Hi all - I just discovered these forums recently. I submitted my application around December 20th and was accepted the week of Feb 14th. I just wanted to say BE PATIENT. I did a ton of research on CBS before I applied, and when I attended an admissions forum in the fall, I remember one of the admissions officers saying how they get the bulk of applications during that two week period between Christmas and the Merit deadline (several thousand apps I believe, I forget the exact number she said). If you submitted in those two weeks, you just need to realize that the majority of applicants also did, so obviously this is going to take quite a bit longer than if you submitted earlier....They don't "flex" the number of admissions staff! I learned from this process that patients is a virtue.

Mind sharing your interview date, application "complete" date (after interview), and acceptance date?

Does anyone know if it's too late to submit the application now? I am not sure whether I should submit the application now or wait for next school year? Are there anyone going to apply now? Will it help if I send the application and then visit the school in April?
Appreciate any comments.

Thanks, I interviewed and went complete a few days after you but have yet to hear back.... This is part of the problem with rolling admissions, there are many different timelines for responses and it drives people crazy :-)

Absolutely brutal. You have an awesome profile, and I'm sure the rest of the app was airtight. Best of luck in the future, dubs.

No worries, this just made it 100% that I will be at Kellogg next year. I am really happy about my options.

Best of luck to the rest of you.

With only a handful interview invites a while back and the recent 1 or 2 dings/day, I've been under the impression this whole time that there would be a wave of interview invites coming any day now. However, as each day passes, I'm starting to think that this wave is not really coming. I know the common phrase on here 'it's not over til it's over' but I'm trying to grasp if this is the calm before the storm (a good storm of invites) or just a matter of waiting til we each get our dings (and maybe a small number of interview invites). I realize that any responses would be purely speculation, but anyone else have any thoughts?

-P.W.H.

I skimmed through the tail end of last year's thread and have since concluded that there are VERY few interview invites left to come. Not anticipating a wave.

I don't understand- where is there the impression that very few invites are coming? Clearly a good amount of people were admitted in ED, which still leaves a sizeable portion left for regular applicants, most of which applied on or before 1/5.

Chaolien:

In response to your question about whether you should apply now, I am 100% in agreement with the post below by an admissions consultant. I think you'll find this relevant:

RD3 is always considered a long shot, but how about the January start program? Might that make sense for the folks considering applying now? You get to start school 6 months earlier than if you waited until next fall to apply, but you miss out on an internship.

I have a good friend who applied to both Duke and UVA in RD 3 and was accepted at both. So, if you are serious about applying then don't let the odds stop you. Just know if you decide to wait until next fall to apply, get your app in early! :-)
