Trend seems to be quite clear..stream o acceptances, WL's and sure Dings to follow...Expecting the inevitable (secretly crossing fingers and hoping otherwise)!

1 in 2 off the waitlist seems very high an acceptance rate. Could that be possible? Also, I noticed on their waitlist frequently asked questions, they ask that no additional recommendations be sent. I have had a very high level senior executive at my company (and a Kellogg alumni) offer to send a note if I ever got waitlisted. Do you think this would be a good strategy? Or just do exactly what they say? I'm not sure yet.

Well... if they send it and you didn't specifically ask for it to be sent, then there's no way that Kellogg could take it poorly. I mean if the letter was worded such that it was "Well I heard Emarc182 got waitlisted and I'm writing regardless to tell you that he MUST be let in. He begged me not to write this letter but I'm doing it anyways."

I just wanted to give all the waitlisters out there a vote of confidence. I applied R1 two years ago and was waitlisted on the day before the final decision date. I sat on the waitlist for roughly 2 months before I got the acceptance call in mid-march, with most of the R2 admits.

Being on the waitlist means that they think you are qualified to succeed at Kellogg, but they are also trying to get a feel for what the R2 applicant pool looks like.

Don't give up hope. Show them you are interested by sending a letter updating them on significant progression in your careers, but please also be patient with the process (some WLers basically stalk the admissions officers -- don't do it).

I've been told that the "CyberC1 has no idea that I'm sending this but..." strategy is the way to go also.

So it seems from this that there is something more important than a high GMAT here? Usually you don't see a continuing upward trend in GMATs as you go from admitted to ding to waitlist...

Perhaps this is because people with high GMATs but otherwise less impressive applications apply thinking their GMAT will carry them... and people with lower GMATs who apply must really have great experience to justify applying without the strong GMAT...

...or Kellogg Adcom doesn't like smart people..
