Unlike ISB, all the schools across the usa want the LORs submissions, respecting a deadline. Missing so will lead your application to the next round. If this year, there is a change, I might be wrong then.

The article I shared might be from two years ago, but the information is still accurate. Kellogg (and other schools using Kira) clearly state that the video essays are due within 96 hours of submitting the application. You can cross-check this in the endless Kellogg admissions pages/blogs where they’ve cited it directly. If you’re still unsure, the simplest way is to drop a quick email to the admissions office—they’ll confirm the same 96-hour deadline. But I can assure you this hasn’t changed; it’s consistent across schools using the Kira platform. and if you want to be doubly sure, you may as well submit your video assessment within 12 hours : )
