Well, I had to get it out of the way eventually...

Something just compelled me to go to Kellogg's website and check on the status of my application and, to my surprise, saw a letter on the screen with this as the first paragraph:

"The Admissions Committee has completed its review of your application for admission to the Kellogg School of Management. Despite your many merits as a candidate, I regret to inform you that we are not able to offer you a place in the entering class. "

Oh well, I was halfway expecting this after I had a so-so interview with them, but it still feels like a kick in the stomach to get that first ding. Hopefully, the rest of them will be easier to take now.

Thank goodness I got into Fuqua because, if I hadn't, I'd be all kinds of distraught about having Kellogg diss me.

One more week until I hear the word from HBS and Stanford...

Marquis,

They knew they weren't your first, second, or third choice for that matter. Schools have to manage their yields...

Brush it off and keep moving.
