Hi Guys,

I am an R2 applicant. I recieved a mail stating that my interview has been waived???? What am I supposed to make of this??? Does this mean that my profile isnt strong enough to warrant an interview or that its strong enough to waive it??? I am a bit confused. Some help from seniors would be really appreciated.

Warm Regards.

P.S- I am an applicant for the 1Y stream.

Hi Pariksheet,

Would be great if you could share your profile and the program that you've applied to (1Y/2Y).

Warm Regards,
Shreyas.

Guys, I've applied in R-2.

My status is still "Submitted" since I submitted on 5th Jan.

I had chosen "Kolkata" as preferred city for i/v. Can this be a delaying factor ?

This wait is too long now.

Got my interview waived. Please throw light on this! I am more sad than happy at this reply!

Dear XYZ,

Thank you for your request for an alumni interview. We currently do not have an available alumni interviewer in your area. Due to a high demand of interview requests in your area, we are waiving your interview requirement so as not to delay the submission or processing of your application.

Please be assured that this waiver will in no way negatively impact your candidacy. The Admissions Committee understands and expects these conditions and will certainly take them into consideration when reviewing your application. The interview is a single factor in your evaluation and is by no means the most important criterion for admission. The committee will contact you personally if they feel they need further clarification on any aspect of your file.

We appreciate your interest in the Kellogg School of Management. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to call us at (847) 491-3308 or send an email to ksm-aao@kellogg.northwestern.edu.

Congratulations for the call.

When had you submitted Part-1?

[AJAIN1980]

I spoke to a Kellogg current student and he said there is no bad news if they waive off your interview. It happened with him as well.

I have also got a similar mail today regarding interview waive-off. Has anybody got an alumni interview invite from India?
