| FROM Kellogg MBA Blog: Tips for applying to Kellogg – Part 2 |
|
Applying to business school is a commitment. You will devote hours to test prep, drafting and redrafting essays, practicing for interviews, perusing websites and visiting campuses. We get lots of questions about how applicants can make their application stand out, so this week, we are sharing suggestions on how you can help distinguish yourself and express why Kellogg is the right school for you. https://kelloggmbastudents.files.wordpress.com/2016/07/real.jpg?w=627 TODAY’S TOPIC: ESSAYS PREVIOUS TOPIC: Test scores The essays are your opportunity to talk directly to the admissions committee and tell your story. Since this is about you and your experiences, there’s no right or wrong answer. The essays provide insight into who you are and what has shaped you. We want to know what you’ll be adding to the Kellogg community and contributing in the classroom, so it’s really important to be yourself. Don’t worry about trying to say what you think we want to hear. It’s also important to answer the question that’s been asked, in a way that lets us know you’re writing with Kellogg in mind, rather than recycling a generic essay you’re submitting to multiple schools. Additionally, always have someone else read your essays; little mistakes are easy to overlook when you have worked on the same piece of writing for hours. Another good strategy is to have someone read over your essays without telling them the question or prompt. Have them guess, and if they are close, you will know that you’ve answered the question that was asked. We always look forward to reading every candidate’s story, so have some fun telling yours!

| FROM Kellogg MBA Blog: How Kellogg applicants are assessed – Part 3 |
|
When Kellogg admissions officers review an application, they evaluate potential students based on six categories. Here, Melissa Rapp, director of admissions for Kellogg’s Full-Time MBA Programs, demystifies what happens once you submit your materials and helps you think about how to craft the story that will help the Admissions team learn more about you. https://kelloggmbastudents.files.wordpress.com/2016/07/real.jpg?w=627 TODAY’S TOPIC: PROFESSIONAL GOALS ADDITIONAL TOPICS: Work experience, Intellectual ability Ask any alum, and he or she will tell you that Kellogg was a pivotal point in his or her career. That’s why our Admissions team is interested in learning about your professional experiences and goals; by outlining your professional goals, you help us understand how a Kellogg MBA will bridge your past and future together. Since there many different candidates drawn to Kellogg, your reason for pursuing an MBA will be unique. Some applicants have a specific idea of how an MBA will help them grow within an industry they know already; others want to pursue a significant career pivot, while still others have more general long-term goals and are open to multiple paths that might take them there. All of these reasons for pursuing an MBA are totally acceptable — just be sure that you can articulate your goals throughout the application. There are countless opportunities to take advantage of at Kellogg, so it is helpful to have a sense of where you want to end up after Kellogg journey. Identifying your goals will ultimately help you discern your pursuits inside and outside of the classroom while you are at Kellogg. We want our applicants to think about the deeper reasons behind pursuing an MBA — why they’re doing it, where they’re trying to go, how this education and their career fit together — because it helps students hit the ground running once they arrive on campus. While the Admissions committee wants to see that you have a plan in mind, we understand that these plans may change. Kellogg is a uniquely transformative experience, so we anticipate that some of you will leave Kellogg with very different aspirations than what you discussed in your application. Since you don’t have a crystal ball during the application process, focus on what your professional goals are right now. Describing your goals is not an exercise in impressing the Admissions committee; it is an honest reflection of where you hope your life is heading. We want to see a clear narrative that explains why you want to pursue an MBA. No answer is wrong, so please speak freely and openly about how Kellogg and its community will help you achieve your professional goals. Apply now!

The admissions committee is most interested in someone who knows you and your work experience, regardless of title or prior connection to Kellogg. A supervisor who understands your daily contributions could have more valuable insight for us than a Kellogg alum who is less familiar with your work. It’s a good idea to talk to your recommender about why you’re interested in Kellogg and how you want your Kellogg MBA to further your career goals, but it’s even more important to allow them to provide their own opinions and write the recommendation themselves. We know some applicants aren’t able to approach a current supervisor for a recommendation. Previous supervisors, clients or project managers may be good alternatives. If you don’t choose a current supervisor, just let us know why. (It would affect my bonus, I would be asked to leave, etc.) We understand that indicating you’re planning to leave the work force can have consequences in different industries. If you don’t have a current supervisor write your recommendation, provide an explanation in the “Additional Information” (Essays) section of the application. Apply now!
