Kellogg 2013 - Calling All Waitlist Applicants

Well, my WL manager is out of office this morning. Looks like an anxious night of sleep for me before calling early in the morning...

Good luck everyone else. Hopefully we glean enough info to know just what, if anything, we can do to improve our chances.

Called, was put through to my WL manager, but only got the voice mail.

At least now I can sleep! Good luck everyone!

Mine wont be back until 1/14. Oh well.

Also on the waitlist from R1, called this morning and left a voicemail for my WL manager. I have my update email drafted in case they need additional information. Looking forward to finding out which type of WL candidate (from the above post) I am.

Oh wow - I was under the impression you just called and asked for their contact info. Sounds like they're forwarding calls to the managers?

Has anybody talked to their WL manager? I imagine you need to be on your A game for that...

Yup, they put you through right away, so it's best to be ready! Although from the posts here, it seems no one has been successful to talk to their WM ^^

I left a voicemail for my WM & a few hours she sent me an email to set up a time to call her this week.

I called my WL manager is out of town for now, but I'm glad the game's on - here we go!

Called today and reached my WL manager. She was very friendly. We set up a call in a couple of weeks to discuss my application and ways to potentially improve prior to the next application review which she said would be Feb 11th for decision on Feb 20th.

Tried to reach my waitlist manager, but unfortunately his voicemail box was full. Sent an email instead, so hopefully I'll hear back soon!

Got in touch with my WM. Apparently I'm the type who doesn't have anything in particular lacking, it's just a wait and see. She did say they welcome any updates that might be helpful. She also mentioned that the Feb 20 date is still early in the cycle, so she didn't expect to a lot of movement on this date. Looks like there'll be a long wait for most of us!

I called on Tuesday and left a message with my WL Manager but haven't received a call back yet.

................

Was transferred from the main desk to WLMgr's VM on 8th and 9th.
So sent an e-mail to her with my interest to continue on the WL and with my contact details.

She called back same day and said that its unfortunate that I am on the waitlist and that they would look forward to personal or professional updates.
She indicated they would prefer updates closer to 2 weeks before the deadline. She enquired whether I had gone through the FAQs reg the waitlist - which i had.
And also that Feb may be too early for the waitlist to move.
I specifically enquired if there is something needed from my side to make for a stronger application, to which she said - nothing required as of now.
I closed by stating that the Kellogg 1-Y is priority#1 (which in fact it is) and I was looking forward to a positive outcome. I said something similar at the beginning of the call too.

Just curious, do you think the waitlist for the 1-yr program is separate from the 2-yr program waitlist? I imagine they evaluate 1-yr program applicants separately?

Pretty sure we have the same W/L manager. Did you reach out to him again today. I e-mailed and didn't hear back so just curious if I need to just give him a ring.
