Kicking off our essay writing series with Northwestern Kellogg. Kellogg has been ranked #4 by US News Rankings and boasts of receiving around 6000 applications every year.
Should you be interested in having your essays reviewed , please fill up this form , the most appropriate essays shall be chosen and will be given a personalized review : https://forms.gle/jtPNmZX7Xet9zCCg8
Let us look at the essay questions released by Kellogg in its last cycle, our analysis, and how to tackle them ahead of this application deadline.
The following two essays are required of all applicants:
1.Kellogg’s purpose is to educate, equip and inspire brave leaders who create lasting value. Provide a recent example where you have demonstrated leadership and created value. What challenges did you face and what did you learn? (450 words)
2.Values are what guide you in your life and work. What values are important to you and how have they influenced you? (450 words)
There is an additional essay for reapplicants which focusses on the steps taken by the applicant on strengthening their application with regards to their last submission :
3.Since your previous application, what steps have you taken to strengthen your candidacy? (250 words)
Before we begin with that analysis, let us begin with the ground rules and the guidelines with which the essay is to be written :
1.School requires that you add the essay prompt at the top of the page.
2.A specific font size is required and it is often recommended you use a font size of 12 with Times New Roman as style
3.A line spacing of 1.5 lines with 1-inch margins is also preferred.
4. Both the essays together correspond to 900 words and the use of words just be judicious. The school recommends focusing on the essence of the question and if there are additional details that don't relate to leadership or values, a section for additional information should be used to complement the same.
Essay Analysis-1
Kellogg’s purpose is to educate, equip and inspire brave leaders who create lasting value. Provide a recent example where you have demonstrated leadership and created value. What challenges did you face and what did you learn? (450 words)
First thing first, the prompts ask you to provide only one, and that too a recent example of a leadership experience that created value. The example is to be such that it delineates the challenges faced and the corresponding learning experience. The school particularly states that there is no right or wrong ways to answer this question and this is what gives you the flexibility to initiate the responses in whatever field you would like to choose to present a leadership scenario. It could be professional (the most used), something with extra-curricular or could be just any personal initiative too just as rising up to a difficult situation arising in the family for instance.
Following are perhaps the keywords to focus from the prompt :
Educate Your classmates are already leaders in their respective fields and are the chosen ones which are educated further emphasizing the leadership ability of your classmates.
Inspire Kellogg inspires Leaders.And inspiration is contagious, it would be good to mention your inspiration for leadership or your instance of how your leadership inspires others. A real example here would also add in meat for what adcom is looking for.
Brave The bravery aspect of the essay refers to your risk appetite and audacity of the decisions. It is crucial to highlight in your story what were the risks involved and your associated bravery.
Essay Analysis-2
Values are what guide you in your life and work. What values are important to you and how have they influenced you? (450 words)
This prompt is pretty straightforward and wants you to reflect on your values and the core beleis you have. The values are to be stated via a story or bunch of anecdots which reflects on your journey and how they have been able to morph you. Again , the important thing here is to understand that it is to the case that some values are important than others. Adcom wants to know you and your values. How your value system has been able to help you in life and how crucial these are too.
