nikon-wielder, The whole process of submitting video essays is quite organized.
You go to the portal.
You practice 2 questions.
You move on to the actual questions.
In actual questions, you’ll get one question at a time. There’s a virtual assistant, who welcomes you and reads out the question for you. After he/she is done, you get 20 seconds to comprehend the answer and then 1 minute to record the video. After this, video takes around 10 seconds to process and you move to the second question

miko2010, By first question I guess you mean "Tell us something about you that’s not on your resume". Here’s what it is:

You have already mentioned the best of the best professional stuff on your resume (well, that’s the objective of the resume). So anything professional you’d mention is not going to add value. Now you can think of something personal stuff that makes you a fit for Kellogg. Think, what wxcites you the most? what are you passionate about? why do you think Kellogg is the best fit for you?
Phrase your answer around these things.

Just finished my video essay, here are the questions.
1) Introduce yourself by sharing something we don’t know from your resume
2) Tell me about a time you failed and followed a different approach
3) Describe a culture or environment where you thrived. What aspects allowed you to thrive?

Best of luck to everyone!

Hi aarshdeepsingh98,
Here’s a compilation of some questions shared by some very generous people:

1. Tell us something about yourself that we won’t know from your resume
2. Tell us about a time you were uncomfortable. How did you feel?
3. Most important piece of advice you have received, and its impact on your life

1. Tell us about yourself that we already don’t know from Resume.
2. Tell us about a time you received harsh feedback. What was your reaction and how did you proceed/ something on similar lines 🙃.
3. Tell us about a time where you used unique or creative way to solve a problem. What did you do and what was the outcome?

1. Introduce yourself and tell us something about yourself in a way we wouldn’t know from your resume
2. Tell us about a time when you helped improve a process i your company, organisation or community
3. Tell us best piece of advice you have received, how you utilised it and how it impacted you

1. Introduce yourself to Adcoms & what about you that’s not on your resume
2. Why Kellogg sort of
3. Tell us about a time you made an impact.

1. Tell us something about you which is not there on resume
2. Tell us about a time you failed and how did you improve the next time
3. What is one value or quality that you bring to Kellogg community and how will it help others?

1 - Introduce yourself
2 - When and how did you resolve a conflict
3 - outside school and outside office experience that motivated you to pursue a postgraduate education

1. Introduce yourself to AdCom and highlight one thing we won’t know from your CV
2. Tell us a time when you face unforseen Or unexpected challenges
3. A time when you solved something creatively

Hi Mandy001, A lot of thoughts go into selecting a suitable admission consultant. I would recommend you speak with at least five different admission consultants and see which one you feel most connected with. You need to be very comprehensive and clear on what you need out of an admission consultant. Some things that I’d consider are:
1. Sense of connection- I feel that not everyone can bring the best out of you. One needs to feel the kind of connection that would help foster trust. Your admission consultant should ideally have a context of your upbringing, values, and stories. For example - An excellent Indian consultant who has helped many Indian and European people get into top B-schools might not be the best one to help an African candidate
2. Fees- Different people have different fees. Candidates can go only up to an extent. You could find excellent admission consultants for under 1000 USD per school and also over 5000 USD per school. You need to set a budget for yourself
3. School-specific- Some admission consultants are very notorious for specific schools. If you have a preferred school for which you would want an admission consultant, probably explore that option

That being said, these are just a few of the things. However, much clarity comes when you speak with admission consultants. Ask them about how you would work. How the whole process will be. How frequently would you connect. What would be the medium of contact. And a whole lot of other things that you would expect from an admission consultant!
I just completed my video essays,
1. Introduce yourself and tell us something about yourself in a way we wouldn’t know from your resume
2. How long have you planned for an MBA? What have you learned about yourself and your goals through the process?
3. Tell us best piece of advice you have received, how you utilised it and how it impacted you

Just completed mine too, in case someone still has the video essay pending!: (1) Something about yourself other than what is covered in resume; (2) A misconception that your colleagues have about you; (3) What values/ quality that you have will enrich the Kellogg community (or something along those line)

1. Introduce yourself to the admissions committee by sharing something we don’t know from your resume.
2. The biggest misconception about yourself that your colleagues have, and what would you do given a chance to change this?
3. Describe a culture or environment where you thrived. What aspects allowed you to thrive?

I did not fumble, but I did repeat a few statements and phrases in my 2nd and 3rd responses.
Do you have any idea how the admissions committee will perceive that?

Hope everyone’s video essays went well!

I mentally froze 40 sec in and panic submitted the 1st one without concluding my thoughts. This definitely was a terrible look and not up to Kellogg standards. As a strong candidate otherwise, what are the chances I can overcome this with a good traditional interview?
