Forgot to mention, it's in the downloadable forms section of the apply yourself portal

Thank you hookemhorns612. This certainly clears things up a little bit. I believe the forms are not available yet. So we should just have to wait till the online application goes up in mid august. Seems like you have already been admitted to Darden. Congrats on the completion of your app journey.

guess we ll have to wait and see what more Kellogg has in store for us! all the best guys

Anyone else facing trouble in fitting 2 stories in the leadership experiences question? I'm debating whether I should go back to 1 much more detailed story. But, then the question says 'experiences'. sigh!

Hi Jumsumtak, I think you don't need to incorporate two totally different experiences into the essay. If you have taken two or more leadership actions in one story, you can write deeply about the story and make it "experiences". Last year I did so, and got in.

Hi, anyone have a hint when Kellogg will open its application? The school website says mid-Aug ...

yeah, that's what the website says. I'm presuming there would be quite a bit to change in the application portal due to the change in deadline structure. It should be out this week (hunch, obviously).
