for future reference, 847 and 773 are heart attack-worthy.

I just got a call from an 847 number but it was one of my clients

. Living in Chicago makes it more difficult...

I'm guessing that Kellogg's not going to be calling us with the admit/ding though right? With a class that huge, it'd be an awful lot of phone calls.

Typically they call with admits, but not with dings or WLs.

Talk about an awkward phone call if they called dings....

Seriously? Kellogg actually calls 600+ people with the admit? Damn, now I'm nervous... Before I was just waiting for an email :-)

Has Kellogg really notified students 2 weeks ahead of the decision date in past rounds / years?

Hi guys!

I applied for R2 just before the relevant deadline, and received my interview waiver on 14 February. No news since then...do you think there is still hope (of at least receiving an int-invite) or should I stop thinking about Kellogg....?

Thanks!

Had my long awaited phone interview, it was short and not interactive. Lasted 1/2 h and apart from standard questions, not much room for reflection. I did have the feeling that interviewer probed teamwork, social skills in a dynamic learning environment. Grilled me a bit on my goals and how I wish to achieve them. A few questions for me.

had my telephonic interview with Adcom. Straight set of questions. Not much discussion, to the point.

Now the wait game begins. Good luck everyone.

Hi international applicant, had similarly applied just abt a couple of days before the deadline. Got the waiver mail early Feb, and while I had given up hope, and stopped checking / rechecking my inbox for mails from Kellogg, Viola ! Got a mail yesterday 4 PM central time to schedule phone interview on 14th ! Being an Indian applicant, the best part is - the mail was in my inbox when I got up in the morning and checked my phone ! Best feeling in the world

So, dont give up ! hang in there mate!

Wow if you have your interview on the 14th I assume they won't start releasing the decisions until everyone has interviewed. I was hoping they'd start next week...

Maybe kellogg was serious about not releasing decisions until the end of the round. Could they have been set back by all the snowmaggedon this year? Dramatic rise in applicants or competitiveness that is resulting in a slower process?

I seriously doubt that. Let's remember that we are now literally toward the end of the journey here. A 14th interview means little in terms of stopping the calls from starting to trickle out.

Though I still think that the calls are more likely to start during the week of the 21st.

Had my interview a few hours ago... uggghhh!! I officially hate interviewing over the phone now! It was my first phone interview and was nowhere as good as any of my other interviews.

Anyways, the questions were fairly standard/straightforward (no curve balls)..so nothing special to report on that front. G’luck to all!
