Tough luck Billyjeans!
I spent the most time on my Kellogg essays. I even thought my essay 3 was very creative. Wrote it as a Merger article that might appear when I graduate - I am picturing people laughing at it now. It is quite depressing to know that it is all down the drain. I was planning on beginning my UCLA essays today, but I am just not able to pull myself out of the funk :| .

why are some people having to check their status checkers n see a ding? I think the least the adcom could do is to sync it such that people get emails with news of ding/wl simultaneously or before the status checker is updated. Kind of callous otherwise!
I dont have a result yet and am still optimistic but nevertheless feel the adcom should have a standard method of releasing decisions to spare people unnecessary stress.

R1 Applicants,

What perspective should Essay #3 be in? The essay question is: Assume you are evaluating your application from the perspective of a student member of the Kellogg Admissions Committee. Why would your peers select you to become a member of the Kellogg community?

The bolded part is a bit confusing because first of all, the question seems as if it's asking why I think the student adcom member should select me-and if that is the intent of the question, then the essay should be written in first person. The thing is, how can I write an essay from the first person when I'm supposed to be the 3rd person evaluating my own profile (per first part of the question)

Can someone shed some light into this?

Far and away, the consensus on here is that there is no right answer. Do whatever feels natural to you. In my opinion, third person is a bit harder to write/riskier but it may be easier/perfect for you.

Another issue that has come up with this question is the introduction of new information (not mentioned in other sections of your app). Again, there is no correct answer but my feeling is that you can build on stuff that your previously mention but shy away from introducing something totally new. If you do want to mention something new, try to briefly mention it somewhere else.

As an aside, will someone please block me from this forum and make me do my job?

I'm applying in R2 to the MMM program, interviewing in January. Were your interview questions specifically tailored to the MMM, or were they general Kellogg questions? Do either of you remember some of the questions you were asked?

Thanks for any help you can provide.

Hi, I was accepted to MMM R1, interviewed in early October. To be honest, my interviewer only had a high-level understanding of the MMM program - he was a 1Y grad. The questions that I received were the same that many of the 2Y applicants received; why Kellogg, what is your leadership style, what would your 'team' say about you...

My interview was with adcom, the only question specifically about MMM was why MMM? Rest of the interview was a typical Kellogg interview. I'd sugest you should not look at the MMM program as separate from Kellogg. Apply to Kellogg as a whole obvi you will have to acertain your fit with the MMM program as well. The interview questions were the same as on the clearadmit wiki... nothing out of the ordinary...

As far as I understand the application system, the status is updated as decisions are finalized and entered into the system, but emails are sent out in batches so if people are continually checking status they may see the updated status before they receive an email.

Once a decision has been posted it's final. I'm not sure the thread you're referring to, but if it's in last year's applicant thread there was a technical issue last year in R1 that caused some emails to be sent to applicants that incorrectly said their status had changed.

Does status sometimes update before admit phone calls, or does the phone call always come first?

hey lbiggs, this is unrelated but I have followed your blog for awhile, it seems that I can't leave comments on your blog because the margin will always cut off the confirmation code you have to enter when leaving comments, just thought you might want to know?

btw, Jerz, please add me to the roll call, R1 applicant here, waiting anxiously for the call....sounds like it will won't be this week after all
