Calling all Kellogg Applicants (2016 Intake) Class of 2018!!

As the application season for the class of 2017 is finishing up, I'd like to say congrats to all the folks that were admitted. If you are willing to be someone who I can reference as someone who can help applicants and answer questions, please PM me and I'll list your name.

With that, I'm excited to start up this new thread for the folks applying for the class of 2018. As details and information come in, I will continue to update it accordingly.

So, who's applying and which round? I'm in for R1!

In for Round 2!

Hey, guys,

Recent Yale SOM admit here. I know Kellogg has a similar video interview section to Yale SOM and I just published a post on how to approach the video interview questions. I know this is a scary new format, so I hope the post can help to allay some fears.

When are the essay questions for this year likely to be out?

Not sure - likely in the next few weeks. I'll make sure to make a post once that happens.

I also spoke to someone in admissions, seems like they may not change much to the applications besides the essays/recommendation questions; however, that could always change..

I am an R1 admit starting this fall. Would be Happy to help.
And good luck to all those trying to get in!

The full time application became available today. Still waiting on word for submission deadlines for each round.

Deadlines are now up!

Thanks - deadlines, which are earlier than last year, are now updated.

Few changes from last year:
Essay questions are different as well as the video essay process changing slightly.

Essays: (450 words each)
1)Leadership and teamwork are integral parts of the Kellogg experience. Describe a recent and meaningful time you were a leader. What challenges did you face, and what did you learn?

2) Pursuing an MBA is a catalyst for personal and professional growth. How have you grown in the past? How do you intend to grow at Kellogg?

Video essays:
Ice breaker/get to know you question- specific question not released in advance.

What path are you interested in pursuing, how will you get there, and why is this program right for you?

Thoughts?

Seeing some chatter online about Kellogg changing their recommender questions for this year. (https://essaysnark.com/salespage/mba-rec ... tion-sets/) Does anyone know how they have changed them vs. the standardized questions that HBS/Wharton etc. use?

I am creating "prep" packs for my recommenders and would like to give them a heads up.

I'm interested to know that as well..

Ah, just found it: https://blog.clearadmit.com/2015/07/nort ... 2015-2016/

These don't seem different at all though, not sure what EssaySnark was on about (prob trying to scare people in to coughing up for their recommender prep services)

Does anyone think we should have the school picture updated to be a rendering of the new Kellogg building? After all, this 2018 class will be the first to experience the new building both years...

Although I don't disagree, the new Kellogg building would be great, but the Jake is legendary!
