Congrats GH and TJ. Hope to meet you this fall.

If you have any questions on whats on the admit site (deadlines, dak info, stuff like that) send me a PM. It should take a weeks or two to get your admit package (may come quicker these days but it took me a few weeks). DAK is in the middle of April, booking a hotel and flights now is a good idea. Especially the hotel since you get discounted rates and they sell out.

HUGE congrats to TJ and GH! I hope that I get to meet you both this fall. If you have any how-do-I-get-to,-from,-and-around-Chicago/Evanston, let me know. I live in Chicago so I'm happy to help in any way I can.

I'm heading up to Evanston tonight to look at an apartment - I'll be sure to send "show gmat clubbers some love" vibes in the direction of the admissions office.

Thanks everyone for all the well wishes :-D I'm already looking into flights for DAK, I'm coming out from the west coast so I want to see if I can get a decent airfare and book my hotel asap.

Is anyone else here looking to go into biotech/healthcare management after B-school? I'm interested in the biotech program major at Kellogg and opportunities for students in this field.

Dosa - I've added my profile
Apollo - I'd like to get a jumpstart on checking out accomodations in Evanston-do you know the names of a few places that are popular for Kellogg students near campus?

Congrats on your acceptance!

Which part of the West coast are you coming from? I got flights on American from SFO to ORD for $270. I know Southwest flights are slightly cheaper, but I personally don't like the way they run things.

I'll also be doing the healthcare program at Kellogg. They ended up splitting the healthcare/biotech students during the DAK forums so I don't know too much about biotech opportunities.

I flew Southwest. The only issue with that was they fly into Midway which is further away. Make sure you call a local cab company to get a pick up, they have a set price because if you just get a random cab at the airport its going to cost a heck of a lot more.

thanks all for the well wishes....it does feel great to have such a support network....

Apolloluna - i live in Chicago as well (in the Westloop)....maybe we can meet up for drinks sometime

i have no idea how to contain my excitement....waiting for that package is going to be tough....i want to see everything NOW!

now i will just try to stay calm and wait to hear from Chicago.....it will be a tough one if Chicago works out as well.....although like river said in some earlier posts, i will probably become attached to Kellogg since its my first admit

all the best to everyone waiting for admit calls.....

GH even if you live in Chicago it might be good to get a hotel room for DAK. I met several folks who were from Chicago who had hotel rooms, I think it allows you to stay out later do all the same things with everyone. Well you probably only need one on Friday because Saturday night you will end up downtown so going to your place will be pretty easy.

Anyone by chance have any class size statistics for Kellogg over the past few years? With applications being up this year I wonder what sort of class size increase we'll see.

FYI: I applied R3 for the 1Y program and just yesterday received my interview information. I'm doing an off-campus interview in Shanghai (still need to contact the guy). I submitted part 1 on Jan 26th.

Class size is going to be steady right around 650 in total with 75 1Y. Last year they had a larger class than what they wanted due to strong yield...so this year they may aim a little lower than last year. Class size is limited by the facilities.

I'm trying to decide whether my bf should come with me to DAK. He won't be moving to Evanston with me but I thought it might be nice for him to check out Kellogg and experience it. For people who went to DAK1--do you think it was worthwhile to bring your SO if they weren't going to be moving to Evanston? What sort of activities/events do they have for SO at DAK? I was just thinking if it is mostly sessions for SO about finding work or activities that the partners club has on campus, it might not really be applicable for him and it may be better for him to stay home this time.

Thanks!

I brought my bf to DAK 1. He's not moving to Evanston (staying in SF) but I think it was a really valuable experience for him. Plus, he had a great time! He has a better idea of what school is going to be like for me, he has a handle on what my classmates will be like, he met a whole bunch of really nice people. The social activities were more worthwhile for him than some of the more organized activities during the day. He said it was a bunch of young wives (he missed the first day and it looks like the guys got wise and skipped out on the 2nd day). So yeah, some of the stuff wasn't relevant but being there was really valuable for him to understand what the next two years are going to be like for me. And now he's really excited for KWEST--yay!

My wife attended DAK with me and had a great time. She met a lot of other people whose significant others are going to be there in the fall, so it was a good way for her to meet others going through the same thing as she will. Of course she also met the future students and current students and SOs. There is one great advantage of bringing someone along, they JV group did a long housing tour on Friday. They went to far more places than you could see on Sunday, so your BF could really narrow your search down for you. My wife really had narrowed down our housing options so Sunday I only really needed to look at one place (we have a dog so our options were rather limited).

They dont have to go to everything, there are lots of social activities to keep them busy and will give them a feel of what the school and people are like. Even if you are living apart chances are he will be visiting you more than you will be visiting him, thats at least what I gathered from couples living apart. Its a lot harder to go away from the school area for a weekend than to take a weekend away from the office. I met MBA2010's bf and its nice to meet people like that even if they wont be around. Now when he comes to visit I will already know him and it wont be as much introductions and he can just slide right into a group of students and other significant others without much effort or feeling like an outsider.

There is also a mens subgroup from what I heard, no where near as many men as women are involved but they do "guy" things together. They werent really represented during DAK but they are active in a lot of things. SO's can join all clubs and take part in all activities and trips (Ski and GIM) and many go on KWEST (where you cant say who is the student and who is the SO, what you do for a living, basically anything about your background).

I just got my financial aid package. Hiding my available funds worked since I managed to score full amounts of the stafford subsidized and unsubsidized loans. But best of all, I got a 10K a year scholarship...which more than made my day since it wasnt expected at all at this point. Far from a full ride but its nice to feel wanted, especially since I was psyched just to get in.

Now I am spending some time looking for private scholarships and fellowships in my industry...maybe I will get lucky.

Congrats, river! $10K ain't bad at all :-)
If you come across any private scholarships for women/finance, do let me know ;)
