When did you submit? With those stats and your background, I wouldn't panic yet.

submitted late september, got the "complete" email late october. looks like in the past few weeks they've moved to applicants with later submission dates, but i certainly appreciate the optimism

weird, hls is really seeming to be placing a high emphasis on gpa for these early kb1's

still waiting here, too. 10/22 submission. 11/10 complete email. Definitely getting more pessimistic

Wow that's surprising. That would lead me to believe they're not going in exact order. *crosses fingers*

This makes me feel more at ease; you have close to auto-admit #'s so I wouldn't worry.

I think KB is being very conservative with early KB1s this year. It seems that Harvard is only interviewing and admitting auto-admits early this year. That's always true, I guess, but it's still a little shocking to see ppl with 3.8+ and 178+ who haven't heard anything yet. I guess there will just be a lot of winter/spring admits instead. Here's hoping anyway!

Hey all, so my app was received on 11/15, judging from timeline's on this thread, I should probably give it a rest with the status checker multiple times a day, correct? It seems like from the November apps, the wait is ~3 weeks, so I've probably got another week or so of waiting.

The same was true of JR1s last year.

Did they relent and look kindly on us pathetic 3.7x people later in the cycle?

Just graduated from undergrad this spring (so I'll be one year out). Some softs like internships, awards, etc. but nothing crazy.

Submitted 10/30
Under Review 11/7
Complete e-mail 11/17

Finally complete today!

Submitted 11/8
Under Review 11/22
Complete 12/1

Now for the horrible wait. I think that if I don't hear about an interview in the next week and a half I should probably assume that they've passed me over for now, right?

soj · Post by **soj** » Thu Dec 01, 2011 10:37 pm

No, not really.

FEE · Post by **FEE** » Thu Dec 01, 2011 11:39 pm

Why not Soj?? If last year is any indication, the second batch of KB2's should go out the 5th. Then they have to schedule all the KB1's for the third batch. The third batch of KB2's will probably go out the 19th. With my submit/ur/and complete dates I think I'm a "third batcher." So if they are going to inform me of a KB1 they should probably do it in the next 2 weeks.

When you say "second batch," does that include those of us who had our KB1 calls the week of Thanksgiving?

FEE · Post by **FEE** » Thu Dec 01, 2011 11:53 pm

Yep! If you had your KB1 during the week of Thanksgiving then I think that you should hear back on the 5th (if you're going to be accepted). If you go to last year on LSN and order the data by the decision date, you can clearly see when all the decisions were released. 11/21 first batch. 12/6 second batch. 12/20 third batch.

Oh, I misread. Yeah, if you're in the third batch of KB2s, you'll hear back about a KB1 within the next two weeks. But even if you get passed over now and held in early January, you'll still have a chance of eventually getting the KB1-KB2.

That's what I thought too, but do you think that still holds true given that some people got KB1 emails earlier this week?

Had my KB1 a little while ago. Seemed to go just fine.

Folks who were in the earlier batch, how long did you wait between your interview and your KB2?

Has anyone who didn't get a KB2 heard anything else yet?

Good luck everybody!
