Calling all Kellogg Fall 2009 Applicants!

Sorry to hear it Leverandon, good luck with Ross and Darden!

Sorry to hear about the K ding!!

I am sure Ross will come through for you Lev, and I am looking forward to hearing the news!

Must have been a JD/MBA thing - one of my friends applying to the JD/MBA got his ding today too.

Interesting. Thanks for the kind words, everyone. Time to move on to thinking about other schools. Good luck to everyone still waiting.

Best of luck my friend.

I am sorry mate. I know how it feels !

Good luck for the rest of your apps. Are you still going ahead with UCLA in R2 ?

Best of luck to all the remaining waiters...

The next three days should be interesting! And hopefully fun!

I tried to check my status, but the website is hanging at the login page after i submit my login/pw.

yeah, me too. Maybe it means we got in?

Hopefully you guys got in. But wouldn't you get admit calls from Kellogg?

River said something about Kellogg posting wait lists starting today.

ditto.

Same here.. just waiting to load.

I think it is just slow at the moment.

Ya most likely people in the US get the call before they get the status change. As for the WL, its possible it starts today or it could not happen until the very last day. We will all find out soon I guess. Good luck guys.

Any other re-applicants still waiting to hear?

So with it getting closer and closer to the deadline, I'm feeling more like I'm a waitlister or a ding. I'm sure there are plenty of admits still out there, but I just have a feeling that I'm not going to be one of them. So, if not admitted, I hope for a waitlist and prolong this journey for another couple days/weeks/months.

My questions is, what do I do then, if I'm waitlisted? What can I be doing to show how much I want and deserve to be admitted? Do I contact alumni I know to give a call to admissions? Do I write a followup letter expressing my interest and any changes in my profile since I submitted my application?

When would a more final decision be made on me? Would I not expect it until after round II or even round III?

I think it is impossible to know anything at this point. Just hold on a few more days and then devise a strategy. There is no point in getting even more worked up over hypotheticals.

There are going to be admits, dings, and WLs for people in the last few days. I am surprised that GMATClub's stats are so poor so far, afterall this is a self selecting group, so it just goes to say how anything can happen at this point.

My understanding about waitlist is that if they go to it at all, they do so at their perogative, and I even heard of offers being made in the week or two before orientation starts.

I wish adcom had asked me...

can this be made into...

I wish adcom had asked me...what person/event/etc has influenced you?

also how much is 2 paragraphs in # of words?
