@nickg1386, those are last year's questions. Kellogg makes some fairly significant changes to essay questions every year and we're guessing this year will be no different. They typically release questions mid-July so they're not actually behind schedule, it's just that all the other schools moved essay question release up this year.


No wonder it was buried. Much obliged.

This is your opportunity to explain how you Think Bravely. (500 word limit)


ESSAY 3
Part 1: What career/role are you looking to pursue and why? (250 word limit)
Part 2: Why are Kellogg and the MBA essential to achieving these career goals? (250 word limit)
(Please answer Part 2 in terms of your program choice: One-Year, Two-Year, MMM, JD-MBA).


Re-Applicants Only
Since your previous application, what steps have you taken to strengthen your candidacy? (400 word limit) Please note: re-applicants are required to answer this question in addition to #1-3.

Additional Information (Optional)
If needed, briefly describe any extenuating circumstances (e.g. unexplained gaps in work experience, choice of recommenders, inconsistent or questionable academic performance, etc.) (No word limit)


We anticipate our application will be available in mid-August. Please continue to check the website for the most up-to-date information.


Good to see Kellogg giving us some space to write. Also, removing 2 rounds per round thing is a welcome change.

Now that the application process has changed to 1 deadline for each round, I am really interested to know whether the interviews will be only on invitation or will there be an open interview period. Keeping in mind Kellogg's stance on the importance of interviews, I feel they might go for the latter.

Jum looks like you still request an interview slot and they interview all applicants. On my phone but if you look under application components there is more info.

hmm they have mentioned this under 'what is required' - 'Interview request (all interview requests are final)'

but, haven't updated their interview section on the website. That still talks about part 1 and part 2.

jumsumtak, the way we've interpreted the change is that it'll be exactly the same process, just condensed in terms of timing. When you submit your app, you'll request the interview, and it will be scheduled with you, or waived, based on the same processes they've always used. It'll just happen in a tighter timeframe than before.

Our interpretation of the change in dates was based on a motivation to simplify the app and remove barriers from candidates applying - that's what's been behind the changes at many other schools this season. Kellogg's two-part app thing was highly confusing and nonstandard; doing things the way your peers do it has some value in what's already a complicated undertaking. The applicant-initiated interview is a key element of their community and it works at this school; unlikely that it will go away.

silly question coming up:
The 3rd question has 2 parts with individual word limits. Do we need to answer them separately or it needs to be one long reply ?

Guys, are the recommendation questions made available at Kellogg? I am not able to find them. The online application isn't open until August. Do we have to wait till then to know the recommender questions?

I am throwing my hat for MMM in R1.

You should be able to find past recommendation questions online and just use them as there shouldn't be much of a year-to-year change in that area. Did anyone else see Poet & Quants post today about Kellogg now requiring a video essay too? I have seen nothing on their website to confirm this but I guess it's going to be part of the application now. You have to answer a question through a Skype-like video screen but I'm not sure when you sign up for this or how it works.

I did. It also says it is for '2014 application' - not sure if that means this year.

phew! more changes.

Yeah I assume 2014 means "Fall 2014," which would be now. But not sure. Maybe someone else has some insight?

Yeah seems so. I'm just curious when you actually do the video? When filling out the application or part of the essays before-hand?
