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…
