Kellogg: Calling all applicants - Class of 2016

Hi everyone,

I am looking to visit Kellogg in the next couple weeks. Is it possible to do a class visit on a Friday? I'm having trouble finding the class schedule. SInce we can't pre register, is it possible I might have trouble getting a spot?

Thanks.

Some schools don't have classes on Fridays. i would call the Admissions Office and ask them about class visits on Fridays.

Anyone submitting their application by Sep-18? (The date by which its recommended to submit the app for off-campus interview)

Working on submitting in time for the recommended off-campus deadline.

Does anyone know whether there are adverse effects if interviews are waived?

Nope, none preferred, they're treated equally and the actual experience itself should be fairly similar regardless of who conducts it - though we have to say, if you can get to campus, that's an advantage for you in terms of learning more about the school, the culture, and what they offer. It also shows your motivation (the schools don't technically use it in evaluating apps but it does make a difference when the adcom reviewer sees you went to the effort).

The big downside of requesting an off-campus interview is the risk that it might get waived. Be sure to read about the policy on this; if you're in an area of high demand - or if you submit later in the cycle - then they might not be able to match you up with someone. We've seen all sorts of stress around this in past years; it may be smoother this year with a single-submit app, we'll need to see. Sometimes the interview could initially get waived and then they would invite the person to interview anyway. They claim that people are accepted even when the interview is waived and we're sure it's possible, but we have never seen it happen. Not that we know all the Kellogg applicants! There's surely been some where it played out that way. It's just not the norm.

Hi all. Am unable to preview my whole application before submitting it. Anyone facing the same problem? In the Review, there is a submit button. However, it is warning you can make no changes if you submit it.

Also, can someone guide me how one has gone about filling the International experience details - Should it be purely professional or can it be a personal experience as well?

Will you receive any tuition reimbursement from your employer? Will you be financially sponsored for your MBA studies by your current employer?

How should I answer the following questions on the application:


I will be applying for a scholarship from my employer, which would completely cover tuition. However, I won't know if I'll get the scholarship until after I submit my application. My thought was therefore to play it safe and answer no, but I want to see if others agree.

I am in the same boat and was also planning to answer no.

I have a question about how admissions work at Kellogg.
Obviously, fit is a big factor for the school, which is why the admissions committee seeks to interview nearly all candidates. If the interview comes WEEKS after submission, how do they actually view our application without the interview component? Of is interview the last security check against toxic character flaws?
Just curious,
Celer

The interview comes weeks after submission at most schools; it's the unusual case where the interview comes early in the evaluation cycle. In all cases, the interview is one more datapoint that admissions uses; they combine it with everything else you present to make their decision. The interview at a school like HBS tends to hold more weight than at Kellogg, but it's an important input for all of them.

Hope that helps!
