Not yet. As mentioned in the mail, I believe it will be sometime in Jan. But not sure of it. BTW is there any change in the video essay date?

I don't think the video essay date matters at this point. It's probably just a glitch.

FYI, I finally received a response from Kellogg stating that we should expect the official wait list email in the next several weeks (I'm assuming January time frame).

I am assuming you wrote to the admissions about waitlist navigation. Or is it they sent the mail by themselves?

Came back here for the first time in a while, and of course I had to check my video essay date ... it's changed to the 4th.

Ditto. All it had was a link to accept or decline the waitlist offer.

Is that it? I thought we would have an opportunity to send an update...

Yup, that was it - though I think on the screen after I accepted, it said that they will be in contact with me. I'm not sure if Kellogg will have a waitlist manager for each applicant as per the years past. I really hope they do to be honest, but they'll likely wait until the deadline on the 9th before assigning applicants if it is the case.

For what it's worth, you can always upload updates to the portal at any time:

HOW DO I PROVIDE UPDATES TO MY KELLOGG MBA APPLICATION FOR THE ADMISSIONS COMMITTEE?
We will accept updates that may have occurred since your application was submitted. To submit additional documentation to your application, please visit your Applicant Status Page where you will be able to upload a Word document, PDF or scanned image file. We review waitlist applications and updates on an ongoing basis and make rolling decisions. As such, we are not able to guarantee we will review all updates as decisions may be rendered before an update is submitted.

I saw there was the option to upload letters even before asking us to accept a spot on the waitlist.
Has anybody uploaded any letters yet?

I am just wondering whether there will be any wait list manager this time. Has anyone got any info on that ?

It looks like there won't be any wait list manager this time.

I haven't uploaded any letters, and I don't think we are getting a waitlist manager.

In fact I am wondering without wait list manager, how will we get to know about any aspect of application that needs further clarification

Kellogg states that they don't provide any additional feedback or profile evaluation:

CAN I SPEAK WITH A MEMBER OF THE ADMISSIONS COMMITTEE?
We are not able to provide any specific feedback for candidates on our waitlist. If you would like to submit additional information, you will have the ability to upload an update(s) to your file; these updates will be reviewed by the committee on an ongoing basis. Should the Admissions Committee require further information from a specific applicant, a member of the Committee will reach out directly to that applicant.
