Hi All,

Can any of admitted applicants/current students or alumni shine some light onto the financial aid/scholarship situation. I have not asked the adcom officer in regards to this issue when she called with decision. I received my welcome package yesterday but there was nothing in it about $$$, except taht I have to pay the deposit by March 6. Is it safe to assume no $$$ is offered in my situation? Any suggestions/comments are welcomed.

I am a re-applicant planning for round 2. Is there any one else in the same boat. Would love to connect with you.

Any have there been any re-applicants who were successful in round 1?

Congratulations to who have made to Kellogg in round 1.

Cheers.

From last year's thread it seems as though scholarship notifications came with the admissions call, several weeks after the admissions call, and with the financial aid package (which I believe comes in Feb/March). Not getting a scholarship offer in your welcome packet or on the initial call does not mean that you won't receive one at all.

The big important named scholarships are conveyed over the phone at the time of the admit. Numerous others will get word of their scholarship when they get their financial aid packages. If you didn't get a full ride when you were admitted dont hope for that. At most you probably would get about 15k.

Thank you for your responses. It was so loud in the area I was in (manufacturing plant) when I received a call that I missed half of what the adcom lady was saying :) I guess we are all find out within couple of months about financial aid---in either case I knew what to expect (possibility of no finacial support) when I started this whole process.

Cheetarah, good luck with the rest of your schools. Are you still planning to apply in R2?

Thanks alex! Let's keep our fingers crossed for some fellowships in the near future.

Yes, I'm still planning to apply to a few schools in R2. Thus far Kellogg is the only school to which I've applied. I think I'd regret not at least trying for some of the other schools I liked. Plus, if I get in elsewhere there's a chance that I can get some $$ from that school. I don't have a first choice school so I'll be stoked no matter where I end up.

That is a great result cheetarah, one for one. I definitely understand your desire to apply for other schools as well--and I'm sure that at the end of this application season Kellogg won't be the only school in green on your profile. BTW, that "too through" post of yours almost made me cry from laughing.

Hi, first of all, congratulations on your admit! Hope you will attend DAK!

Second, the fact that your welcome package contains no scholarship does not mean you will receive no $$$ in the end. For scholarship and aid, you have to wait until the financial aid application comes out (usually after round II decisions). For Kellogg the scholarship information comes (and is decided) via a separate process. Hope this helps!

So today is the official decision date for Kellogg. Is anyone still waiting to know their fate. In previous years decisions went out all the way to the very last day. Do we think that will be the case this year or did Kellogg finish everything last week? I guess we shall see.

Wierd I just got an e-mail saying my decision is available. Went to check to see if anything has changed, but it is the same decision that has been online since Friday. I wonder why there is such a long delay in sending the e-mail out.

I've gained a lot from this site along the way and figured it was only right for me to try and add some value. Here is my report from my Kellogg interview last month...

No need showing up more than 15 minutes prior, I finished my class visit and had nothing really to do so I signed in 45 minutes early and just hung out in the waiting room mentally preparing until my time slot. I interviewed with a one of the Admission Directors and after pleasantries she gave me a 30 second background on herself and began the interview. The following question stems were asked and then expanded upon by follow on questions that were all very natural to the conversation. I’ve tried my best to list them in order but no promises.

- Walked through my undergraduate experience (spent much more time on this topic than I expected seeing that I’ve been out of college for 7 years).
-Why I decided to join the organization I still work for?
-Walked through work history for the past 7 years, occasionally asking a more in-depth question specific to my job.
***Probably 60% done with the interview at this point***
-What would my teammates say my strengths were?
-What would they say I could improve on?
-What’s the riskiest decision you’ve made (didn’t answer this question in the essays, had an answer somewhat prepared though)?
-Why do you want an MBA compared to other advanced degrees?
-How do you evaluate an MBA program when deciding which school you would like to attend?
-Anything you’d like to tell me?
-What questions do you have for me?

Overall, the interview was pretty straight forward and she provided audible and visual feedback during my answers which made it much more comfortable than speaking to a brick wall. It lasted 42 minutes. She never asked “Why Kellogg?” but her follow on questions gave me multiple opportunities to pitch why I wanted to go to school there and how I was a good fit. She was very cordial and answered a few questions I had about the application process and Kellogg’s ‘semi’-rolling admissions policy. She said that because I interviewed with her, she won’t evaluate my application but will be adding her input as just another piece of it. It was less stressful than expected and overall a great way to start my interviews. I can’t compare it to much because I haven’t really done anything remotely close to a job interview since trying to get into college over a decade ago.

After my 30 hours in Evanston, I’m even more convinced of how awesome Kellogg and its students are.

Hi all,

I submitted part 1 of my application on the 12th Dec. I am from Delhi, India. I will be submitting my part 2 around the 8th Jan. Just wanted to confirm when the interview dates come? When I submitted my part 1 application there was no place to select an interview date. :-s

Not sure if it's different for international applicants but I called to schedule my interview 3 days after submitting part 1.

Good luck!

Sharma, I'm guessing you opted for an off-campus interview in India? If so, you'll have to wait (for up to 2 months from Part 1 submission) to hear back from the school about your interview. Good luck!

Question for wailisted applicants...

Did anyone happen to call Kellogg Admisssions today? What information did the admissions office provide? Did they give any feedback or gave an indication what can be done to improve the chances?

All you fine ladies and gentlemen, Happy New Year! I hope 2012 brings a flood of acceptance letters to all of us.

Now, that I have buttered you up, I need your opinion on the notorious Essay#3. I know there is more than one way to skin the metaphorical cat but this is what I have chosen:
- Write in the first person
- Do not introduce any new material but instead, refine and digest the information already presented in a more explicit manner. In other words, reveal the general themes of the application while trying not to be repetitive.

But here's the question: While answering the "impact" portion, are we still expected to assume we're a student AdCom member? As in, what would I as a student AdCom member think my impact will be?

Sorry if this is a little confusing. The way I have it now, I just answer that portion as a regular essay question, as myself (not as my AdCom alter-ego) but it just occurred to me I might have it wrong. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks!

ps: This is driving me nuts.
