FYI: to those still waiting for off campus interview assignments I didn’t receive mine until the day after the waiver notifications went out so don’t freak out yet.

After the waiver notifications? They said that we should expect to receive interview invites 4-6 weeks after the deadline? It hasn't even been three weeks yet?

Yes I was a round 1 applicant who requested off campus but I didn’t get mine until 7 weeks after the deadline and it was after they issued waivers.

Most people received them about 3 weeks after the deadline and then it was very quiet so I thought I was going to be waived. I imagine it will be similar for some applicants this round too.

Woah. That's wild. Trying to keep myself occupied with deadlines for my other schools. 7 weeks. Woof. While I know a waiver isn't an issue, I certainly think an interview will strengthen my chances...

Hoping my location in DC expedites the off-campus process..

I’m located in a large US city as well. Your location doesn’t do much for expediting the process. It’s really all about interviewer availability. There were/are tons of Kellogg alumns in my city but I still didn’t hear anything until after the waiver notifications went out at the 6 week mark. (I didn’t get a waiver with everyone else)

To be perfectly honest, although Kellogg says that a waiver doesn’t affect your chances of getting in, I’m not sure I agree with that....maybe it’s true for an average candidate but given my round 1 experience I am not sure that I would’ve been admitted if I had not gotten an interview. Also I don’t remember anyone on here who got a waiver from round 1 and then got an interview.

Sorry if this is coming off as overly negative, that’s not my intention at all I just want other applicants to be aware that you definitely want an interview and not a waiver. And if there is anything that you can do to guarantee an interview (like traveling to campus) and Kellogg is your top choice I would absolutely do it.

Not negative at all. I wonder if they pool together off-campus requests from the same cities and then allocate out the limited alumni resources to the most competitive applicants?

Well no use obsessing over. I certainly feel I submitted the most competitive application possible. I also would've opted for on-campus had I known they had Saturday interview slots. Work prevents me from traveling to Chicago and taking time off during the week. Oh well.

You will get it. Be Patient. :thumbup: Going to Campus for interview really helps if you haven't visited it yet!. I guess many more invites to go out by the end of this week.
