did anyone receive this email?

"Due to limited capacity at this time we are unable to schedule an interview. Consequently, we are waiving your interview so as not to delay the processing of your application."

another way of saying you’re dinged?

I got the same email and I have the same question!
Any way to know what happened to such people in previous years?

I doubt that

I got the waiver thing also but it just too much risk for the program to not know ppl’s presentation/english skills and offer them a seat at M7

if they change their mind who knows you might be waitlisted and get contacted in R2

for interview

Kellogg aims to interview all its applicants. However, given the logistics and other reasons, it is not possible to interview all the applicants and eventually 85-90% applicants are interviewed. The rest 10-15% applicants are said to have received an interview waiver. These people will receive an application update without having to appear for the interview. Now, logically there could be any reason to get an interview waiver, but there are only three possible outcomes:
1. You get admitted - without interview, admission committee has one less dimension to evaluate you on. Therefore, if the rest of your application portrays you in a way that the adcoms wouldn’t wanna miss having you at their school, then it’s probable that they will roll out an admit without an interview
2. You get waitlisted - candidates may receive an interview invite in the following rounds
3. You get a ding - if the adcoms feel that your overall profile is not competitive enough for Kellogg, they may reject you

Statistically speaking, there have been cases of all the three scenarios, but a probability of getting a ding is the highest.

I was under the impression Kellogg HAS to interview you for an admit. Are you certain people get admitted with an interview waiver?

People could still get an admit without an interview. Though that is extremely rare. The most usual outcome with an interview waiver has been ding or waitlist.

Anyone who still hasn’t received either an interview invite or a waiver? Just curious.
