Request experts to evaluate my profile. hi @xitizsharma, with the Kellogg news coming out today on R2 I was on the Kellogg page and saw your request. Given that this is a crazy year-- I would say there are options for r3 that would not have previously existed-- and with Kellogg starting in late September it might give people more time for Visa issues if needed. Let me comment on our profile below. Nationality - Indian Gender - Male
Education - 1. Bachelors in Technology (Production & Industrial Engineering) from Non-IIT/NIT college. CGPA: 8.6/10 2. MBA from one of the top 3 IIMs (Indian Institute of Management) Having that second MBA already makes things a bit trickier-- but you could potentially be a good candidate for 1 yr program at Kellogg. I have worked successfully with many people to help them get in and your profile could be a good fit here. It is ideal for people who don't need more work experience-- however, that program starts in June so you may not have time for this year. You might want to look at next year just hoping also that the social distancing part is not a big deal the whole of next year. Can you get sponsored by your company and have polans to move locations post MBA? I have had clients with GMATs less than yours get in. I"d be glad to do a free consult with you and share more about what you can do now to be ready for R1 2020. Use this link to set up and look for Donna when scheduling counselor.https://stratusadmissionscounseling.com/consult/
Looking to do second MBA to switch geography within same function (IB/ PE)
Work Experience - 2.5 yrs automotive company; 30 months IB; 12 months mid-market Private Equity fund (currently with the same firm)
Other info: Cleared CFA Level I and II; Secured CFA Access Scholarship; Represented college in national level automotive events; Decent level of extra curriculars and volunteering experience

Hello everyone,
I hope you all are doing well. I a college senior who will be starting his professional career in investment banking, and I recently came across the Kellogg Future Leaders Deferred MBA program. Growing up in Chicago suburbs, I used to visit Evanston quite often, and I developed a strong desire to go to Northwestern, but alas, I struck out on undergraduate recruiting. It seems like a second chance has arrived, as I just heard of the Kellogg Future Leaders Deferred MBA Program, and I have been powering through GMAT prep books in hopes of receiving a respectable score by late-May. If any of you guys could assess my profile, I'd sincerely appreciate it.
Listed below are my stats and experiences: Age and Background: 22 year old American male of Indian descent University: UIUC Major: Finance Minor: Technology & Management Honors: >Chancellor's Scholar--One of 120 students selected from every freshman class to enroll in this specialized program that allows students to enroll in special courses that give a more liberal arts angle to students enrolled in a research university, first dibs on all classes, $500 scholarship/semester >Finance Honors--Enrolled in an Investment Banking Honors Program which trains students for IB interviews, and connects them to employers via guest lectures and corporate visits >Dean's List 1 semester
GPA: 3.75 GMAT: Haven't taken it yet--I got my work cut out for me
Work experiences (summer internships): >Underwriting at a professional liability firm, where I was able to generate $5,000 of premium >Robotic Process Automation at a F500 Financial Services firm, where I helped reduce process cycle time for a treasury process >Investment Banking at a top Boutique IB: >Created valuation models for a $1.0B deal which closed recently--this was used to verify information that another international team had done >Created an accretion-dilution model, bridge analysis to showcase continued progress of the target towards its revenue goals, and presentation materials for a $4.0B pitch >Created management presentation materials and a customer analysis model for a $200M ongoing deal
On-campus activities: >Concertmaster of our Philharmonia orchestra--conducted the orchestra during the absence of the conductor, created musical fingerings and bowing patterns customized to each violin and viola player, and gave one on one prep sessions to students who needed help with mastering the music >Student Consultant--Did 2 years of consulting work for Illinois small businesses and nonprofits >Volunteer at a 3D printing lab--3D printed stuff for people--fidget spinners for kids, and optimized engineering projects which needed to fit certain criteria
A high school activity which I am really fond of: Started a music therapy program at a hospital in senior year of HS, and recruited students well into freshman year
Goal: 2years IB>2 years PE (hopefully $1B+ in deployed capital)>MBA>UMM/MF PE
I know that Harvard 2+2 really doesn't want business students, but do you think that's going to be the case for Kellogg Future Leaders too? Please chance me

I think you could have a great shot-- especially if you can perform well on the GMAT-- which you can take at home during covid. I also want to point you to a few resources to help you think about the essays. I've helped many people successfully apply to Kellogg and I think you have a shot if you can clear the GMAT (or GRE) and do a solid job on the application and essays. Ignore the R3 deadline as there is new Covid info-- but for the purposes of thinking through the essays--this article can help you! As I noted, please reach out for a free consult with Donna Bauman if you want to talk further! Good luck from one Kellogg alum to another (hopefully!) _________________

Hi pnandi3, to answer your question about whether there is a bias against business students, Kellogg has not indicated as such (as opposed to HBS). I think you have a solid shot, if you can get a good GMAT score (720+). Be sure to focus on the leadership elements of your extracurriculars / internships as well as teamwork experience, which is especially important for Kellogg. Also be sure to share your personality and the 'why' behind the decisions you've made (why UIUC, why banking, etc). I also went to UIUC for undergrad and then Kellogg for my MBA after doing banking pre-MBA. Good luck and let me know if you'd like to chat more about your proflie!

