Awesome job getting your applications prepped and ready! 👍

Hi, just curious, did you really get an interview invite from Kellogg 1 day after Round 1 deadline?
Edit: Sorry I didn't know Kellogg interview all applicants.

Kelly interviews almost all applicants. There are some capacity constraints and things like that but for round one yes.

There’s a number of other programs that guarantee an interview if you apply in round one such as tuck, Dan, and I think Fuqua as well.

Thanks @bb. I didn't know that, but according to this post, I guess they've recently changed their interview thing or am I missing something?

I see the confusion. I am not sure how that bounces against the suggested post interview acceptance rate of 51%. It should be roughly equal to the overall acceptance rate since Kellogg interviews roughly all applicants.

Good question. I think Kellogg has been interviewing people for a while so I’m not sure about that stat… would not add up 😬

Would love to connect with you about this process. Marine Corps vet here and currently working as a civ for the Air Force. Feeling a little intimidated by the whole process!

Welcome to GMAT Club! Awesome to have you. By the way, we just started a topic specifically for military applicants to connect: https://gmatclub.com/forum/calling-all- ... 18139.html

Fantastic GRE Score by the way! Really amazing!

By the way, Schools don't count military experience as full time employment in their applications (which is a good thing) so they would say you have 2 years (but it is not a problem per se if you put in 13 in your applications). Traditionally they would not want to bring someone with 13 years under their belt but they love SOF applicants.

Looks like you got all your apps in already and likely in touch with the veterans clubs. I assume you also know about the Veterans visit days. I would recommend visiting at least one for one school to meet some of the other applicants and connect with some folks and start building a network. My cousin did Westpoint and a few deployments and talking to people and reintegrating was hard for him. It took a big toll on him, so it is hard. Thank you for your sacrifice and your time. Anything you need help with, please don't hesitate to DM.

Thanks for the support and encouragement BB. I will checkout the military specific forum. GMAT club is a great forum, appreciate all the time and effort placed by the contributors to help with application process.

Where did your cousin end up going to B School? i have received tons of support from every veterans club so far, and hope to pay it forward in the future.

He did a pretty non-typical move that would not work for most folks but he ended up going to LBS. he was planning to recruit in Asia but Covid has changed plans quite a bit…. No career plan survives contact with the business school 😇 (he did get lots of help from veterans even all the way out there, was on the rugby team with a bunch of others)

Funny thing. He also applied to INSEAD but he could never get past the video essay system while deployed. Not enough bandwidth. Could not pass the connectivity test to submit the app.
