Missed a call from Evanston the other day and while I knew there was zero reason for the school to be calling me I immediately dropped what I was doing to call them back. Turns out it was someone who dialed the wrong number and an absolute coincidence that they were from Evanston. Suffice it to say this waiting game plays havoc on one's capacity for patience...

I love how almost every review posted by current students and alumni is overwhelmingly positive and drives home very similar points (outstanding career support barring PE/VC, extremely strong and vibrant culture, student-run campus life, and outdated facilities-which are likely to get a huge upgrade very soon).

If anything, I'm very excited and encouraged by everything I've been hearing and reading lately about the direction in which the Program (which is already pretty neat) is headed.

Does anyone know what typically happens on decision day? I know some schools will give you a call (even heard that GSB calls you the day before decision releases). What does Kellogg typically do?

Yes I think it is. They will evaluate your profile with an unofficial score if that's what you reported. They only need the official report if you get admitted. If they need anything, they will ask you for it. That's what the admissions office told me at least.

No, I don't think this is normal. I had this problem at another school and it turned out that my name in my application form was not matching exactly with my name from my GMAT scores. Because of that, the school's system was not identifying my scores as mine. I had to contact the adcom and ask them to correct my name in my application form.

Plus, see what is written about GMAT scores in Kellogg's website. Kellogg asks us to send our official scores prior to the deadline:

"We require GMAT or GRE scores for the One-Year MBA, Two-Year MBA and MMM programs. You must report your scores by the application deadline. JD-MBA applicants can only submit a GMAT score.

Please request that official test scores are sent to Kellogg by using one of the following school codes:

Our GMAT code is 6WZ-3J-89
Our GRE code is 7921"

I had this problem because the email address for my gmat account was different than the email I used for my application account... I emailed admissions and they fixed it right away... I would suggest sending them a quick email.

I had the same issue with my application saying my GMAT score was not received. I asked about it, and here's the email I received from admissions on September 28:

Hello xxxxxxxxxx,

Thank you for contacting Kellogg.

GMAT scores can take a bit of time to be sent from GMAC and for our office to process them. Please be sure that you have uploaded your unofficial score to your application, as this is all we need to begin the review process. If we still have not received your GMAT score in a few months, our office will contact you.

Please note: If we have not received the official score report, the application will display your GMAT is missing, with a red x. However, please be assured that if you have uploaded your unofficial score, your application will be viewed as complete.

Best of luck,

***

14 more days to go!! This wait is so difficult!!
Please share your thoughts on how you are coping up with anxiety.

Btw, economist has ranked Kellogg at #2. This would surely be followed by a surge in the application volume. Do you think there will be higher competition (i.e, rejection rate) this year?

Good luck to all..

Oh man. Don't ask. It's getting a bit too real now. I find myself zoning out a lot at work and randomly at home as well.

I just want this wait to end already.

I don't think it's a problem actually, I see this message in my application status "Please note, unofficial test scores will be accepted during the review stage, however, all applicants should ensure that official test scores are sent to Kellogg for verification purposes." so as long as you have reported your GMAT score, you don't need to worry about having official scores sent to them.

FROM Kellogg MBA Blog: Kellogg on Growth: Student Leadership Q&A (Part I)

https://kelloggmbastudents.files.wordpress.com/2016/11/pockets-of-potential-tiffany-smith.jpg?w=627

Kellogg on Growth panel, “Pockets of Potential” held November 16, 2016. Photo Credit: Tiffany Smith ’17
As the most prestigious conference of the year, Kellogg on Growth provided the opportunity for students and faculty to connect with Fortune 500 executives, industry game-changers, bestselling authors and other thought leaders shaping the face of business today.

From working closely with faculty to develop specially tailored programming to identifying influential growth leaders to share their stories, the student leadership team was instrumental in helping shape and develop this year’s forum.

