Wow .. 63 pages! Looks like Kellogg is a hot favourite here!
What did I miss? :)

I am struggling with essay 3.
It says I have to evaluate my app from the perspective of a student member of the Adcom.
Does that mean I cannot provide any new information in this essay and have to comment on material presented elsewhere in the app?
If so, that would leave very little scope for me to talk about my application as *technically*,
I haven't even seen my LOR.
Would like to know how you guys are tackling this beast.

WW

I used this essay to tie my themes together and expand on items on my resume or background (that is already in my profile) that haven't been discussed in details elsewhere. The benefit here is that you can make the most straight-forward case for your candidacy, and draw evidence from what you have presented so far. btw I also wrote in first person.

I think the key here is to understand what "student committee member" is looking for, and focus on the qualities that make you a desirable classmate and link it with your potential contributions

Was split between writing in first vs. third person... to be honest, think the question could be interpreted either way and don't think it makes that much of a difference, as long as the content is nailed.

forgive my ignorace.... But If 3rd essay can be written in first person, the first part of the question becomes irrelevant doesnt it?

I think the point is why would your peer like you. Like admission staff probably care about yield and GPA/GMAT, while peer would care about you as a teammate/classmate/insight in discussions more.

Agree with GoBruins completely (nice username, by the way ;))

I wrote in 1st person and did not even touch on anything I addressed in Essay 1. I nterpreted the question to be: Why would my peers want me to be part of their class (as a team member, classmate, friend, etc)? and focused on how my personality fit with the Kellogg culture.

Best of luck.

Count me in for Round 2.

How did you guys approach the 4th question? I am looking at it as an opportunity to be creative and show a side of me that hasnt been shown in the boring other essays.

Likewise, my content was why I was a good fit + the things I can bring to Kellogg. Wrote in third person.

As long as message is good think both 1st and 3rd person works!

probably to make space for out of town applicants who want to use the interview time as an opportunity to do school visit as well. not everyone has the funds to do visits for the hell of it, many people prefer to only visit the schools they receive interview invites for. since you all live in the area, you could have visited at any time.


BTW, submitted tonight! good luck everyone

Hi
Does the Kellogg application have any formatting instruction for the essays. I was not able to find anywhere. What formatting did everyone here use? Thanks for answering.

12 point font, double-spaced is always the safest way to go in the absence of specific instructions. Stick to Times New Roman or Garamond - nothing fancy, of course.
