How did you guys find out? Did you receive an email? I'm a little worried because I had my official email address changed with the school, so we'll see if I get a notice. I'll probably try and email the KWEST leaders this morning.

**Update**: Now that I look at the KWEST website, it says trips will be assigned from June 15th - July 1st, so no need to worry yet.

One other question, when do you think we will see something about class waivers and registration?

I'd email Mia to see if there was a snafu - I'm pretty sure all the assignments went out yesterday. Might have gone to your old email address if you had it changed.

Mine also came to my @kellogg email address, not the address I had given to the admissions office. If it's not there though jb32 I'd contact the KWEST exec to see what's up.

Hi Guys,

At Kellogg Welcome page it states for the Core Course Selection and Waiver Requests
"Information on courses and waivers will be provided later" (deadline 7/1/2009) Does anybody have any info&idea about the process? Almost 2 weeks left for this and only information I could find was course specific waiver explanations at department specific pages.(I could find explanations for five core courses only)

My second question is for waitlisted folks at McManus: Did you hear anything from the school about the process or your waitlist situation? Deadline for deposit payment was 8th of June and I am wondering if they e-mailed any waitlisted candidates about his/her chance for the McManus.

Thanks in advance for your time and responses.

There was a post on the admitted student discussion board that the deadline was going to be pushed back because the information was not up yet. That's all I've heard.

FYI for folks moving to McManus: apparently they're trying to find a way to allow folks going on KWEST to move in a few days earlier than currently planned. They aren't sure yet when that will be or when they'll know, but they're trying :)

I was literally picking up the phone to call Kellogg about the status of core course selection & waiver requests when I noticed that the deadline has been pushed back from July 1 to July 13 on the to do list. They must have just done this, and hopefully they'll release details soon.

Internationals who come to the optional preterm orientation for them get to move into McManus early...I know people who did it last year and had a great time. Learn about american culture, slang, and stuff like that.

Is the course registration for the first term open to us already? If so how do we register? I remember someone telling me that we don't need to do any bidding or use any points for courses in the first quarter. Also if we don't send in a waiver for a core class are we automatically registered for that class?

CIM details are now online. https://www.kellogg.northwestern.edu/si ... e/CIM.aspx

Whoever did the graphic for "CIM City in The Second City 2009" is awesome.

The schedule looks fun & action packed. Is Second City (the improv group) really performing at Kellogg during orientation? Whoa, cool.

You can go online and check out the course information for the year if you really want. Its on the serial (current student website) under academics.

You don't bid for classes the first quarter. If you waive out of core classes, you'll be able to add classes during the add/drop period.

The main part of CIM is 1 week (Most of the activities). MORS takes over during the 2nd week, with a few orientation activities sprinkled in. The last week is pretty much only MORS.

What are you guys doing for health insurance (as in, those with significant others)? I did some independent research and found Blue Cross/Blue Shield of Illinois to be the best value. The Blue Select plan with a $500 deductible and a drug plan is about $325/month for me and my wife. Compared to about $540/month on the NU plan for both of us.

Ideally your wife will work and you get covered under her policy. You can get insurance for your wife through the school too but I dont know how expensive it is and how good it is. My wife works so I am on her health insurance and its definitely a big saver. We were actually without insurance between the ending of coverage from our jobs and start of hers. With cobra you can retroactively sign up and pay in full...basically if you get a serious illness or accident otherwise its probably cheaper to pay out of pocket for a Dr. visit and a few Rx's.
