Consulting背景的人在Kellogg占的比例确实相对偏高。但总体而言，Kellogg是一个well-balanced的学校，focusing on general management。所以，学生的背景还是十分多样化的。当硬指标满足了一定条件后，就看你如何诠释why MBA and why Kellogg了。

您好！

可以讲讲今年录取的marketing和project management的几位的背景情况吗？

kellogg是否对申请者的年龄有一定偏好？比如年轻些或工作经验丰富岁数大些的.

谢谢kellogg2008!

Marketing: IBM. Project management: a startup IT company

I don't think Kellogg has a strong preference either way.

Hi,Kellogg 2008：

谢谢你在这里提供关于Kellogg申请的解答。我现在有几个问题，希望你能帮助解答一下，或者帮忙提供一些联系方式。

1）Kellogg有个The Social Enterprise，我想知道The Social Enterprise program毕业生是否一毕业就进了Non-profit field？ Kellogg Career office 是否可以提供最近2年的The Social Enterprise项目毕业生就业信息？在The Social Enterprise项目中有没有中国学生在读或者已经毕业？

2）在The Social Enterprise项目所有课程教学中，最受欢迎的几个教授是哪些？他们分别教什么课程呢？

Yes, the program is called SEEK (Social Enterprise at Kellogg). The programs at Kellogg are simply a way to provide curriculum, career help, and coordination among different departments and centers. You can take SEEK courses, but it doesn't mean you belong to that program. And where you go afterwards is really up to you.

As to the details about SEEK courses, I am not sure. If you are really interested, send a message, and I'll see if I can connect someone to you who knows more about SEEK.

你好，Kellogg 2008

刚才看学校的网站又有了一个小问题，在Academic&Faculty一栏里，academic departments，professional programs，majors（and requirements）这三者是什么关系，如果选方向的话，是从哪里面选呢，比如是从前两项里选，还是在任何一项里，不论是academic departments还是professional programs，只要有就行啊？

谢谢！

Are you asking about the choices in the application form? It should be majors, not departments or programs. But you should have a full list anyway.

请教kellogg2008，你们这一届的同学中工作年限最短是多少年？年龄平均多少呀？ 你觉得学校选择中国学生有什末倾向。 知道你上一届中国学生的就业趋向吗？能否介绍一下？

不好意思，问了不少问题。我也苦苦奋斗中， 渴望前辈的帮助！

 

There is no official data. My guess is that the average years of working experience and average age will be slightly higher than the school's average, but shouldn't be too far off.

As to the job replacement, consulting and banking should be the major two areas. The exact company/position will differ from year to year.

问一下kellogg2008, 是否在consulting公司里面也有做marketing职位呢? 我看了一下kellogg今年的毕业的情况.

好象大多数都是传统的行业(制造业,快消).高科技的公司(生物制药和IT)有,但不是很多.这是不是就说明kellogg毕业生还是重点在这些行业呢? 

我还想知道kellogg 在finance方面实力怎样?

i have three years' work experience in auto industry, mainly strategy and marketing after i got master degree in china.

now i want to take b-school to transfer experience from marketing to consulting after MBA graduation and then get back to industry. what do you think of this career path?

career acceptance at kellogg is very good at marketing and consulting. my dream school

One guy in my section was in military service, and in his application essay said that he wanted to do i-banking. What do you think of this career path? My point here is, whether a particular career path makes sense largely depends on how well you put up your story: your passion, your background, your skills, and your goals.

I have some questions on this year's essay questions.

1. two to three double- spaced paragraphs: 差不多写几行, 多少字 啊?
2. 4A. What have been your most significant leadership experiences to date: experiences 是复数, 难道写多个situations, 可2-3段好象又不允许写出多个 experiences?

别见笑我问的问题 . 谢谢先

Here is the link I looked at: http://www.kellogg.northwestern.edu/career_employer/employment/2005/industry_ft.htm

It seems that, in 2005, "pharmaceuticals / biotechnology / health products" is 7%, "food/beverage" is 7%, and "household/personal products" is 4%. So, the percentage of pharmaceuticals is pretty high. Or you were referring to something else?

As to finance, Kellogg is not viewed as a strong finance school among the top b-schools. I agree that compare to Wharton or Chicago, not that many students are interested in finance. However, as I said before, the fact is that finance is a very popular major in Kellogg, Kellogg has excellent faculty and curriculum in finance major, and 1/4 to 1/3 students go to finance related jobs every year. Actually, because all students are not pursuing a career in finance, it's somewhat easier for you to get an i-banking job, if that is what you want.

During the application process, you need to use your judgement on many of the issues. As to your first question, there is really no hard requirement. You can put 1000 words into two paragraphs if you don't think the adcoms will feel strange when they read your essay. So, I think usually you will end up with a little more than a page. But really case by case. As to your second question, you can do either way, one event with multiple aspects, or multiple events, depending on which can best show you leadership skills.