Have you made any quantifiable impact upon the organization or the specific account?
How would you demonstrate leadership/teamwork/problem solving in the application?
And lastly what type of unique contribution do you feel you could make to the class?
For example, do you think your international experience would be valuable in terms of adding to the prospective of others?
Your Why Kellogg is not great but with more research, could improve.

sahilaro23 hi, My name is Shimri Winters and I head the strategy team here at ARINGO Sounds like you have an interesting profile.
I am not sure if you have had any promotions, international experience, managerial experience and other factors the schools will be looking for.
In terms of schools, I would probably suggest applying to schools that have various courses in marketing and operations. luckily, all schools do... Just as a general guide, I would suggest starting to think about applying to schools such as Kellogg, Haas, UCLA, Duke, Ross, Darden, Tuck, Mccombs, Cornell... but the list goes on
Please send me your CV for a deeper analysis. I am always on shimriw@ARINGO.com Good luck

Hi mellamoabhi My name is Shimri Winters and I head the strategy at ARINGO. it sounds like you have a great profile and a fantastic GMAT score. The key issues I see in your profile are a previous MBA (not always a good thing) your age and 10+ years of experience (a bit on the high end)
I am also worried about the career goals you mentioned (or to put it bluntly, you are not what Mckinsey are looking for!) I would suggest remaining in FMCG/retail . Sounds like you might need some consultation . Feel free to send me your CV to Shimriw@ARINGO.com and we can take it from there
Good luck!

Hi there, you have some solid work and leadership experience that will appeal to the adcom so I would say you should throw in a R3 application! I would not include your GRE score given the waiver, as it will not be a positive to your profile. Good luck!

Hi there,
You have some interesting experience that will appeal to Kellogg. The one question I would make sure to cover is why the 1Y program makes sense, as opposed to the traditional 2Y option. Typically, the internship between first and second year is critical for those making a career switch, so you'll need to demonstrate you can accomplish your goals without it. Good luck!

Hi All, Hi @Enesa, as a graduate of the 1YR Kellogg MBA myself, I can tell you that it will be important that you are able to make a seamless career transition. The program goes so fast-- and it may be even faster if there is a virtual start-- so it makes it difficult to make a career change. I suggest you look for ways to enhance your current career with the Kellogg 1YR MBA. See my comments below. Please evaluate my profile as an international applicant for the 1-year MBA program at Kellogg

Work experience: 8 years, Digital marketing in fashion ecommerce and travel tech. Now managing a digital marketing team with multi million budget with 200% YoY rev growth. impressive!
Goal: - Career shift to consulting or corporate strategy (consulting firms, Google, LVMH) Can you leverage your digital marketing background and fashion or travel tech to look for corp strategy roles in those industries?
International experience: - 6 years of working experience in Europe (Germany and NL) - University semester exchange in Finland - 1 year in high school in US
Extracurriculars: - Founding member of a student club, promoting international student exchange and arranging student internships to the Philippines and Ukraine - Member of Hiking clubs - Volunteer translator of international women’s festival for LGBT and women right
Do you think I stand a realistic chance and it's worth applying?You won't know unless you try! The issue for starting this summer is will you be able to get here in time? Is there a career opportunity that you have identified that you could jump to post MBA-- something even back in Korea that is secure-- where you gain more skills from the MBA and then are able to jump into the new role? If you are not clear on the post MBA goal-- or Adcom thinks it is going to be too difficult to execute-- that could be a problem for the 1 YR MBA. If you really want to make a bigger switch and think a consulting internship is useful then I would consider the 2YR program. It may be easier to get here in time for that-- and you have a little more time to make the transition. Kellogg has been a real leader in this time of uncertainty with covid so I suggest you speak to a member of their admissions team to get more guidance on whether the 1YR or 2YR is best for you. If you do a great job showing Kellogg how you have been a bold leader who has created lasting value through influencing others at work then I think you have a shot. I know this is all easier said than done-- but you bring some great international experience and as Kellogg tries to finalize this upcoming class it is certainly worth a shot to put in an application!