As part of the content team, both Tiffany Smith ’17 and Max Meyers ’17 worked with Kellogg faculty to bring influential business leaders and professionals to the forefront of their panel’s discussions.

In Part I of our Kellogg on Growth Student Leadership Q&A, Tiffany shares her experience as the student lead for “Pockets of Potential: Investing for Change”, where she worked with Professor Megan Kashner to bring a collection of senior leaders to the Kellogg stage to discuss investing in women and minority leaders and their ventures.

Why did you decide to join the Kellogg on Growth student leadership team?

Tiffany: I saw a need to bring topics to the forefront that highlight issues that are often hidden in the shadows of our economy. Within the financial inclusion and VC/entrepreneurship space, I saw an opportunity to bring premier thought leaders to campus to have a candid discussion around the current state of investment in underrepresented populations in this country. By 2040, it is projected that the U.S. will be majority populated with what is now deemed the “minority” population. When we talk about growth and what it means to be a business leader in this country, I felt I would be remiss to not focus on the implications of not investing in those populations now with the resources we have available. Less than 1% of minority entrepreneurs receive venture capital, yet 40% of pitches to VCs are done by minority entrepreneurs. Where is the disconnect? It was also particularly important to me to lend a voice to historically disenfranchised populations to ensure there is a voice in the room to vocalize some of the challenges minority and women entrepreneurs face in the current landscape. On top of this, I saw an opportunity to network with some amazing classmates and administrators who put on the conference. I enjoy working with teams to bring a bigger vision to life.

As a student leader, what speakers and/or aspects were important for you to incorporate into this year’s forum?

Tiffany: Creativity was especially important especially around the panel titles. Megan Kashner is an amazingly creative person, and we worked together to come up with the title “Pockets of Potential: Investing for Change”. It was also important for us to bring in both the investor and entrepreneurial/operator lens into the conversation to ensure it wasn’t an echo chamber discussion. People often shy away from listening to topics like this because they feel like it “doesn’t apply to them.” We were faced with the challenge of not only providing thought provoking content that would engage students and alums, but we also needed tangible and thoughtful suggestions on how best to affect change in venture capital and enlist the support of those in the room who wanted to shift the narrative.

Which panel resonated most with you and why?

Tiffany: I only ended up attending my assigned panel due to schedule conflicts, but I did get a chance to speak with Jean Case before her keynote and our conversation was very insightful as she is intimately aware of the staggering statistics around investment in underrepresented minorities and women.

What was the most challenging part of helping plan for Kellogg on Growth? How did you learn from this experience?

Tiffany: Balancing my obligations, including a summer internship, to ensure the panel was of the right caliber to meet the expectations of attendees was particularly challenging. I learned the necessity of transparency when dealing with team members and administration, especially around deadlines and goal targets. I learned that it’s sometimes better to be realistic than idealistic when coming up with content as there is always a fine line between what may be considered interesting versus out of touch. I also learned the importance of messaging clarity and perception. It is so important to understand your target audience and be thoughtful around how best to place your message in the broader atmosphere.

What’s been the most rewarding part of being on the Kellogg on Growth student leadership team? What opportunities have been the most impactful?

Tiffany: What inspired me most was working with my classmates, who inspire and motivate me to do better and be better in every aspect of my experience. I witnessed several of my peers lead conversations that would happen in front of hundreds of audience members, including a mix of working Kellogg alums and students. Having the ability to facilitate these conversations was highly impactful for me.

What advice would you offer to 1Y students interested in joining the student leadership team for KOG next year?

Tiffany: Make sure to get involved early and reach out to the team to get engaged as soon as you get on campus.

How will you apply the information gained from KOG to your current studies and/or future career plans?

Tiffany: As a leader, it’s crucial to be aware of the most pressing issues going on in society. It’s particularly important to understand how those issues can affect your team, staff and colleagues during trying times. Some of the topics discussed during Kellogg on Growth were extremely relevant and important for all Kellogg students to digest, but I think what is most important is that we recognize the need to be stewards of information and constantly sharing our thoughts on what is relevant.

