mamoonus : Hey all! I applied to Kellogg in R2 for August of 2025. Ive been on the waitlist after my interview ever since. I don't see any substantial updates on clearadmit. Has anyone heard anything? I have no2025-07-08 23:40:06
Graham : hey mamoonus - i have not heard anything about movement with the Kellogg list, but i suspect we are coming down to the wire with pre-term on the horizon.2025-07-21 01:00:06
Graham : it's possible they will look to backfill the class if a handful of international students are unable to get visas and such, so i wouldn't give up just yet, but we are getting to the end of the cycle.2025-07-21 01:00:55

Graham : NK03 - I think some Stanford invites have started to come out - see the reports on LiveWire. Keep in mind that Stanford truly send them out in drips and drabs, so patience is key.2025-09-29 07:49:43
Graham : Best of luck to anyone awaiting the big news from HBS today! Also, remember that unlike many peers who offer 40-50% of applicants an interview invite, HBS takes a much steeper cut.2025-09-29 07:50:38
Graham : This means that you shouldn't read too much into an HBS rejection/lack of an invite.2025-09-29 07:51:02
Graham : (since you still may have excellent chances at other programs you are targeting). In short, hang in there everyone!2025-09-29 07:51:34
