At this point of the game is it worth letting Kellogg know that I've had a change in work environment? (ie: shelved a start-up)

I think it isnt required. I had read somewhere that Kellogg wont consider extra material sent to them apart from the application file for taking a decision. Unless you are on WL.

Have any of the MMM admits received or heard of anybody getting the Wally Hopp Scholarship that is specifically for MMM students? I am just trying to determine if this is something that would have been offered up front or if there is still a possibility of receiving this later in the process.

I don't have an admit but I can answer your question - Many applicants receive the relevant info during 'the call' but there are quite a few who receive $$$ after a few days.

Are you admitted to the MMM program?

Most of the scholarships are open to both FT and MMM students but Wally Hopp is only for the MMM students.

EDIT: just found that you have an admit. congrats

Put yourself in the mind of a student application reviewer (which some of you may become). What are the main factors that would cause you to accept or reject a candidate? What would you look for in a candidate? If you had 500 applications to go through, how would you weed out the candidates? Just curious, plus it could be helpful to those applying next year.

1. Does the applicant have clear, well thought-out career goals? Does the applicant have a reasonable chance of achieving these goals based on their background and what they'll pick up through an MBA?
2. Does the applicant have a good understanding of what Kellogg is all about? Does the applicant explain convincingly why Kellogg is the right school for them and how they'll contribute to the community here?
3. Is the applicant an interesting person that I'd want to spend time with? Would I want this person in one of my groups? Does their application stand out from the hundreds of others that I've read?

NB: I am not a student reader. This is just what I'd care about if I were reading applications.

Great answer...

Follow-up: How does one best display their understanding of Kellogg? What makes one choose Kellogg over another top-5 program?

Fixed that for you Jerz :twisted:

:-D If I were a member of the adcom, I would add an option to automatically join the gmatclub from the online application. Then knowing the applicant's pseudo, I could see what craziness they might post, thus making the job of weeding out applicants that much easier. :roll:

Giving up hope for an admit, now hoping for the wait list. Does anyone have any statistics for what % of wait listed candidates are ultimately admitted. It can't be high....

Thank you.

Just got a quick scare from this subject line in my inbox 'Topic reply notification - "Calling all Kellogg Fall 2010 Applicants!"' Thankfully the scare only lasted milliseconds as my drowsy brain finally comprehended what it actually was. :-D

Don't know specifically about that scholarship since I'm not MMM, but I wanted to expand on what unplugged said. While there are some big named scholarships given out at admissions, there are a bunch more (including Kellogg's generic need/merit-based grants) that are given out after you apply for financial aid. For example, I got some need/merit money when they sent my initial financial aid package in April, then found out I got a named scholarship in May. If I remember correctly, many people here on gmatclub last year got some form of scholarship money from Kellogg in their financial aid package.

Ideally your understanding of Kellogg will be spread throughout all your essays: in the first essay where you talk about why Kellogg, the second essay where you talk about what leadership skills you want to develop here and the third essay where you talk about being part of the Kellogg community.

As for what makes a person choose Kellogg, I think if you asked the 1200 or so students here you'd get several hundred different reasons why they chose Kellogg. I think the best answer to this question is a personal one. Show that you understand what it's like to be a part of Kellogg, and then discuss why that is something that is important to you. Remember that readers see hundreds of applicants, so saying something like "I want to attend Kellogg because I want to go into marketing and like working in teams" is not going to make you stand out.

Quick question - when is the best time to inform the Admission's Committee that you've received a scholarship from another school that will significantly impact your decision? I recently received a full tuition scholarship to Ross, and while I haven’t been admitted into Kellogg nor do I want to be presumptuous, I was wondering if this is something you inform them of within a few days of receiving an offer or once you receive your financial aid package?

Absolutely love both Kellogg and Michigan, so we’ll see what happens. I’m from the Midwest and can’t wait to get back.

I am a JDMBA applicant. Not sure if any JDMBA applicant has heard anything as yet?
I called the Admissions office with a couple of questions. Their responses to my questions weren't very informative.

Please add me to the list of applicants.

The silence is disturbing. I fear we are entering the predominantly wl/ding portion of the round.

This is my year of applying and what's puzzling to me is that it seems that there hasn't been a lot of daily action on this and the BW board with admits, etc.. I recognize that only a fraction post but is it possible that that decisions have only trickled in so far and we're due for some waves this/next week? Is this the typical pace of decisions coming out on these boards?
