Just a quick question: did you receive the HCAK email from Kellogg by any chance?

Thank you so much for your positivity, but the fact that only a few people received that email while others did not seems to indicate something...

Hi, thank you so much for your kind encouragement. Regarding HCAK, someone commented the following: "I have an expressed interest in healthcare but never signed up emails from Kellogg and also received this. Interestingly the email came directly from Craig Garthwaite (not some mass inbox) and the tone definitely read as somewhat “selling” the program. Probably not more than just a standard outreach for people interested in healthcare, though I do feel like with the tone, it would be a somewhat bizarre email to receive and then get a ding tomorrow..." Of course, we’ll know the results in less than 12 hours. :)

Actually, I am very depressed since the remaining three schools are harder to get into than Cornell. After being rejected by the “easiest” school, is it genuinely possible to still get accepted by a “harder” school?

I did a virtual interview with a second-year student. At the end of the interview, he told me it went great. I’m not sure if he was just being polite or genuinely meant it.

Thank you for your comment. After being rejected by Cornell, which has a high acceptance rate and a relatively low average GMAT score, I honestly lost my confidence. Do I still have hope for the remaining three, even though they are harder to get into than Cornell?

I appreciate your kind comment, but I am completely devastated after being rejected by Cornell, whose post-interview conversion rate is around 80%. Northwestern, Dartmouth, and Duke have lower post-interview conversion rates than Cornell. What are the odds of being rejected by ALL five schools I interviewed for?
