Waitlisted at Kellogg R1. Got an email to set up a call with my waitlist admissions person. How normal is this? Assuming it’s a good sign, but anyone have experience?

It’s pretty standard, was waitlisted last year for R1 and got a similar call. Once around this time (early April) and again in early July. Primarily just want to see where your head is at and provide any updates from their end regarding potential movement

Stats? Can you take GMAT again?

I believe you can. I’m MBB, 740, 3.6 gpa

COVID is going to be great for all the waitlistees! One of the only silver linings here perhaps.

Interesting take, also because international students cannot get visas right now due to embassy closure.

I feel like people don’t take me seriously at my job given that I have a junior title. Half my job consists of chasing after people and no one bothers to answer my emails or follow up. Usually the requests I have come from my boss or for big projects we’d be working on. Thankfully, my boss helps me out & emails the people I need when I tell her no one responds but they’ll answer her in 2 mins or less when she sends it. Though I’m happy she’s helping, it’s such a pain in the ass to wait around.

Hey everyone,
I have a second round interview with a saas company selling education software. This interview will be a 30 minute zoom call with the VP of sales. I am someone from a non- traditional background with 2 years of sales-ish roles but no experience in tech sales and no straight forward sales job.
I did a tech sales bootcamp. Im just worried about what questions he will ask me? Im thinking more technical in terms of sales processes and even sales funnels? Any thoughts?
