Hi all - Is a guaranteed self initiated interview still available for Kellogg applicants? Is this also available for round 2 or just round 1?

Hi Everyone,

I am very excited to add kelzo123 to the Kellogg moderator team. He is applying to Kellogg and a few other schools in Round 1. I am sure the Kellogg forum will do great under his moderation. If you have any questions, please feel free to post them here and we should be able to get back to you.

Congratulations kelzo123 and looking forward to seeing this forum grow

Thanks workout looking forward to going through the application process with everyone here!

How is everyone doing with their applications?

Ion26 according the the Kellogg application under the interview section However it does not look like there is a guarantee that you will be interviewed. It appears to be on a first come first serve basis, based upon when you submit your application. Kellogg is even offering interview waivers due to such a large number of interview requests.

I'll keep digging for more!

Hi all,

Just a heads up, Kellogg will be hosting "Full-Time MBA Program Ask Me Anything: Admissions". This would be a great opportunity to clarify any questions you have regarding the application process!

You can sign up with this link

Kellogg has several events coming up in August and September. I would definitely suggest attending one to not only ask your questions, but also to network with some of Kellogg's admissions team.

I guess the Round 1 deadlines are exactly a month away.

How are your applications coming along and what do you think is the most challenging part about the Kellogg application?

For me, it's the video essay. Recording on the spot that too about things not already stated in the essays is a little tricky.

Yeah I feel the same way, I think if you've practiced for any college interviews, this should not be too difficult though.

Looking at what Kellogg says in their application "We've read your essays, we've read your resume — now we want you to bring all that to life in a video. Show us the person behind all those carefully crafted words", I don't think its a bad thing to use some of the topics from your essays, the goal of the video is to see the personality behind the essays. I know I've already made several revisions on my essays and while I believe my essays provide a holistic answer to the prompt, it's hard to showcase your full personality while keeping your essays below the word count. This video just gives you an opportunity to show Kellogg who will be showing up for the Fall 2021 semester.

Right now I’m trying to focus on my GMAT (sitting for it on the 3rd of September)
It’s been quite a task Working full time and preparing for it.

The essay bit seems to be my “challenge” so far, but I’m certain I will figure out where to start from once I have my head all cleared out from the GMAT.



Posted from my mobile device

Good luck with your GMAT! How are you feeling? I take another GMAT next week, really trying to pop the 750 bubble both to help with admissions and (hopefully) scholarships.

What's challenging you on the essays?

Feel free to reach out if you have any questions! I'm definitely not a "pro" but I've written essays for 4 schools now and I think I've started to get the process down a bit haha

That’s so kind of you!
I’ll be sure to reach out when needed...all the best in your exam also!

Hi Everyone,

We have a YouTube session coming up this Friday on the topic "Video Essays" Our own moderator kelzo321 will be participating in the session as well
