Hi workout,

Thanks for sending this! I'm going to play devil's advocate (not to create an issue for the sake of it, but just to try and make sure we are getting the right information).

"will have 48 hours after the application is due to complete the video essay" I read as 48 hours after the application deadline. It doesn't directly mention 48 hours after you submit - it's 48 hours after it is due. Also - for what this is worth - it doesn't seem to make much sense for Kellogg to impose a 48 hour after submission deadline, as applicants would then simply submit their applications later (i.e., closer to the round deadline). to give them more time.

Only way to test this might be to submit the application then see what happens? Happy to be the tester but wanted to see if anyone had experience yet. I imagine Kellogg would send an email stating that your video essays are due by XX date.

Hi all,

Is it me or the video essay requirement for Kellogg has changed this year?

Previously I had the impression that after the first 2 standard questions, candidates will be exposed to a series of short behavioral questions ( aka >1 question)

However, as I skim through the Q&A this year on Kellogg website, they clearly state that there will only be 3 questions in total, with the third one about hardship/challenge.

Any thoughts?

Separate question time (I hate that I always think of these things AFTER the fact. Need to find a way to stop doing this).

Kellogg’s application instructions said to repeat the question that you were responding to and bold it. However, there’s also an option to simply copy and paste the text from your essay into a text box, instead of uploading a separate document. I took the copy and paste approach, and of course I didn’t repeat the question as I thought that only applied to the uploaded version (you cannot even bold in the text box anyways) and it would use up the word count anyways, which doesn’t make sense.

What’s your take? Hopefully this will calm others nerves as well...

I was reading the new video essay prompts. Has anyone completed theirs? For question 1, did the prompt change from ice breaker to "introduce yourself?" For question 2, can you restate what you wrote in your essay? It seems hard to give an answer that's not mentioned in the essay.

Video essay 1: Please introduce yourself to the admissions committee.

Video essay 2: What path are you interested in pursuing, how will you get there, and why is this program right for you?

Video essay 3: Each of you will receive a randomly selected prompt, all of which have the same objective. We want you to show us how you handled a challenging situation in your career or personal life. For example, we might ask you to tell us about a time you failed to achieve a goal you had set for yourself.

variantguy yes, that's correct. The video essay is due with 48 hours of the deadline.

Thanks, coltaylo94. Appreciate the prompt response!

If you requested an off-campus interview, you will receive an email within four to six weeks from the round deadline with an update regarding the status of your interview requirement.

variantguy per the email Kellogg sent after submitting the application (emphasis mine):



Hope that helps!
