Kellogg Part Time

Yep born and raised in the Windy city. I am hoping to apply in Jan/Feb to start during the summer session which I beleive begins in June or July (can remember off the top of my head). I am taking the GMAT in a week or so and it is getting down to crunch time. I am getting late game jitters and hoping to hit my target score around 680.

I will also be applying to University of Chicago as well. I know that Depaul is supposed to have an excellent part time MBA, along with Loyola but I do not think they offer much in the long run return on investment. I am not knocking those schools but I have bigger aspirations.

So if there is anything you want to know about the city or if anyone else has any questions please feel free to let me know. I would be more than willing to answer them.

Am planning to apply for the Saturday MBA at Kelloggs. Have only a 680 GMAT (single attempt). Undergrad very poor GPA (2.5), years later did a MS at a small (but accredited) midwest University - GPA 3.8.

Whats your GMAT and/or profile? Will help me understand the profile of students accepted for part time courses.

Any updates junker?

Anybody here have any updates?

Anybody have any recent updates (admits, dings, etc) for Kellogg Part-time (Saturday) program? Submitted my application last week and just waiting to hear back.

bobby did you hear anything?

whats your profile like?

Applied to Kellogg PT Saturday MBA program for Summer 2010

Profile:
GMAT: 700
UnderGrad GPA: 3.3 (BBA - MIS from a decent private college in TX)
Experience: 6 years in General Mgmt, Software Product Strategy. 2 successful startup experience as well.
Extra curricular: Not so good

Keeping fingers crossed.

When should I expect an answer from Kellogg.

For all those applying to Kellogg part time, do confirm if the faculty in part time is the same as full time? From a friend who went to Kellogg evening program (TMP) and then transferred to full time - the Profs were not the same.

This is one reason why I choose Booth over Kellogg even though I got accepted at both.

Awaiting a response from Kellogg as well. Haven't seen a response from anyone on the forum so far on admits/dings for Kellogg weekend MBA - Summer 2010. Hoping they get around to it soon.

GMAT: 730
Extra-curricular: Photography and bird-watching activities - nothing earth shattering
Senior software engineer at a well known medium sized company
Undergrad: decent scores from Bombay University (Mech engr)
Grad school: 3.67 (Mech engr)
Work exp: 15 years

Since I fit the standard Indian software engineer profile, I'm guessing that I'll have a slimmer-than-average chance of getting in. Especially, since I haven't applied anywhere else at all... so far, anyways.

so Heizen~/Shuj~

When did you guys apply to Kellogg? I applied on the last day and had an interview on the last day as well...so I dont think I can count on it...I will be doing the same for Chicago as well...grrrrr...

I was relatively late to the game as well. Applied 3 days before the second deadline and interviewed 2 wks prior to that.

I've read in at least one place that around 85% of the applications roll in during the last 3 days, and a vast majority of that come in just hours before the deadline. So I doubt that applying on the last day, is a significant disadvantage.

Good luck!

I submitted my Saturday Program application early last week. Lets keep each other posted about outcomes.

AFAIK, they call people who are admitted and send only a postal letter to those who are not. People have received letters in about 2 to 3 weeks in the past and admit phone calls as early as 2 days after submission.

Any news of how it's playing out this year for R2 applicants?

I applied on the last day of the R2 deadline. My interview was 2 days before the deadline. Talking to my friends applying the very last day is a slight disadvantage.

I received a card from the interviewer too in mail. Just general thank you for interviewing and all. I believe thats standard practice. Did you guys receive one too?

I think the professors are the same for the PT/FT program. Thats what they say on their website. Right?

I will be applying to Booth on the last day too. Interview scheduled for May 22. Essays still not ready!

I did not receive any postcard.

Has anybody else received it? Also is it a good idea to email admissions to inquire about the decision or will it look corny?

just got the post card...so must be a ding?

I got a postcard marked the first business day after my interview, before I had submitted my application.

So I'm pretty that the first post-card is not indicative of a ding.
