Is anyone having trouble with essay number 3? After essay 1 and 2, I am unsure what to write about in essay 3 without being too repetitive.

If the purpose of essay #3 is to evaluate your candidacy from their vantage point then you can't introduce new information. If it's not in your other three essays, application, or resume then it doesn't make sense to include it. I think essay 3 is great because it lets you tell them how you think they should view everything you've presented.

Essay #3 screams 'community building and teamwork' to me!

Just an FYI for everyone,

I spoke to the Admissions Office and they said that the application won't go live until mid to late August.

Right, and it won't be live for at least another month.

I think I'll have my essays done by the time the application goes live. However, I'll probably have to wait a month before pressing submit in order to give my recommenders enough time to write finish their letters--since the LOR questions & instructions won't be available until the application is out.

I guess my plan for finishing all my apps before September isn't going to happen.

At least they have their deadlines up! Tuck has its questions up but thats it. No deadlines, no app, no nothing yet.

Good luck, guys. A while back someone asked about interviews: all interviews, whether with adcom, student interviewers or alumni, are blind. They will only have your resume before the interview.

You need to add Kellogg to your profile.

They've upgraded the 'My Profile' section of the site. Now you add your school information, gmat score, gpa, etc. to your profile and it will auto-populate your information into the roll call for each school's master thread that you are applying to.

I remember reading in the 2011 applicant thread that the essays are read in order, so you've basically got essays 1 and 2 to lay the ground work for essay 3.
Essay 3 does feel especially like a personal branding essay.

I wouldn't worry too much about the question of whether you can introduce new information in essay 3. The reader is more interested in whether or not you're a fit with the Kellogg culture and going to be a contributor to the community. I don't see them taking the time to check whether the information presented in that essay is already established elsewhere in the app.