What industry are you thinking of working in after graduation? If you already have been hired, where are you working?

Tiffany: I’m focused on the technology/social impact industry, particularly around workforce development, education and empowerment. I believe an MBA is a key tool to affecting real change in communities that need help the most. We are provided with such a toolkit that can be leveraged in environments that need our expertise. I believe those environments are where I am best suited to have the most impact and look forward to being an innovator and change maker post-MBA.

FROM Kellogg MBA Blog: Kellogg on Growth: Student Leadership Q&A (Part II)

https://kelloggmbastudents.files.wordpress.com/2016/11/20161116-jr-kog-panelists-0737_312851.jpg?w=627

Kellogg on Growth panel, “Scaling Operations”, held November 16, 2016. Photo Credit: Jonathan Gibby
In Part II of our Kellogg on Growth Student Leadership Q&A, Max Meyers ’17 shares his experience as the student lead for “Scaling Operations: Tools and Tactics”, working with Professor Michael Mazzeo to provide attendees with a tactical view of how leading companies are executing against growth targets in their markets.

Why did you decide to join the Kellogg on Growth student leadership team?

Max: To echo Dean Blount, I think there’s a lot that’s changing, and that we need leaders – “thought leaders” specifically – to help thoughtfully navigate this new reality. I’ve been a part of several conferences (from SxSW to summits for government execs) and feel like Kellogg has the potential to really offer a strong platform that brings together multiple perspective in this conversation – and wanted to be a part of that.

As a student leader, what speakers and/or aspects were important for you to incorporate into this year’s forum?

Max: I really wanted to bring the kind of speakers to campus that students wanted to connect with – who brought credibility and whose experience resonated with our future interests. That meant looking for recognized companies and leaders with different industry perspectives – we had a healthcare company named to INC 500’s fastest-growing, financial services, and CPG. And then trying to find a format brings the stories to life – we experimented with several in the session.

Which panel resonated most with you and why?

Max: Well, I got to hand-pick the speakers for the Scaling Operations session – so of course I love their stories and Professor Mazzeo’s insights! But more broadly, I really enjoyed the Wednesday morning (Day 2) plenary. What Leigh Morgan said really resonated – to solve tough societal problems, we need cognitive diversity (diverse perspectives and experiences) and to work across traditional sector or organizational boundaries. Coupling her impact focus with Brian Lee’s challenge was especially powerful: “If you believe in something, go do it. Don’t wait for funding, get as much data as you can, but do it.”

What was the most challenging part of helping plan for Kellogg on Growth? How did you learn from this experience?

Max: Students are a pretty unique audience – and a really important one – which has made this a really different experience than other conferences I’ve been a part of. It’s hard to make an interactive format when you can’t anticipate the perspectives that audience members bring (especially for session with 200+ attendees). Navigating this challenge helped me continue to learn both the importance of pushing for what you think is critical (format), while reminding me how helpful institutional perspectives are – faculty and staff leads had some great intuitions about what worked based on last year’s experience!

What’s been the most rewarding part of being on the Kellogg on Growth student leadership team? What opportunities have been the most impactful?

Max: Getting to help shape the evolution of Kellogg on Growth has been pretty rewarding. It’s only the second year for the forum, and it’s fun to both be asked for inputs and ideas – and for them to be used and come to life!

What advice would you offer to 1Y students interested in joining the student leadership team for KOG next year?

Max: I think it’s important to think about what impact you can make in one year – and in that sense, Kellogg on Growth is a great leadership opportunity since it’s something you can absolutely shape in the course of your year. In fact, 1Y’s have a particular advantage and opportunity for leadership and influence over the summer as everyone else focuses on internships.

What industry are you thinking of working in after graduation? If you already have been hired, where are you working?

Max: I’ll be heading back to Deloitte Consulting in Washington, D.C., where I work in our public sector practice.
