If u could plz brief about urself
Ur work ex and post mba goal
And why did u choose kellogg from so many admits?
I have 9 years of work experience. I was a Senior project manager at Microsoft and early last year i transitioned to Technical program manager in Infra space at Microsoft.

I chose kellogg because it has an amazing general management track, had interesting pathways such as strategy and growth & scaling.

I really connected with the vibe of the school. Personally resonate with Low Ego, High impact philosophy.
Whoever I reached out from kellogg was super helpful.

Kellogg also has a very big alum network and is a great family school

Hi @153588231880911, Hope you are doing great! Congratulations on the Admit!!
My question is very specific to LORs.
My recommender can't use her work email for LOR and can only use her personal mail. Will Kellogg Adcoms be okay with this or do I have to let go of this recommender?
Yes, just explain why in your app

Whether we need to be a scientist or owner of a billion dollar startup to get admitted to Kellogg
Haha...not needed. Show your authentic self and your unique brand

Hi Amulya! Firstly, congratulations on the Kellogg admit, and thank you so much for taking the time to answer questions here. Really appreciate it.

I had three questions that I’d love your perspective on, especially now that you’ve been through the process successfully:

1. Looking back at your application, what do you think were the 1–2 things that most differentiated you for Kellogg beyond stats and work experience? Did you deliberately build a consistent narrative across your essays, recommendations, and interview?
2. How did you approach recommender selection? Did you prioritize having a current supervisor, or people who had known your work and growth more deeply over a longer period? In hindsight, how much do you think recency/seniority mattered versus specificity and enthusiasm?
3. For the essays and interview, what do you think Kellogg was really trying to understand about you that wasn’t already evident from your résumé? Were there particular qualities or themes that you felt resonated especially well with Kellogg?

Thanks again , would really value any perspective you can share!
I got my unique branding very evident in my whole application. It is very essential to have a strong value proposition. More than stats and work ex, find your unique differentiator and the impact it had. That was super helpful for me as I was slightly on the higher work ex side and not in the sweet spot of 4 to 6 years. Yes, i had a consistent theme across all aspects of my application.
