Kellogg Video Essay Questions 2023-2024
To stay updated with the latest news on Kellogg and connect with other applicants, please join the
Kellogg chatroom.
Following the submission of your application and payment, you will have the chance to create video essays. This serves as an excellent opportunity to delve deeper into who you are and articulate why Kellogg aligns with your aspirations.
The video segment of the application will feature
three specific questions tailored to allow you to highlight your individuality and recount the pivotal experiences that have shaped your journey thus far.
It's important to keep in mind that the
deadline for the video essays is set at
96 hours following the application deadline.
Upon submitting your application,
Kira Talent will email you a link to access the video essay platform. Once you log in and start the session, you'll receive three sequential Kellogg video essay questions. Each question allows
20 seconds for contemplation and
1 minute to respond. There are
no opportunities for revisions; you have one chance to deliver your answer. When the session begins, a video featuring a Kellogg community member will introduce the question verbally, and the written version will appear below the video. Upon the end of the response time, your video will replace the prompt, and your thinking time (20 seconds) will start automatically. Following this, the answering period (60 seconds) begins. No question can be revisited once answered. Upon completing each response, the system will upload it to the server. It's crucial to remain present at your computer during this process, avoiding interruptions even if the upload takes time. Given prior issues with iPad and mobile applications, it's advisable to use a computer for recording. For technical problems, visit the provided support page.
This year, Kellogg has disclosed the specific questions applicants will face, departing from previous years' randomized queries.
The Kellogg video essay divides its questions into three distinct categories, each emphasizing different aspects.
Question 1: IntroductionKellogg's initial query provides a platform to reveal facets beyond what's listed in your CV or admissions essays.
“Please introduce yourself and tell us something that is not on your CV that you want us to know about you.”
This serves as your chance to communicate aspects you'd like your prospective Kellogg peers and the admissions committee to grasp about your identity. What defines your uniqueness?"
