Guess those who haven't yet received a telephonic interview invite should say goodbye to Kellogg

I've seen a report of a ding already... check https://iamalittlemorethanuseless.blogsp ... -ding.html

Has anyone else heard similar news (positive or negative)?

That blog looks fishy and is a little vague. Maybe the author just did not an interview invite and assumed? It would be odd if someone got a ding while others were still receiving interview invites at the time.

So, in your opinion, what are some of the strengths of Kellogg? What makes it unique?

This is a more well known blog but I'm still a little suspicious. First of all, it was posted on Thanksgiving. Secondly, no word from anyone else on Kellogg decisions? It's unlikely that Kellogg admissions would interrupt their turkey dinner to send this one guy a ding....

ring ring
"Hello"
"-no the stuffing, Aunt Mary, not the mashed potatoes! Oh hi, this is Kellogg. You're rejected."
"What?"
"Happy Thanksgiving!"

No. Totally believable.

Actually this guy is pretty popular on the beatthegmat forum. So I would buy in to what he calls his ding.

If he actually had an encounter with the adcom, he would have mentioned how they reached out to him - its sounds more like someone giving up, than actually getting dinged. Judging from his writing and word choice, I suspect he is from India - likely, one of the people who got an interview waiver and never got converted.

I'd be pretty surprised if there were any decisions released last week, especially on Thanksgiving when the school administration was off for the holiday.

Also, I'm pretty sure for the past few years the first decisions to go out were acceptances, with dings starting a little later, so I'd imagine that pattern would continue.

I call BS on the guys ding unless he is applying for the PT or EMBA program which may have diffferent deadlines. They wouldnt send out dings right before the holiday and they wouldnt do it before sending out acceptances. They have said in the past that they hold off on dings during christmas so I wouldnt see a sudden change in their way of doing things.

ROFL. But I hope this doesn't happen to anyone.

You are right. I think he just made an assumption that he is dinged because his waiver did not get converted.

What is Dec 10? Communication date is the 20th. If we don't start hearing back this week, my money is on Monday for the fun to begin. In the meantime, I'm going a little crazy. If Kellogg knew how often I checked my gmail and this site, they'd definitely reject me - Just kidding Kellogg if you're reading this (but seriously).

I'm also thinking/hoping that notifications will start on Monday b/c this wait is too excruciating!

I can only imagine...

So does Kellogg call everyone who gets admitted?? I'm in NYC so if I do, chances are it'll be by phone? That IS nerve wracking!
