg likes to hold onto its applicants till the last moment before giving them dings.

Based on last year's thread, this typically meant a ding. Pretty sure you need to interview to move forward in the process.

Hey guys. I checked the interview portal. Slots are only there till the 18th and they are all filled up.

Each day on average had 4 slots, and assuming interviews started on the 19th, that is roughly 20 days (only weekdays). So I am guessing they interviewed a total of around ~80 people.

I also did hear that Kellogg is selective about conducting interviews for the KFL, unlike the regular MBA program where they interview everyone. :? :$

Any idea of how many would they admit? My estimate is around 100 would get in if this is similar to other Deferred programs. If that's the case and if your calculations are roughly correct it would mean that almost everyone who got the interview would get in!

If anyone has any idea from the previous year figures please feel free to discuss, thanks!

I think there are more than 4 slots in a day? There are 73 people in last year's Linkedin group, so around 100 admits could be sent.

I wasn't sure if there are usually 4 or 6 slots. But definitely not more than 6. If we assume 5 slots a day for 24 days, we get 120 interviews. And usually colleges interview 1.5 people for a seat, so I'm guessing around 80 people might get accepted....

The numbers seem to be in line with what I was told by a KFL student. He told me that last year nearly 50% of the folks that were interviewed got in.

I suppose they would be handing out admits keeping yield rate in mind. If they want around 75-80 people joining the program, I think they will hand out around 120 admits. The yield rate for the full-time MBA is at the 50 percent levels so I'd expect the yield rate for KFL to be in the 60s. Again, this is just an estimate but I think many successful applicants would also have gotten into other deferred programs.

I never factored in the yield rates on the other side. This post makes me hopeful! :) :)

Does anyone have an idea if the results would be rolling or announced for everyone on 2nd June? I saw some posts about this in last year's thread so I got confused..

Nope. I don't think it is rolling. They all come out on June 2nd. Maybe over the day, but not rolling.

Wow looks like Kellogg (final) and HBS 2+2 (interview) invites are going to be sent out the same day eesh.

Based on last year's thread both happen.
Has anyone heard back? Any rejections or acceptances?
Best of luck to all!

Best of luck everyone!

Also, has your portal shown any change since submitting the application / interview? Mine has stayed the same.

What exactly do you mean when you say portal? Is that the application management portal? If so, mine just has an application document checklist, letter of recommendation update and an option to submit additional materials. I don't see any status field on that page.
