In Round 1 waivers went out on the Wednesday of the 6 week mark. I didn’t get anything on that day and then got my interview assignment the day after Sent from my iPhone using GMAT Club Forum mobile app Yeah I still haven't received an invite or waiver yet and I applied round 2

Yeah I still haven't received an invite or waiver yet and I applied round 2 Since no one has posted that they received a waiver I think it’s safe to say that waivers haven’t been issued yet. Waivers usually drop all at the same time. Sent from my iPhone using GMAT Club Forum mobile app

Kellogg promotional email. Well played.

Just received an interview waiver - what are the implications? Thanks.

As the email states, there is no negative impact as a result of a waiver. I too received an email. "Consequently, we are waiving your interview requirement so as not to delay the processing of your application." Waiving gives them the ability to begin their review. Again, no negative implication.

I will say that the silver lining to receiving a waiver is that if we do receive an invite for a Skype or phone interview, it is certainly a positive sign as they will have reviewed our application.

I got a waiver -- I did request a remote location where I am working, where no Kellogg alumnus is likely to live, except in a US Garrison here. Military officers, as I am thinking of it now, are unlikely to even be able to volunteer for interviews like this. Somehow during requesting I thought 'maybe there is an American base here so someone from the base might be volunteering for interviewers...'...stupid of me to think that way. However Kellogg's a far, far, faaar reach for me anyway, so I'm really not fazed.
