Kellogg (Northwestern) 2013 - Calling All Applicants

I also heard from a friend that they started calling people early last year, I am very anxious about this.. I even sleep with my phone beside my pillow...

One of my favorite posts on the Wharton thread suggests that schools hire a CPO - "Chief Panic Officer" responsible for "inciting absolute panic amongst all of the applicants". Job responsibilities to include:
1. Posing as students on the boards with messages like "Accepted!!!!! They say all the calls are done!" two days before the deadline.
2. Changing minute elements on random applicants' log in pages to see whether people notice that the font changed from Calibri to Times New Roman or that "Congratulations" was posted at the top of the page in light grey font for 2 minutes from 10:36am to 10:38am PST
3. Calling each applicant from an 847 area code on March 21st... to offer a low rate if they switch their car insurance
4. Bonus pay for having the 847 calls come from "Kellogg... we're doing a brand survey on our cereal offerings"

Role will change tactics yearly and be highly compensated. To be considered, take a $250 test. Retake. Curse yourself and retake again. Pay $250 application fee. Interview. Stress, stress, stress, stress. And then (hopefully) rejoice. Just not until March 21st

Best of luck everyone!

I GOT THE CALL!



And no, I didn't switch my car insurance

I'm using the next few hours to fill out my NCAA bracket and then drinking myself into a deep sleep until tomorrow.

Heard from my friend who applied first round that admissions sent an email the night before the announcement date for dings, and called admits on the day of announcement. Will not be sleeping well tonight. I've been so neurotic, waking up in the middle of the night and checking emails/forums/website.

Reddit and Imgur.

Maybe help things along with a few swigs of nyquil? Too addict-y?

what was the timing? (couldn't resist taking this to the next level of fixation))

1-2 am cst i think

Somehow I was convinced that the admissions people were calling R2 admits today. You can imagine my relief when I got here and found out otherwise!
