Guys, just out of curiosity.. do they only give admit calls to US candidates? or international folks got calls too if they get admitted? if yes, then will they take into account the time difference?

raconteur, I suggest you start studying for the GMAT, you may or may not be able to take it before decisions are made. However, an improved score will be a benefit if you get in or not. If you get in its useful during recruiting and if you dont get in but decide to reapply next year you will have a head start.

yeah, I didn't know the significance of the scholarship until I saw someone post it on BW...

don't forget, our illustrious terry12 is also a recipient.

Both of us have very difficult decisions now...

The dean of admissions mentioned the number of recipients when she called... left me kind of stunned!

Definitely have some thinking to do, kry. We'll see how DAK goes...

Kellogg seems to have been very free with smaller amounts. I know nervous, cfamiami, apolloluna, mba2010, mgoblue2, and I all got smaller amounts...I have talked to folks who have gotten 5-13k. However, they give out very few full and half rides, they give you the numbers at DAK but it was shocking how few there were considering their endowment is #3 behind only HBS and Stanford. I guess they dont have to try to do what BU does, buy the top students with lots of fullrides.

No wonder I've never heard of anyone getting a scholarship during the admit call... I thought Kellogg just did it differently (by filling out financial aid forms and stuff). I think the endowment is probably used to give more students smaller amounts to help them out with the cost. Which I think is a good thing.

River, will have to ping you for help in getting to Kellogg and lodging. I know I posted the stuff you wrote on BW here. Is there anything else we need to be aware of? Good thing April should be warmer than February.

The $5-13k is more of a tuition discount than an actual scholarship...but I'll still take it!

Hi bee,

You need your kellogg email and then you have to join the Northwestern network.

I do, I started it. You need your kellogg email and then you have to join the Northwestern network. Its the only way to ensure people are admits. I have gotten messages from WL candidates who wanted to ask questions of admits, so I am glad I set it up that way. Its annoying for folks that are in to have to wait but its better this way.


thanks, river
hmmmnn - i have my kellogg email, and i just joined the northwestern network - i still cant find the kellogg class of 2010 page - would i receive an invitation to join? - how did i get a b-school admit if i cant figure this out??? :shock: :shock:

i am quite facebook-illiterate though so that may be the problem
