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.

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...
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.
