just got a call, got the offer! Summer weekend program!! I am still debating if I should finish my application for Booth...

Congratulations on the admit...I am still waiting for the call. Should be anytime now !!??

Kellogg is a great school, if you are happy with it, skip Booth, my 2 cents...

To all the military/veteran friends, you are cordially invited to Kellogg's Military Preview Day, hosted by the Kellogg Veterans Association, on April 29th! It's going to be a great event where current military/vets can see what life is like at a top business school and have all their questions answered. Check out the link below for more info.

So I just got an email that said they needed to verify my background using Re Vera but I haven't heard back on an actual decision. Did everyone else have to do this before hearing back on a final decision?

I interviewed in early March on a Saturday. I don't know if this is good news or bad news.

I haven't received anything from Kellogg since my interview in March so can't really say. :(

Usually the Re Vera background check happens once the admit decision is made, which means that you could consider yourself admitted.

I believe it would not hurt calling admissions to confirm if it is really what you think it is.

Yeah, I emailed them back to ask and they said the committee has reviewed my application but needed the background check verification before proceeding with ad decision. It just seemed odd to me that they would perform a background check first before a decision since the other schools I applied to would first accept then perform the check.
