Are you sure you can't just scan the transcript that you have?

Wow.. That's a lot of submissions today.

Just to confirm, the deadline is Friday, October 17th correct. And we have until EOD friday (11:59 CST) to submit it. Considering the number of clubbers who submitted today I had to go back and check the deadline.

Also, regarding the transcripts, I spoke to someone at the admissions office and they indicated it needs to be postmarked by the application deadline. They will take it the transcripts if they are a couple of days late.

GoBruins: Yes, you can submit a scanned version. However, my school color is Blue and Orange, and our transcript has dark Blue logo all over. So unless I do a very high quality scan which result big file size, I can't read anything that's on the scanned version. So... eh... I should complain to the admission office of my alma mater.

Scanned Transcripts are okay though

"encourages candidates to submit transcripts through the
online application service. Electronic submission of transcripts
expedites the processing of applications. Each candidate should
be prepared to submit official copies of his or her transcript
along with the enrollment deposit if admitted to Kellogg." got me scared

However, do we need to have sent our gmat scores to kellogg by deadline ? Now I am worried?

Should I be concerned my status just says submitted and not complete? I have my recs, transcript and all of my components so I'm not quite sure... does this just take a week or two after you submit?

Hey everyone, just got back from my Kellogg alum interview at Panera Bread. Here's what I remember:

-Walk through resume
-Why MBA?
-Why Kellogg?
-Why not stay on current path?
-What clubs will you participate in?
-What sort of impact will you make at Kellogg?
-Coming from an engineering background, what single soft skill do you most hope to develop?
-What research have you done on Kellogg?

Overall just laid back and easy, nothing stressful. It was a 2005 alum, pretty young guy and he was pretty cool. Now it's time to sit back and wait (the hardest part).

Well now.. looks like the usual suspects are still around eh Kry?

So how's things, I'm in for Kellogg R1, submitted it yesterday. Application looks tight, but then, all applications always look tight when you submit them.

Application form - check
Essays - check
Transcripts - check
Recommenders - check
Resume - check
GMAT - check
Interview - unchecked
Blank cheque to the school - unchecked

All the best guys..

They give a few days extra for recs since they know thats not totally your fault.

Thanks river. I was starting to get worried. I just contacted him and told him that he should try to submit today if at all possible. These things really are out of your control. I had talked to him yesterday morning and he said that he planned to get it in on time...
