cool...but does anyone know if there's a place to put part-time work and internships during college? I quickly browsed thru Part 2 and didn't see anything either.

(seems like a number of schools don't have a section to enter this?? weird)


Of the schools I applied to (Duke, Kellogg, Haas, Wharton), I only recall inputting part-time work in the Haas application.


hm..interesting...that kinda sucks doesn't it? Like for those who have extensive college work experience like myself, there's nowhere to express this...


put it in your resume. I put my college internship on there because it was relevant to my career.

College work experience that was not relevant, I just left out...except when they specifically ask for it.


cool...can the resume be 2 pages? unfortunately for me my gpa is rather low (worked throughout college) so I was hoping for an opportunity to show the amount of work I did....

anyway, go bears.

I submitted my part 1 about 3 weeks back and opted for off campus interview. but i haven't heard from kellogg anything about the interview date or alum. How long does it take for them to schedule or am i supposed to do something that i haven't ?

have any round 2 applicants got any communication regrading the interview ?


Never mind i just got an email from Kellogg about the interview.

I cheked my status today, and it seems that Adcoms added a section to the usual "All the required elements of your application are complete" section:

As a reminder, if you have not submitted official copies of your transcript(s), you must mail them to the Office of Admissions as soon as possible. Students who have not submitted official copies of their transcripts will not be eligible to participate in key fall activities.

My question for admitted students: did you submit the official copies of your transcript before you received your decision?

I don't really see the point of mailing them my official transcripts right now. This might turn out to be a waste of paper and time in case I get dinged.


I'm not going to bother sending transcripts until I make a final decision on where I'm going. Fall is a long time from now.

So nervous that was new? Hmm you should probably ask others who are still waiting what theirs says. I still haven't sent my official transcript in. I am going to mail out a request to my undergrad to send it in soon. They dont "require" it until you accept admissions which is in several more months.

Hopefully this is a good sign for you.

If this helps this is what my status says on their website:
Quote:
Congratulations! You have been admitted to the Kellogg School of Management. You will receive your official admit letter and additional information via postal mail. We commend you on your personal and professional accomplishments, and we look forward to welcoming you to Kellogg.


Sincerely,


Beth Flye
Director of Admissions and Financial Aid

Rule of thumb...NEVER EVER go beyond one page for a resume. When you graduate from b-school your resume will be a single page why would it be longer now. In general your work you use needs to add value, you dont want to put that you worked part time at a store in the mall on your resume.

Write about what you did for work in an optional essay and why it affected your GPA. Make sure to say why you worked and what you learned.

That is true for professional resumes...but I've come to realize that bschool apps are another beast, and that some schools do indeed ask for (or allow) 2 page resumes. Chicago is a good example (where I just got a fat ding arrrghgh) and I think there are others.

Anyway, so Kellogg does not allow more than 1 page then?

aceman626,

As river said, I would keep your resume to 1 page. If you are asked for a detailed resume, then you can go over the 1-page limit but since it's a standard resume, keep it short and sweet.

FWIW
I went over 1 page for Chicago (and got in), but kept it to 1 page for Kellogg (and am awaiting decision).

So, today was the only day I somehow managed to forget about my cell phone. I left it in the pocket of my coat. At 4:55 it occurs to me that I haven't seen it for the entire day. At 4:56 I see a missed call from an 847 number. I get excited but then calm myself down because I know that a call should come from the "unknown" number. Nevertheless, I still listen to the voice-mail and guess what I hear???

" I am very excited to let you know that you were admitted to the 2-year program."
I start jumping up and down while my coworkers stare at me like “what is wrong on with you?”.

I AM ADMITTED TO KELLOGG!!! HOLY SH*T!!!

The call came in at 3:15 EST.

I do not have that same notice, hopefully it means you will get a call from an unknown number soon!

regarding R2, I submitted my Part I back in November, first week, still haven't heard anything about an off-campus interview yet. Maybe that's a ding without even reading my essays? :P

I got mine today and the one thing i hated about the communication was that it did not indicate the gender of the alum. I wrote an email opening with Dear Mr. xxx. that carries a 33% chance of me screwing up considering 33% grads are women. Will find soon enough.
