Just completed the scholarship app and submitted that along with copies of my 08 taxes and resume. Already submitted my app for McManus. Getting ready for the 8am KWEST application tomorrow morning...

I will be visiting with my wife first week of June to find a place and so we can start getting acclimated to Evanston. As far as the popular apartment buildings to look at, I've collected the following names:

1500 Chicago
Park Evanston
Optima View

Any other large apartment buildings that are popular with Kellogg students? Thanks guys!

Also, I got my package in the mail yesterday, I got all the goodies that everyone received, but only a folder with a few letters and the tuition deposit info. The other schools provided binders with detailed info - did you guys receive a binder?

Other Evanston buildings popular with students:
Optima Horizons (allows small pets)
Optima Towers (allows small pets)
Evanston Galleria (close to trains & allows large pets)
Sherman Plaza (close to trains)
Evanston Place (I think they allow small pets)

If your wife plans on trying to work downtown, the Galleria, Sherman Plaza, Optima Views are all really close to the trains. Optima Horizons, Evanston Place, and Park Evanston are a little further away.

Give me a shout when you are coming into town...it might be the week of finals though.

What's up with this 360 leadership assessment thing?

I think it's used to reverse engineer the meaning of life based on your personality.

I've taken these before, and they typically reveal the extent to which you're type A vs. whatever the opposite of type A is, whether you are an extrovert or an introvert, etc. They've actually been very useful - they've made me more aware of my leadership style and the way I instinctively tend to interact with others when I'm on a team.

Nope no binder - just a white folder with kellogg on it. Kellogg has a lot of info on their admitted students website, I'd take a look at that.

What is the general rule for following the itinerary on these trips? If you want to pass on one or two things that don't appeal to you, can you? I'm sure you aren't forced to do every activity with a gun to your head, but can you legitimately pass on a group activity without offending the leaders/group and alienating yourself a little bit? For example, if you are on the trip to Rio and want no part of the multiple dancing lessons they have listed in the itinerary, can you and another student, or you and your JV just pass on those activities without it becoming an issue and bothering a group? Or should we only be signing up for trips where we are going to want to participate in 100% of the activities?


Usually people do most activities together (outside of the free time allotted). Depends on the trip though. Some activities lend themselves to small groups going off and doing things together not as the big group (ex. day in Macao - I'd imagine you'll see a group head together off to the casino, one to spas, one to shopping, etc.). Usually the group leaders will set an expectation of what people will do all together and what people can break off in groups to do / skip.

Obviously the trip is yours to do what you please. But typically the major activities, meals, and nights out are together as a group. Usually even during activities where smaller groups will go off and do their own thing you'll see people getting back together for various things too (i.e. a day of skiing in small groups - meet up on the mountain for lunch - more skiing - meet at the bottom of the slopes for Apres Ski).

Shameless plug leading up to KWEST Registration:

KWEST Hong Kong/Macao! Glitz, glamor, and gastronomy. That's the 3G framework for those counting.


Don't forget - WEDNESDAY AT 10:00am.


That's 10:00am Central time :-D


Eeks! So turns out that I have to go watch this hearing tomorrow morning at the capitol, I'm hoping it doesn't run over and I don't get too late for sign up!

Because I have nothing to do at work, and know at least one other admit was talking about this, I've downloaded the list of KWEST trips into a handy Excel sheet so you can filter and sort by the different attributes. Holding control and clicking on a trip name brings you to the description of that trip on the website.

Enjoy.


Crap, I had spent about 20 minutes doing this myself. Wish I had read through the entire thread. Thanks anyways.

Breathing deeply. Doing finger exercises. Putting myself in the moment. Keeping my office door closed. I'm ready - bring it on KWEST.
