Calling all Kellogg Fall 2009 Applicants!

Well you are officially the first applicant. mgoblue2 and myself are both going to be members of the class of 2010.

count me in for R1.

Keep a roll call together and we can add it to the top of the post. With Kellogg its good to keep updated since they roll out decisions.

Definitely in for R1!!

I am in for R1. Stuck with the essays though.....question for you River, in essay 1, what should be the ratio of brief carrier progrees, future career plan and why Kellogg?

I'm in for round 1 at Kellogg as well

Count me in too...

good luck everyone!

Kellogg R1

Good luck everyone!

I'm currently starting with Columbia ED essays, cause I'd like to submit as early as possible, but I'm looking forward to Kellogg's application... one of the most comprehensive.

Cheers

This is always a tough question to answer - since it will depend on how you craft the rest of your essays and what you think you need to address most. I weighted about 2/3, 1/6, 1/6, but I spread "Why Kellogg" across multiple essays last year. I did this mostly because given my short work experience (3 years - 2.5 at essay time) I wanted to highlight my work progress most. For candidates with more experience, giving more depth to your plan and why Kellogg may pay more dividends.

It really is a personal tactical judgment, and there is no right answer. Just make sure that it flows together logically and fits strategically with your plan for the application as a whole.

agree with Steel. my "ratio" was 1/4 goals, 1/2 experience, 1/4 why Kellogg (and spread over all the other essays too).

It really depends on whether your goal is very specific, how long you worked, and what your other essays are about.

Interesting! in my draft outlines so far, it's shaping up to be 1/3 experience, 1/3 goals, 1/3 why Kellogg. Don't know if that's what the final product will be like but that's where it is so far

I'm in for Kellogg R1 as well.

Just finished my first essay draft and it's 3 pages with 0.5" margins. Man this is going to be tough getting rid of 33% of the content.

thanks for providing this information

congrats on completing your first draft!!

I just completed the first outline and plan to do the writing tomorrow - I hope it comes out coherent

Hi all!!

My idea is to apply in R1

Good luck everybody!
