Application Tips Shared by Kelley 1st Year


mihir0710

Few things which I did during my application process (and I feel can be helpful to others) are
1. Pair up with someone who is also applying this year - You can talk to him about various things in the application, you can push each other to meet the deadlines, you can talk each other out of frustration, and can often share ideas. I paired with abhimahna and we became buddies by the end of the application process.
2. Be authentic!!! I know it's cliche. But I can definitely say that a couple of my stories worked because they were mine and it had elements in it that represented my personality (and not someone else's).
3. Talk to people at Kelley (or any other schools you are applying) and you would know a great deal which you can't find online. Again cliche but I must have spoken to at least 3-5 people from each school that I applied. That's what helps you differentiate your "Why Kelley" answer from the rest of the herd.

Essay Questions



Required:


  • Discuss your immediate post-MBA professional goals. How will your professional experience, when combined with a Kelley MBA degree, allow you to achieve these goals? Should the short-term goals you have identified not materialize, what alternate career paths might you consider? (500 words)
  • Respond to one of the following short essay prompts. (300 words)
    • My greatest memory is...
    • 'm most afraid of...
    • My greatest challenge has been...
    • I'm most proud of...
  • Share a brief fact about yourself that your classmates would find interesting, surprising, or noteworthy. (25 words)

Optional:


  • Is there anything else that you think we should know as we evaluate your application? If you believe your credentials and essays represent you fairly, you shouldn't feel obligated to answer this question. (300 words)

Hey All,

I probably know the answer to this but when I submitted my application on Oct 14th, I failed to remember to submit my official GMAT score. I just submitted it today from my account on MBA.com...does this push me over to Round 2 as if I missed the deadline for applying R1?

the reason it slipped my mind is that I submitted my GMAT earlier in the summer when I applied for their online MBA. I just remembered now I need to submit it to Kelley's FT program as well...

I got this email around 1030pm MST today and not sure what to make of it. Anyone know? It’s from the office of international services so I don’t think it can be related to the MBA application right?

Got something similar man. They are asking to upload some other documents as an international applicant (like passport and stuff) No idea what’s up. I do know that this was optional at the moment (as per the adcom email which preceded this one).

I went to their preview weekend last week and interviewed F2F. I submitted my app on Sep30 and got an email on Oct1 with the UID and login details to Atlas. That is it!
