To answer the question about when admits will come out, Kellogg traditionally starts letting them trickle out about 2-2.5 weeks prior to the final date. For example, the R2 admit notice date was 29 March last year, and I found out on 14 March - the very first day.

Two points -
1. It will usually be a constant flow - a little everyday
2. There will be dings and admits in a constant proportion - you may get dinged or admitted on the first or last day - I personally know several classmates admitted on the very last day (fortunately, I avoided the nerve-wracking stress of that)

Caveat - we have a new head of adcom this year, so if things changed, this would probably be the year that it happened.

Hey congrats! When did you get the invite?

Posted from my mobile device

Thanks! Got it at 4:30 PM CT.

Is it with an alum or over phone/skype?

Guys had an interview yesterday, and am really panicking if I screwed up.......
the start was great w usual questions- walk me through resume, goals, leadership and teamwork examples....
but in why mba, the interviewer grilled me on why kellogg...

similarly on what i bring to table... at this I was struggling to distinguish myself... even real points which i planned to tell and were really strong i didnt put forward :(

sharing this experience for helping anyone going now for interview...

but also guys pls help me with my paranoia... do 1 or 2 screwed up questions matter a lot??? i came back with the feeling that i had conveyed 3/4 of my story..... happened to you guys too? also admitted/current students pls help me out here

I'm still "submitted" - is that normal?

I got everything in on time but one of my recommenders sent his in a day late. I'd hate to think I've been bumped to R2 for that.

Hi Guys!
How can I check that the Interviewer has sent the interview details to the school on time and that the school has received it? I had my interview about 19-20 days after i got the details of the interviewer. SO not sure if the interviewer sent the details to the AdCom on time within the stipulated time. My application is showing complete though.

Only way to check is to follow up with your interviewer.
If you contact adcom, here is the response you will get..

Thank you for your email. As long as you attended the interview you have done what you need to do to fulfill the interview requirement. If you would like to check the status of your other requirements, you can do so at the status check page: https://www.kellogg.northwestern.edu/Pro ... tatus.aspx

I had my interview with an admissions officer on Friday and she made a point of saying they don't do rolling admissions so not to expect to hear back until the decision notification date. Not sure if they are actually doing things differently this year or if that is just something they say to keep people from calling up constantly to check on their status.

Does that interpret as all the R1 decision will be released as of Dec 19? That's a long wait...

That is what she implied to me yes. That would certainly be a long wait.

Well, it may not be rolling admissions, but that does not mean that they won't start releasing decisions early on. They mention clearly that most decisions are in the last few weeks, which implies that there is no hard date.

I don't see how I am concerned. I haven't even received an invite yet ! Or maybe they will admit me without an interview. Hmm...
