I'll be out of the country on decision day, likely without cell service. Does anyone know if they leave a voicemail?

From what I've heard, they try calling all admitted candidates. Waitlisted and denied candidates receive an email notification.

As per older forum posts, in case you don't answer the acceptance phone call, the AdCom will most likely drop an email informing you that he or she tried to reach out but couldn't get through, and either ask you to call back or expect another call shortly.

And in case you don't call back/answer the second call either, there's still nothing to worry about. You'll receive your final decision via an email asking you to check the portal by the end of the day along with waitlisted and denied candidates, irrespective.

Kellogg and most of the top schools will reach out to you by phone to give you the congratulatory news. If they can not reach you, they will definitely leave a voicemail or send you a quick email to call back on a particular number. Even if you dont get a call for any reason, rest assured they will not give your spot away to someone else!!

Most schools send out the admit emails that same evening or next A.M. at the latest.

Good luck, only a matter of few days now.

I'm a Round 2 applicant and have a question about the following statement on Kellogg's website:

"All applicants are considered equally; however, the earlier you apply, the greater chance we can accommodate your interview preference."

Does anyone know if this refers to submitting the entire application early (including video essays and recommendations)
or if they start working to match applicants with interviewers as soon as they've submitted the application form?

What is YOUR personal opinion? Do not want to offend, but I guess it's obvious, nobody would start without application fee.


PS
Got it, you meant without essay and recs BUT after app fee. My opinion is yes, they will start matching, because they do not read application at all before interview

Definitely agree on them not starting without the application fee--I have submitted my application, paid the fee, and have one rec submitted. I am mainly wondering if I need to ask my other recommender to get hers in earlier.

My guess is that they won't send the interview emails out until after you hit submit on the whole application. They may have someone matched with you and just waiting to send the emails out once you hit submit. I applied round 1 and submitted like 3 days before the deadline, then I received the email to interview a couple of days after the deadline.

I received my interview invite almost immediately (in a matter of about 2 hours) after I got done with my video essays.

My strong bet would be that everything (including recommender letters) has to be in first. Some recommenders will miss deadlines and cause an applicant to roll over to the next round, so they would not want to waste time matching someone that might still roll to the next round.

But even if you apply before the deadline I would not necessarily expect an interview invite BEFORE the round deadline. They just might have them geared up and ready to go but won't send anything out until the round has officially ended. I had a client get his interview invite a full TWO MONTHS after the Round 1 deadline this year (yes, really), so like with everything else about this process, you'll have to be patient.

Hope that helps!
