So other than one person, no one else with a post-11/15 interview has been admitted yet, yes?

Interviewed on 11/24 and admitted

Oh. Er. Eek. Now I'm furrrrrrrreaking out!

You interview back in October like I did? Losing hope in the face of December interviewees/December admits?

Guys I'm sorry for the one's that feel 620 is not good enough and greatful to the one's that understand that that is not the only thing they see.
I don't know if I am the best applicant in the world I do know I have worked all my life to become a professional who deserved something like this.

I've seen all kinds of profiles, I guess diversity is also something they are looking for and also openess to other profiles instead of judgement.

Try to keep a good spirit about the wait I am sure all of you have worked hard to assemble a solid application, don't think of why others are getting in, but rather what you've done to deserve it.

I won't sit down and explain why I think I got the opportunity, but I will tell you this: as I will be honored to share a classroom filled with bright diverse minds, most of those who get to know will feel the same way.

Well said and heartiest congratulations !
Good to hear from applicants who know their worth and don't feel the need to justify only numbers.

nhadpc,

I'm not saying you dont deserve to be accepted. I'm only trying to understand how the Admissions knows you deserve it just reading some words that you wrote and a feedback from someone who talked to you for 45 minutes.

nhadpc - congratulations! It's my honour to be admitted to Kellogg along with someone as wise and mature as you. Your response evidently shows why you more than deserve your admission.

ekalil - I think Kellogg's admission criteria ("scholastic ability, personal character, motivation, leadership ability, interpersonal skills, career performance and management potential") already explain what the AdCom sees in nhadpc. I understand where you are coming from, but there is no need to verge on insulting someone who might be your future classmate.

I think Beth called few directly herself on Friday and informed them about the scholarships. I am not sure of the other scholarships and when can one apply. BTW congratulations on your admit.

OMG, I didn't insult nhadpc in any moment. Actually I congratulated her. She, in some way, got to convince the Adcom that she deserved it.

But come on guys, it's a huge hypocrisy to say if she deserved it or not. You dont even know her. You dont even read her application. If it's tough to Kellogg to see that, it's impossible for you without the necessary information.

Best of luck for you all. I hope you enjoy Kellogg.
