Admitted to Kellogg Class of 2011 Thread

thanks steel! thanks ohthatmba

i just submitted my housing application at the McManus as well. Just so much easier as an international student...and the place actually looks quite decent! Although, called me spoilt but I not a huge fan of single beds...mmm, gotta work that one out...haha

im not attending DAK II unfortunately but I'm keen to find out more about the KWEST trips!

haha - I'm leading the KWEST trip to Hong Kong and Macao, but I have the sneaking suspicion you might be interested in another trip!

Awesome - good chance I'll be joining you on that trip. Dying to go to Hong Kong. When will details regarding KWEST be released?

I had a good conversation with my Kellogg assigned 'buddy' last night. Learned a good deal about I-Banking recruiting this past year at K, and some info about housing. I'm still leaning towards renting a house with a group of guys, but if not that, then definitely renting a 2BR condo with a roommate at Optima Views or Horizons. That place sounds pretty similar to what I'm used to. In house W/D, new everything.

Also, still no word about financial aid. I'm approaching the 3 week mark since I turned in my application. I'm getting kind of antsy. I just want to know so I can figure out my budget and how much I'm going to have for housing and figure out that next piece of the puzzle. Oh well.

And I'm the OhThatMBA, when will KWEST details be released? I'm dying here for some more info.

Optima Views & Horizons both look great. Have you looked into Park Evanston? Looks nice also. I may be up for a roommate, but it'll depend on how things look after I crunch the financials (which depends on what financial aid tells me!).

Good to hear I'm not the only one getting antsy about fin aid! I want to send in my deposit, but am waiting to see how much money I get...

nice - hkg and macao will be heaps of fun...definitely places for a good party! dont expect too much from macao though, that place is like a dying city in the current economy...alot of unfinished constructions around.

if you guys want to know the good local places to eat, let me know!

cheers

For some reason it took them close to a month to send me my financial aid info, so the 2 week turnaround may not always hold true. I think I remember seeing on the admitted student website that KWEST signups will be May 10, so info should probably be up on the website soon. Also, for people going to DAK you'll get a booklet with details on all the trips for this year.

From the pictures, it looked like a twin bed to me. Is it actually a single bed?

While my girlfriend is not moving with me, she's probably going to be in Chicago often and a single bed would definitely be an issue.

Funny thing happened, shortly after my above post I received my Financial Aid award letter. It looks like Kellogg gave me a good amount of money in need/merit-based scholarships, which I'm tremendously thrilled about!!! It seems the delay for most of us was due to the office waiting for the release of the 2009-2010 student budget, which is now available under the financial aid section of the admitted student website. The biggest difference for this year seems to be the increase in tuition to $49,074. It really doesn't appear the COA went up outside of tuition, which seems a little unusual.

Wow congrats!!

Where did you see that?

the bed looks quite small to me...?

Yeah that definitely looks like a twin/single bed.

Also just for definitions, twin bed is the same thing as a single bed...

For those of you waiting for financial aid, does the Caeser application say they received your tax forms? I sent mine over two weeks ago, and while it says they received my FAFSA, it says my next step is to send my taxes. But I already did that...

Also, have you guys been hearing anything from the admissions office? My other admits are in constant contact, matching me up with alums, current students, etc. Kellogg? Not a peep - not even a response to three different emails (including one asking a week ago if they received my tax forms).

Nope - I havent heard anything either...I got an email about ACE, that's pretty much it.

I would give the FinAid office a call because every time I've called, I've gotten a prompt helpful response. I received an email about FinAid, but nothing updated on CAESAR.

My status, before I got my award letter, said "complete" next to each item on the list, so I would call the FinAid office to see whether they have everything they need.

I don't think I've spoken to admissions since they called me, other than the email confirming they received my deposit. The contact with the school has been from students: my K-bud and I have exchanged emails and talked on the phone, and someone from the healthcare club called me (I'm assuming because I had put on my application I was interested in healthcare).
