Nope, I don't. As far as my limited knowledge goes, it isn't up on the site yet. Anyways, the word limit for for essays 4 A, B, C and D says 2 - 3 paras double spaced. Isn't that a little vague? Given my lack of succinctness, I can make 3 paras drag on for 3 pages! Any thoughts on this would be highly appreciated.

In for R1...K's essays are going to be my first :)

Also, what are the main "brownie point" categories for K? I have heard Team work and that community service gets you some noticed at K- any other feedback?

I actually have problems with having to drag a couple of paragraphs into 4 pages (Stanford's app. was the most painful one I had to prepare), so I can't help too much. I'll try, anyway:

1) YOU choose the important parts rather then having the reader choose from the 3 pages you wrote.

2) Edit / chop, etc.

3) Go over the limit by about 10% (if in words) or use 1.7-1.8 spacing instead of double spacing.

That's it. That's all I have.

Judging from last year's timeline, I'm working on Kellogg's essays with the expectation of turning them in sometime the 3rd week of October.

I added the essay questions and the dates to the application information thread at the top of the forum. A little over two months to the R1 deadline.

Thanks! I do wonder what the average GMAT score is in the top schools for females... too bad b-schools will never disclose such stats... :roll:

So I am working on these essays but want to make sure I am picking a suitable layout but also want to maximize space available. Now I know they say double spaced but whats the opinion on Font, font size, and margins. I mean someone could do 2 pages with 12pt arial with 1.25" margins and get far fewer words than someone using 11pt times new roman with 1" margins.

Anyone have an advice on this.

All the professional opinions I have read state not to use less than 11pt font. Obviously you want to make it reviewer friendly.

you probably shouldn't go lower than 12 pt for Times, but Arial 10 is still readable... just funky properties of fonts...

I would definitely go with 1" margins... or 0.7...

I think Times New Roman 10pt is perfectly readable. Well, It better be 'cause If it isn't I am so screwed :(
