You either ask them during the interview or sometimes it’s already there in the invite you receive

Hi just checking with those who interviewed, how did you get notified that you got an interview from Kellogg?

Been reading that Kellogg interviews all its applicants (not sure if this is true) but I haven’t received any email from the school, and nothing has really changed on my application portal either

Kellogg tries to interview all its applicants. However, since there are around 2000 odd applicants in R1, and interviews are 1:1, it’s a little hard to interview all of the applicants. In reality, around 80-85% of the applicants are interviewed.

Please note that at Kellogg, no interview invite doesn’t mean you are rejected. It’s just a matter of logistics. Even those who have not been interviewed can still receive an acceptance. Kellogg calls it ’interview waiver’. Please read the details on official website here - https://www.kellogg.northwestern.edu/ne ... llogg.aspx

Hey,
I haven't received any emails as yet.
I already wrote to Adcoms last to last week and they said they are reviewing my application and will send out emails.

Anything I could do?

If we haven’t received an interview invite yet should we be writing to the AdComm? Will that impact my application in any way?

I already scheduled my interview with an ad-com tomorrow, but I just got an email saying that me I am matched with the other alumni. So basically, I have now 2 invitations. Is this normal? I am super confused right now.

Hello everyone. I can see in the last year's forum that there was an option in the application portal to request an "Accelerated Decision" for the Kellogg application. I am unable to see it in the application portal now. Any idea about this has been removed or would appear at a later point?

I really hope to be wrong here, but in cases where the application and interview together show high possibility of someone who absolutely doesn't fit (fake information/ too individualistic/ other issues, but very strong), they would trash that application straight away.
Better for you to wait for some time, or a rejection letter to understand what maybe the problem with your case.

Also, it may really help to get professional help with your application

Did anyone use the help of mock interviews in this group? If yes, can you please share the details for the same.
Also, just in case, is anyone on the group available in the next 1-2 days for a peer-peer mock interview?
