With interview waivers not even sent out this round, can we assume that it’s most likely a ding if we didn’t get an interview?

I think the phrasing around interview waiver is interesting. It is not so much a thing you will be notified of rather it is a status of admission. Something like admitted with waiver (highly unlikely) or waitlist with waiver. This would eventually lead to an interview soon enough.

Purely my conjecture from one of the adcom Q&A events

Interesting. So does that mean if I didn’t receive an interview/a rejection yet, I’m most likely waitlisted?

I don’t think Kellogg sends rejections before March 27th

So it’s still up in the air unfortunately

Keep your hopes up. Kellogg is the only M7 school which gives relatively less weightage to test scores and high weightage to fit. You may very well get accepted too

Man I can’t believe Kellogg forgot to send me my interview invite. It’s so silly of them, but they’ll probably send it to me any day now :’) Right guys...right?

Just got this email. How do I interpret this?

"Thank you for your patience while awaiting an interview match for the Kellogg admissions process. Due to limited interviewer capacity we are unable to schedule an interview. Consequently, we are waiving your interview so as not to delay processing your application.

Please note the interview is only one factor in our holistic evaluation and is by no means the most important criterion for admission. We will contact you if further clarification on any aspect of your application is needed.

We appreciate your interest in the Kellogg School of Management. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to email us or call 847-491-3308."
