Calling all Kellogg MBA & MMM Applicants: 2024 Intake Class of 2026

Got mine at 9:08 CT. It’s nerve-wracking…good luck to everyone!

I have two questions

1. Where are people seeing their application status change? Mine has been submitted throughout and I interviewed on Feb 6th
2. In the recent email "the wait is over" there was a link to access the Decision Portal looks significantly different from the one I had been using till date. Which one is correct and where does it reflect the status.

Link to the one I was using till now - admissions.kellogg.northwestern.edu/apply/status
Link I got in the mass email today - admissions.kellogg.northwestern.edu/portal/inquiry?cmd=welcome

Also, folks who are wondering about the mass email - yes you should all be getting it soon enough since the link (second one above) to the portal was present only there. Apologies if this is a dumb ask and has already been answered

Not dumb, we’re all trying to understand the same things. I did notice that upon clicking through the email link and logging in I was asked four poll questions(?), not sure what to make of it.

What kind of poll questions ?

got the mail a couple of hours back

Same here. Nothing specific. Is your citizenship outside the US? Why do you want to do an MBA? What sector do you want to go to after MBA? Etc.

and then it takes you to a personalized account portal

I see. Thanku

Sort of strange in the context of your application right?

The one that threw me was the one asking about club interest and the headline saying “you’d previously indicated interest in these clubs”. I can’t think of any reasons they would ask these questions (neither to the positive or negative wrt my app).

The portal says it’s personalized to my experience such as events, interests etc. so I guess that’s what the poll is for. Has nothing to do with the result of the application, I believe.

has anyone here applied for the MIM?

I got no status updates on the portal since the time I applied. Could not even schedule an interview.

However they responded back when I wrote to them

this is a very standard response they give to everyone, including MBA

Did any MBAi student here have their DAK already? It would be great if you could help me with the number of folks accepted in R1 (rough estimate would do).

+1

Hey Kellogg does it to understand your interest and have clubs reach out to you to elaborate further in case you are admitted. I got into R1, so I am free to answer any questions if you all have any! Cheers!

"Wait if almost over" titled emails did not arrive simultaneously, but came in batches sequentially. Did this have any significance in R1?

How many admitted students as of R1?
