Do you have any idea about the increase in the applications to Kellogg? To get a place becomes much more tough this year ...
No idea!
Just was told there are hundreds of applicants from both Beijing and Shanghai. I then asked what if we Chinese applicants find by ourselves some alumni that are willing to conduct interview for us, as we know there are many kellog alumni in some business club. They said no, that didn't work.
So many Chinese applicants this year -hundreds only from BJ and SH. Given only 10 people to admit, that big number of applicants means less than 5% will be lucky enough to have a chance to get an offer in the end.
Appears that a lot of applicants do not participate the survey on the application schools on CD.

I got my invitation on the same day that I submitted part II of the application. It may be reasonable to assume that the adcom does read part I prior to assigning interviews; however, the bulk of the application material will have no effect on whether an interview is granted, at least this is in my case.
