Welcome to the 2023 Ph.D. in Business concentration sweat thread!

This is a thread for applicants (hopefully!) starting their PhD program in 2023! Use this is vent, discuss any frustrations, or random musings that you would like others to weigh in on! Best of luck to this year's applicants!

Has anyone heard from/interviewed at Kellogg MECS? There's one acceptance on Gradcafe from February 11 but no interviews which seems weird, because in previous years there's been more posts.

It does seem unusual, especially considering the timing. Perhaps the lack of interview posts could be attributed to various factors, such as changes in the application process or a smaller applicant pool this year. It's always helpful to reach out to current students or admissions for clarification.
