Question for wailisted applicants...

Did anyone happen to call Kellogg Admisssions today? What information did the admissions office provide? Did they give any feedback or gave an indication what can be done to improve the chances?

Thanks,
Ash


I called and was given a point of contact for my application. I haven't had any more communication beyond that.


Same here. I talked with my contact and he told me there was nothing wrong with my app. It was just a matter of waiting to see how they would fill the spots.


same here...apparently we are all good enough to get admitted, but then again not good enough that we are first choice....

..sh¨t... I feel like I'm in the business school "friend zone"

I called in on Thursday but my WL manager was OOO. Will try to reach her on Monday now.

I agree with the general sentiment that there's not much point really in calling up and speaking to the WL manager since we're all going to be told the same thing "You're good...just not good enough"...So although I am not motivated enough, Monday it will still be...just ticking the proverbial check box..

Hi abman1947,
If you don't mind me asking, what's your GMAT quant score?
I'm in a similar situation, I was pretty confident about my application except for my GMAT quant score...




my GMAT score is 720 ,,95% verbal, 76% quant

76% = low? To quote Einstein: "Do not worry about your difficulties in mathematics. I can assure you mine are still greater"

Sigh.

Anyone on the WL who hasn't already visited Kellogg yet planning on visiting the school?


@scorpionz: Visiting is a great idea, dude. And here are a few other things you can do to get off the waitlist and into Kellogg: https://www.precisionessay.com/2011/12/t ... aitlisted/

would any of you know whether our email update should be within the body of the email or sent as an attachment? Might not be a big thing, just want to make sure.

I sent as an attachment because I figured it would be easier for them to put it in your file, since I don't believe they would print the entire email.

I spoke with my wait list manager, and she actually told me that the admissions committee loved everything I had going on but wanted some more clarity on my career goals. She invited me to send her a mini essay to explain how I can leverage skills gained in my current industry into the new one I'm trying to enter.

Quick question. My phone cut out when I was talking to admissions in the middle of him giving me the email address of my contact. Are the emails first initial.last name or are they first initial_last name. It sounded like the guy said "dash" but I'm not sure I've seen too many email address with a dash, haha.

They said they would make Decisions on the 24th as the first wave of two waves for major decisions for the current waitlist. I would not expect to hear anything until Friday at the earliest from some admits receiving calls with reality being next Monday and Tuesday with admit calls and then some updated dings.

It is my understanding that this week the adcoms will be going off to review R2 applicants, so I wouldn't expect to hear anything if you emailed your waitlist manager.

Spoke with my waitlist manager on Wednesday. She indicated that most candidates, if not all, won't be hearing about waitlist admits for quite a while still, probably in Feb...and they are slammed right now with R2...
