Oh thats right... a few days after I have to give out my $$$ to the GSB. I still havent made up my mind between the two schools. Sigh.

whats up with ur kellogg wait list what are they saying??
I mean did they give u any reason for waitlist

Venky - Asked my friend. Her response:

yes Queens is reputed for a strong MBA program. but the disadvantage is that it is in Kingston...so pretty far away from everything. Sometimes they have satellite campuses - but i haven't heard much about it...

York in Toronto (Schulick School of Business) is equally reputable but has the advantage of being in the city so possibility of working during the day (or network for that matter) since classes are in the evenings.

Both are on par - but I personally would go with Schulick...

Thanks for the Info

My Kellogg application has changed "completed" today. however, although I requested an interview but I haven't heard from them.
I don't quite understand the underlined line part. My interview has not been conducted, why do they still submit to thr Adcom? What do they mean? Please help to clarify?

All the required elements of your application are complete.

If your interview has been completed, the application has been submitted for review to the admissions committee. If your interview has not been conducted, the application will be submitted to the admissions committee upon completion of the interview. The next status check update will be the admission decision (Admit, Waitlist or Deny). As the majority of decisions are updated twice a week, we recommend checking the status on Tuesday and Friday, between 4:00 p.m. and 5:00 p.m. Central Standard Time. Please note the majority of decisions will be posted during the last several weeks of the deadline.

They want an app to be complete in all respects before the processing and checking team forwards to decision making adcom

I also have the same thing. My intv is long over. I am not sure whether the interviewer updated the system.

Just an FYI
Someone over in the BW forums stated they got their admin for R2 - looks like the releases are starting. Good luck to all!

cool Kellogg is still behind me for TOEFL which I am taking up tomorrow

Good Luck ! .... The issue about TOEFL is more related on the exam itself that sometimes refuses to work than on your skills in english ... A crazy thing to resume

I'm having my toefl tomorrow also...

1) Are u in for R2
2) Where are you giving TOEFL
3) Are you giving CBT/iBT??

If iBT then the issue is that u will get ur score only after 15 business days (21 calender days)

I worried if Kellogg would actually consider my case even though in e-mail they have promised to do so

Didn't apply to KEllogg yet. Not sure it I will.
I'm going to London to do a iBT there, in Lisbon we only have PBT now, and I have a dreadfull handwriting...

I am going to Bournemouth Dorset

had a crappy exam
cant believe i bombed on toefl...
i was so tired, dont think i'll get a minimum... so probably see you next year!
damn it!!!!
still cant believe it!
oh well, maybe i'll just try to have it waived being english and all.

Relax if you are confident of 80% in LC and RC and spoke clearly in spoken part and ofcourse written you must have done well considering the time that was given

Just wait for the results
BTW where in UK are u from?

I will but i'm confident I did bad.
I couldn't even concentrate...
the thing is I'm not in the UK, I wen't yeasterday morning (from Lisbon portugal), got there at 10a.m., then having lunch trying to find the place that was still kind of way from the city center.
i had slept only 5 hours or so...

Well that's what you get trying to be a smart@ss

I had a similar experience
But I was pubbing all night woke up with head ache
But i travellled 3 hours to south of england (bournemouth)
and took my test at 1:30 pm

BTW if u are planning to do MBA next year then whats the hurry??

no, i'm still planing on doing it in 2007...
Just needed a new one for R3.
alreaDy applied to 1 school still applying to some others...
By the way do you know the minimum result for most schools?
And may one say he is native english? for example if applying as an englishman, would that be acceptable?

Well I had a bad experience with Kellogg
Though I am Indian It consulting from Big3 They still didnt consider my case and insisted on TOEFL. Some colleges like Kellogg and Berkeley are real jerks in this regard

Now i am not sure what cut off is but this is my second attempt in TOEFL I had given PBT in 1999-2000 and had done badly but I got 670/677
which was a very good score.

Many feel that they messed up Toefl especially in listening comp but dont worry most scores I heard of come out well over the expectations
