variantguy yes, I see what you mean. I took this to mean that interview invites will be released within 6 weeks. It may be earlier (hence the 4 weeks) but you should expect some news within that timeframe. Of course, in the past they’ve released invites at the end of September, so it could be before the 4-week mark. Overall, I believe they release the invites based on alumni availability (assuming you opted for that in your application) and thus your location might impact this.
I see your point about earlier interviewees getting an apparent “advantage” over later ones because it seems like a positive indicator from admissions. But I really do think that since Kellogg tries to interview everyone (save for some circumstances), you probably shouldn’t view the timing of your invite as a reflection of anything more than the interviewer’s availability. Just my opinion based on what I’ve heard from past applicants, but others should feel free to chime in if they feel differently!
This is all to say that you probably shouldn’t stress about interview invites between now and the 4-to-6-week mark. Just take a moment, relax, and celebrate submitting your application!
And to answer your last question: Nope, not interviewing on campus! I actually visited over Labor Day Weekend, so it was tough to take time from work to go back to campus so soon after.

fatmike what exactly did you find disheartening in the newest batch of numbers? I thought it was overall fairly positive (from an applicant’s perspective) since apps fell 16% and the average GMAT fell 2 points.

There’s a reason numbers are down. Kellogg has diluted their brand to a point beyond repair. When you really think about the one year MBA program, that was the nail in the coffin. If you don’t get into the full time program... just do one of the other ones and you’ll have the same piece of paper at the end. The Kellogg MBA can’t compete with the other M7s, especially with Booth down the road. Sorry to be blunt. Planned on submitting, but decided against it.
