I'm a huge fan of the 25 word "essay"

I'm possibly in for R2 depending on how R1 goes. Slight chance I'll be in for round 1, but a trip to chicago intime for the interviews would be tough.

In for R1!

Saw a tweet from Kellogg about the off-campus admission events this year - registration is not open for most cities yet though... https://kellogg.northwestern.edu/Program ... vents.aspx

Cheers,

Just got an email from Kellogg about an info session in my city and registered for it. Most likely leaning towards applying next year, though this year is still a maybe.

I can't speak to your specific situation, but from all the research I've done, career switchers seem to benefit the most from a two-year program, which provides the opportunity to develop some hands-on experience during the summer internship.

Looking at applying either in R1 or R2. I'm going to be in the city in late September and was looking to connect with a student to chat over some coffee and maybe take a look around campus.

Any GMAT Club'er available around campus at that time?

I've loved meeting people from Kellogg and am applying R1!

I have started working on the essays, and I'm wondering what people's thoughts are to the 2nd essay--how many experiences are you going to draw from?

I echo your sentiment - Kellogg was the best school in terms of people I met! Hence, am reapplying.

Essay 2 is tricky. I think atleast 2 experiences required - they have put it in plural in the question itself. The answer will be testing, as it needs to be terse but impactful. Do you have any thoughts on how you are answering this - what type of events/people?
