I just got off Tuck's waitlist and have to make a decision by May 14th. Any chance that Kellogg will accelerate their decision process at all? If not, I'm going to Tuck - can't take the chance of not getting in.

I'd rather ask Tuck to give you another day than asking Kellogg for a decision. I did so at NUS and they gave me another week so maybe just ask them for a day or two to take your decision

I called Kellogg on this and they told me to shoot an email with Tuck's admission letter to them explaining the circumstances. No word back, but that was only sent out yesterday. So we'll see how it goes.

it's incredibly tempting. Everything between the two is so close that the biggest differentiator right now is employment for the gf. She's a teacher and it's much harder to get a job in a small town like Hanover than in Chicago and the surrounding suburbs.

Well that and the fact that I'm in at Tuck and not Kellogg

Sorry if this is quite a generic question, but I am in a pretty confusing position with an offer for the Kellogg 1Y program (received 2 days back) and the Cambridge MBA. As an Indian with UK residency and having paid £6,000 at Cambridge as a deposit, wife working and unable to relocate to US etc., dropping Cambridge has a pretty huge exit load.

However, Kellogg is a better fit for my career goal of getting into brand management (my previous experience is in brand consulting on consumer goods and Automotive market research). My question is:

1. How powerful is a Kellogg brand in the UK compared to Cambridge MBA? Is it worth pursuing Kellogg if my end location is to work in the UK?

2. If I choose to stay back in the US - how easy/difficult is H1 sponsorship for foreign nationals? {I hear the last 30% of people to be placed on campus has a huge proportion of international/Asian students looking for sponsorship}

3. Is the 1Y in Kellogg on par with 2Y with respect to Career prospects? I reckon the huge proportion of consulting/marketing jobs goes to 2Ys who had summer internship. Will I be at a dis-advantage because of this?

4. How effective are Career treks? Can I leverage this to move back to the UK?

Thanks a lot for your perspectives!

1. I think Cambridge is the better brand in Europe
2. sorry no info on that
3. I think it would be a disadvantage to be in the 1Y programme - this is guessing though!
4. Not sure what you mean here?

IMHO - go with Cambridge, you spent some money already and even though Kellogg has a great name Cambridge is more known in Europe. Basically you mentioned all the reasons yourself - so just go to Cambridge.

Interesting. I would have expected the calls to come before the email.

Based on review of the 2012 thread, the previous poster appears to be correct: it looks like everything was pretty clear by ~12:00PM central time.

Kellogg does things differently. Infact, during R1, it sent ding/WL emails at midnight before the notification day and then called all admits the following morning/afternoon.
