I feel bad because i didnt write the optional essay that I should have. Does everbody write those optional essays?

BTW, did you copy-paste into the editor or upload pdf/word documents. BTW, the standard html editor was coming out weird replacing simple commas into special characters. I did upload the word documents but they were not as fancy, ofcourse, as any professionally designed PDFs.

All, etc, please share your experience. Thanks

I didn't write the Booth optional essay. They were pretty clear about it not being used to write yet another "creative essay". It was for explaining any extenuating circumstances that warrant an explanation.

I wrote my essays in google docs and uploaded the PDF generated from it.

I uploaded word documents.

I saw that I made a big grammar blunder, 2 sentences are just flawed and read poorly in the last paragraph of the first essay. It was a last minute change. The rest of them are ok.

Do you guys think my chances are over now?

What pc80 said :)

Keep in perspective that the essay is only a *part* of your app.

Hi,Guys

Just came across this thread. Congrats for getting into Kellogg's. I couldn't make through. Do you know if Kellogg provides feedback. I got a very generic letter, which is not useful at all. Any ideas-

hi pc80,

- Work Experience - around 6 years in IT - one of the top fortune companies
- GMAT- lower six hundred's
- Extra Curricualr- a lot in undergrad/ grad and good volunteer experience
- GPA - above average required at Kellogg.

Not sure what part of my app was the deal breaker...
