Anyone called the adcom/current students to see what we should expect. Looks like no calls today.

Seems you're right. I really don't know how I'm going to handle four more days of this.

If I were an adcom member, I'd have a fake account here just for some good laughs. I think the best part is that the discussions are nearly identical year to year!

Guys, I was waitlisted last year and chose to waive interview this year. As the decision day is approaching, I am really starting to fidget... Last year, adcom called some US applicants before the decision date and the international calls are evenly distributed amongst the week after the decision date. So I speculate the pattern will probably be the same this year.

I don't understand..... "The week after the decision date"???
so the international applicants found out they were accepted by mail? or only on the decision date itself online?

Some international applicants were notified by phone on the decision day, while some received status change but no phone calls on the first day...

So... you mean I can stare at the the phone/ at my inbox all week, read all the posts here about happy accepted applicants, be sure that I was dinged and then just hear from them next Monday? or even worse- read that I was accepted on Kellogg's website?
That's cruel.... :)

So I know calls haven't started yet, but once they do, does anyone know if they call each and every admitted student? I.e. is not getting a call a death blow?

An effort is made to call every admitted student. This is possible because current students make some calls as well. If time zone differences make it difficult to call then an email is sent out. The decision roll-out may change this year because we have a new admissions director. I hope it's earlier than later.

I don't recall that last year. True, gmatclub is a very small microcosm of the larger applicant pool but I don't remember anyone (domestic or international) reporting any acceptance calls nor emails on the decision day. International students were definitely called about their admits on the first day admit phone calls started (I know this because one of my friends received her call day 1). Before any international student starts worrying that the first day is their only chance to get called, know that international students were called on the subsequent days that admits were called. On this board people reported getting calls over a 3-4 day period last year and then most decisions reported after that and until the decision day were denials and waitlists.

Kellogg does try to call as many students as possible but if they cannot reach you (often due to time differences) they will send you a congratulatory email to inform you of being admitted. For admits the status change to your online app usually comes 1-2 days after you're notification. Good luck everyone.
