Interviewed with Management and haven't heard back. Another friend of mine who interviewed also hasn't heard back. My interviewer 3 weeks ago said that they are not sure how many students they can admit this year, so they need to make a waitlist. Guess the process is taking longer than usual.

Thanks for the good wishes! You must have better offers already. Good luck with the grad school and everything!

Does anyone know if there are interviews for the LGST program?
They asked for a writing sample in late January. It feels like it would be much to late to also have a round with interviews.

Thanks!

I heard Kellogg's waiting to hear how many fellowships they can offer this year. This is out of the department's hands.

I was on call with Harvard faculty recently who said email notifications will be sent out "soon" (I didn't ask, they just told me this lol).

Still haven't heard back from Columbia (CB Marketing). Do you think I should just assume it means a rejection? ?

Unfortunately, probably. Did you have an interview? They let me know I was on the waitlist after my interview. Best of luck!
