Admitted candidates, congratulations. I have a question about recos.

Can one recommendation be from an extra-curricular activity? Kellogg wesbite indicates Two (2) Career Progress Survey reports from individuals able to evaluate job performance, one preferably your current manager.

Thanks

poochandi, I would suggest using two professional references. Its a "career progress survey"

You should also ask this in the generic Kellogg applicant thread.

The UPS site says billing information received and has had the same message for a while. I called and they said that they had had some problems with the shipment of packages but that those had also been largely corrected and that I should be receiving info soon. Still paranoid until I actually get it though.

TWENTY admitted in R1?! Wow, good work guys!!!

I would recommend sharing rooms if you want to save money. terry12 and I shared a room (3 days at $150/day tax included can be a bit) and ghgirl and I shared a cab from the airport. :)

Wow, exciting!

I read on another thread that Kellogg has assigned "buddies" to some admits. I haven't received one yet. How did you get this information (email, call, admit package, etc)?

From what I know they are still trying to match people up with folks that have similar backgrounds and/or career goals. They try to match people the best they can, so its a lot of manual work.
