Bidding at Kellogg is pretty much the same as it will be at all schools. You get points and then you bid on the courses you want. 1st year you get 2,000 points and 2nd year you get 3,000 points. You bid on classes, if it has 65 seats and 100 people bid, you pay what the 65th highest amount was...so you could bid 1000 and be #20 but the #65 bidder only bid 350, and you only pay 350 and get 650 points back for the next semester.

Someone can correct me if I'm wrong, but as I understand it, this is a BIG improvement over Chicago, where you pay whatever you bid, even if you way overdid it. Not trying to start a flame war - that's just the only other school where I investigated the bidding system.

Quote:
Your first quarter, this fall, you get your classes for free. You will pick your classes and dont have to bid (thats why you get 1,000 fewer points). However, since you are MMM you will be taking classes winter quarter that no one else is really taking yet. I have friends who are MMMs who got their classes for like <10 points total during the winter...which means you can get pretty much anything you want in the spring.

Sounds good to me ;) Do points roll over to your second year?

Another question - what happens in December? I see exams end December 4th...

Monkbent,

rhyme, GmatClub's own Booth extraordinaire, Chicago charges the amount of credits that were bid by the first unsuccessful bidder. I have heard Kellogg gives more options in terms of number of sections teached, so from a supply-side standpoint it should be easier than Chicago.

I stand corrected! Good to hear - I thought it sounded rather unfair...

I now plan to sign them during DAKII, hoping that the adcoms will not hold against me the fact that I was born in 1981, not 1921, and have never used this deprecated form of payment before.
You are coming for DAK 2? When you gonna be here...bringing the little lady.

I hope I can make it, it depends on my new staffing out this Wednesday (did I already mention that MC sucks?). In case, I will obviously partake to the GC dinner. And I will bring the lady :).

Hmm, suppose if I had read your first post more carefully, then perhaps I would have picked up on that. :banana

Hi,

I myself sent AmEx traveler's cheques in the amount of $1500 (the whole thing cost me something like €1500 after insurance).

I did not sign them because I did not know they must be, I did not know nor any Kellogg person told me to*. So maybe I'm not the best person to give advice on this. I now plan to sign them during DAKII, hoping that the adcoms will not hold against me the fact that I was born in 1981, not 1921, and have never used this deprecated form of payment before.

I sent them via UPS with the slip and transcipts enclosed. Not much else to say, except that this is being a hell of a frustrating experience.

Thank you all for your answers. rca215, unfortunately I will not come to DAKII due to an approaching exam, I visited the campus last year though. I am sure that all you guys will enjoy the day a lot! Paradosso, tnx for sharing your experience, I was born in 1981 too but this deposit payment phenomena made me feel I'm five years older now :) I'll go with riverripper's advice (will send them via insured UPS package that requires a signature to accept delivery)

About the housing, I couldn't find any price guidance or range for McManus living center from its website. Does anybody have any info about that? Especially efficiency, one bedroom and twin studio.

Best,

Seems like there will be a pretty good group at DAK 2. Hopefully students schedules are free during that time.

I was surfing the IBCM site and came up with a boatload of banking information. i.e. WetFeet guides, company presentations, interview guides. I thought I would share the link: https://www.kellogg.northwestern.edu/student/club/ibank/secured_files/resources/resources.htm

See you guys soon. How do we actually go about organizing the dinner? River, do you have a restaurant that you would recommend? Should we set a deadline for people to RSVP?
