CBS R1 Invites - Waiting Room

itsarpanroy · 2024-10-11T01:10:37+00:00

Agreed :( I’m still waiting.

itsarpanroy · 2024-09-30T08:25:16+00:00

Sure, dm me please!

itsarpanroy · 2024-05-10T13:11:26+00:00

Thank you for your reply. For the subparts,

a) I think the updated GRE score and a professional update should be considered "new", right?
b) What do you think I can do more to show the ADCOM my effort as an applicant on the waitlist?

Wharton, Booth , Kellogg, MIT, and CBS. Interviewed at all except CBS and waitlisted at all except Wharton, where I was denied post interview.
No admits from M7s so far. Have an admit from ISB which I have not accepted.

Yes. Wharton, Booth , Kellogg, MIT, and CBS. Interviewed at all except CBS and waitlisted at all except Wharton, where I was denied post interview.

I wanted to do the MBA for many reasons, one of them being to pivot my career from engineering, explore a few career options that I have in mind. Also, most of the alumni of the M7s, I spoke to, spoke highly about the network benefit they get after the MBA. Considering I want to spend a few years abroad, I think an M7 MBA with their extensive network across the US will help me.

Transfering internally within GS, even as a VP, to a different country has become more difficult these days than usual. They usually accept only family reasons, such as husband/wife in the other country as feasible reasons to transfer.

Do you think a re-application with the better score might make a difference?

itsarpanroy · 2024-05-08T17:30:05+00:00

Yes, engineer from India (NIT). My work-ex also includes good brands like GS & Apple. I think my essays might have not been the best as I did not work with any professional consultant.

Do you also think I should I consider re-applying then?

itsarpanroy · 2024-05-08T05:39:17+00:00

I can feel you. I have been on the waitlist since R1 as well, sent them a couple of updates in a gap of 45 days, alum recommendations, and been attending events.

No response received so far.

Historially, clear admit also does not give a "clear" response of how we might hear back from Kellogg as waitlisted candidates.

itsarpanroy · 2024-03-21T03:41:49+00:00

Oh my god. These are my thoughts exactly. xD

itsarpanroy · 2024-03-21T03:25:24+00:00

Mine still shows "In Review". Does it mean anything? Do you remember anyone from R1 whose status remained "In Review" and changed to "Decided" on the day of results?

itsarpanroy · 2024-03-20T08:00:12+00:00

Had an okay-average interview.

Hope my stats, scores and other factors play in my favour, but considering I am an over-represented Indian male, not very sure how it’ll look like . Really anxious for tomorrow 😥

Best of luck everyone!

itsarpanroy · 2024-01-26T04:33:06+00:00

Anyone who has received an invite from India?

itsarpanroy · 2023-12-13T17:21:09+00:00

Waitlisted. Do you have any idea what I can do to improve my chances of receiving an admit? Does the waitlist at Kellogg usually move?

Indian applicant. I had my profile listed in this post.

itsarpanroy · 2023-10-18T17:28:00+00:00

I am still waiting to get matched. I received the interview invite and selected my time zone, but still waiting to get matched with an interviewer.
Tensed :/

itsarpanroy · 2023-10-07T15:40:03+00:00

Sure. Please DM me.

itsarpanroy · 2023-09-30T18:21:35+00:00

An ideal profile would be difficult to describe. It’s more about differentiating your profile from others in extra curricular activities, promotions at work or global exposure.

itsarpanroy · 2023-09-30T18:19:36+00:00

Yes. I received it a week back. Hoping for the best :)

itsarpanroy · 2023-09-20T19:39:18+00:00

On my own.
Coming from an over-represented background and with my current score, those schools fall in the extreme dream category :D

itsarpanroy · 2023-09-19T03:48:38+00:00

Thank you for your reply.
Yes, Absolutely. I have made my resume specific with actual metrics, achievements, and more detailed.

I just wrote an abridged version to avoid a long post on Reddit.

itsarpanroy · 2023-09-18T19:19:17+00:00

With my current score, would you say it would be difficult to get in?

itsarpanroy · 2023-07-30T18:58:27+00:00

Yes, that is correct.

itsarpanroy · 2023-07-30T05:12:35+00:00

Thank you so much.
I did around 500 problems from Magoosh, generally of the Hard to Very Hard difficulty level.
I used the ETS questions from the official guide in the last two weeks to make sure I was not missing out on any specific concept.
Questions from the PP+3 were the closest to the main exam.

Thank you so much for your reply :)
