After an on-campus visit, I have decided I will no longer apply to Kellogg... mod, please take me off the roll call.

Good luck to everyone - one less to compete with in the field! :)

Nothing wrong with the school or program - just not the right fit for me location-wise. I found the campus more rural than I would like, and talking to some students it seemed like most of the student body lives near campus and spends most time of their time in Evanston. I am not too keen on the "college town" experience; experiencing Chicago itself was a huge part of why I was interested in the first place.

I visited Booth on the same trip and much preferred it there, where a larger portion of the student body lives and spends time in Chicago proper. (Also, I prefer Chicago's flexible curriculum.)

In terms of academics, activities, programs, etc., Kellogg seems excellent. It just wasn't worth working on the app for me, given how competitive Kellogg is and what I've mentioned above. I am spending my energy on the Booth and NYU applications instead.

I am done. Three apps in three weeks. I am done for this round. Now preparing for interview which is on wed.

Just an interesting thing I noticed. Do not put headers on your documents. The application system adds a header which kinda mixes with your application. If you think you need to add something add as footer. I tried putting name and essay number on each document but realized was a bad idea when I looked at final application before submitting.

Good Luck everyone.

Putting a name on an essay is redundant, I believe. They won't lose an essay document.

We're in the same boat... Can't believe I'm done with three, and now another app due in 5 days with the Kellogg interview on Wednesday (adcom in my city).

Two of my essays were above the word-limit by 15 words. Couldn't help it :(.

So that's about it my friends !!!
Submitted it just now, with 2 hours to go for deadline. I'm hoping and praying that my interview assignment isn't until the first week of November. I need to submit one on the 27th, and then SLEEP peacefully for a few days.
Good luck all. The joyride begins !!

I feel that the most difficult interview question is "Do you have any questions?" :oops:

What did/will you guys ask?

Add me to the R1 applicant list too.

I've submitted to 3 schools so far...and all is quiet.

As a reapplicant, I' m really curious if my having been waitlisted in last year's round gives me an advantage.
Thoughts anyone?

If you are being interviewed by students or alums I suggest asking stuff that you actually care about. A good one is always what do/did you dislike about School X. You will learn far more from that than getting the same response about whats great. Its also good to ask them why they picked Kellogg.

Given that people have been interviewing since before the application deadline, what documents, if any, does the interviewer get to look at before conducting the interview?

The school doesn't provide the interviewer with any documents, but you are asked to send him / her your resume in advance. So they'll just have the resume to work off of, regardless of when you interview.
