If you've interviewed already, what does your application portal say under "Next Steps"? I interviewed several weeks ago with a current student, but my application portal still says "Interview scheduled with volunteer" with logistics of the interview underneath. Wondering if others are seeing the same thing or something different. Thanks!

Are Kellogg interviews rolling? Is there any benefit on submitting before the deadline?

Has anyone received a Kellogg invite recently? The latest ClearAdmit update was at the end of October. I’m wondering if I should let it go.

Does kellogg admit candidates for their mim programme with GMAT waiver. Moreover, do universities notify if they have not selected us for further process ?
