To those getting KB1s today -- do you mind telling us when you submitted/went complete?

I posted my info above. Looks like I'm the only TLSer reporting a KB1 email today so far... hope for more!

[AntipodeanPhil]

Were the people who have KB2s all in the first round of KB1 interviews, or have people in second round also got KB2s?

Trying to cope with the fact that I am east coast and have not got a call

I was in the second round, as was AspiringAcademic and a few others.

Still, I don't think they are going strictly east-west and certainly not alphabetically. Hang in there!

Thanks, and congratulations!

Just got my KB2 a little while ago! I'm at the western end of EST.

West coast address, received the call about an hour ago

So far all the KB1s submitted/were complete before the first week of November. So, for those who applied post-October, I guess we're getting our responses after thanksgiving.

Has anyone been rejected? Or waitlisted?

[erikjc]

Is a KB1 an absolute requirement for admission, or are borderline candidates less likely to get one but more likely to be held for a while and then decided on?

[seanPtheB]

When people talk about when their apps went complete, you're talking about getting the complete email, right? So a decent amount of time after you went under review? Any idea why H does it like this?

No one will get those (WL/rejections) until next year.

Yes they are

KB2!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yes they are

So even those getting waitlisted-accepted will eventually get a KB1?

[FryBreadPower]

Under Review. Anyone know how long it takes to get a KB1 after this point? (provided you do, in fact, get a KB1)

Yes, usually it is KB1 - WL - KB2 in that case (or at least from the examples I know). I had friends WL for a week and then get a call.

It looks like they send the complete emails out in batches. In my case, I was obsessively checking my status checker and saw that it changed to complete before it changed to under review.

[Hawkeye Pierce]

Under Review. Anyone know how long it takes to get a KB1 after this point? (provided you do, in fact, get a KB1)

It depends on your numbers. People with autoadmit numbers seem to be getting them in a fairly short time span. I don't think any of us borderline candidates have gotten one yet.

[bernaldiaz]

So what percent of people who get KB1's eventually get KB2's? Any statistics out there or even best guesses?

Eh, I dunno. 172 4.0 is undoubtedly impressive, but I would still call it borderline. Here's hoping they pick up more of us scrubs in the next round

I think like out of a 1000/1100 KB1s, 800something get in. So you're not in for sure, but chances are high.

I was in the second round and I got a call... Sorry.
