Kellogg EMBA: Impact of Shorter Admissions Essays
If you have had your eyes on the Kellogg EMBA application over the past few years, you surely noticed a major change in the past year. Kellogg’s EMBA application used to ask two standard essay questions – one about your career goals, and one about a topic such as how you will contribute to the school. Significantly, the essays had no word limits. Similarly, the recommendation questions that were asked of your recommendation writers also had no limits. In our experience, successful candidates would typically submit essays of about 800 words each (1600 total). The recommendations would also be healthy in size, between 1500-1800 words each.
Recently, the Kellogg EMBA program has suggested word limits, recommending a limit of 450 words each for the two core essays (900 total). That is substantially less content than in the past. The recommendations should be no longer than 850 words in the core responses, but can also include a response under additional information.
What does this mean for the applicant? First, the shorter essays do not mean less work for you as you prepare the application. Because you have so little space in the core essays to “make your case”, it is exceedingly important that you use the space you have excellently. You must think through which credentials you are trying to keep front-and-center and ensure there are some references to those credentials through your choice of content as you respond to the essay prompts. (While you should pack the two core essays full of outstanding content, when it serves your purposes, you can also use the optional essay for more information.)
The shorter core essays also mean that your recommendations take on more importance. They must, in a limited amount of space, sell your candidacy effectively. The recommendations usually impact outcomes as heavily as the essays, so you need to ensure that your writers have maximized their use of the recommendations by focusing on high-impact content that conveys the great strengths of your leadership, and elaborates on your valuable experiences, skills and future potential.
Your resume is also all the more important as a tool for selling your candidacy. You should use the resume as an effective snapshot of your great achievements in the professional, academic and extracurricular arenas. You should also make sure to include important information you were not able to get into the essays.
