Kellogg2008 Q&A

lilianliao

各位，我虽然不是Kellogg的学生，但是我上周借公司在美国开会的机会，去我一直很憧憬的Kellogg做了个campus visit. 由于我在芝加哥只停留一天，周五早上9点飞机到，找到酒店，坐奇慢无比的CTA到达Evasten已经是下午2点半了。坐落在Evaston的northwestern的校园在Chicago CTA沿线的破旧的建筑的衬托下，显得就像童话里的小镇一样漂亮，打消了我原来的焦虑。参加了一个一年级学生做导游的Kellogg campus visit.其实也就是带你兜兜商学院那楼。不过那天那个英国帅哥到是很不错，回答了很多奇奇怪怪的问题，包括说他一开始也担心他的英国文化会和自大的美国MBA文化不合，但是他说在kellogg他的担心是多余的。但是讲老实话，去kellogg on campus interview的人都很严肃和紧张，至少那天下午我遇到的人都是这样。可能我是做销售的缘故，对人事都有些敏感。campus visit 结束后，我没啥特别的感觉，初感觉好像在kellogg里的人都蛮结棍的，而且个忙个的，相对没有duke校园里的人那样见到你不管认不认识先冲你笑笑，而且学校里亚洲学生非常少，不太能遇见中国人。但是随着之后接触到的人和事，让我逐渐改变了想法,他们都是一些smart的人，而且也很愿意帮助别人。

本来想回到Chicago downtown,做个city tour,因为我从来没有去过，但是想想，对kellogg那么憧憬就这么走了有些不甘心，就留下来参加了一个叫Women Business Association的讨论会，其实是2个女学生和你聊聊，看看你有什么问题需要解决的，由于她们希望增加女性的录取率。这样反倒让我有更多的机会单独问问题。我们在学校的一个公共区域聊天，无意中听见有人说中文。 呵呵，和WBA的人聊完，我就主动上去搭讪了。

由于我去的那天是周五，每个周五5-7pm,kellogg都会有一个team game,我遇到的是不同club的代表穿着橡皮桶一样的相扑服PK，哈哈，这个时候才感觉到Kellogg的学生是：study hard and play hard.

我遇到的这两位男生都是中国大陆来的。下面就来回答大家关心的问题:

2008界，即2006年入学Kellogg的大陆的人总共4个，且均为男性。很荣幸我遇见了50%。 我遇到的两位，一个是KPMG的外派到美国工作了1-2年，然后再申请的；另一个原来是德勤的。他乡遇同仁很是亲切，我和他们还有他们的一些朋友一起吃了晚饭，都是一些很nice的人。

总的来说，Kellogg是一所很棒的学校，但是不可否认，竞争的确很激烈，而且亚洲人也的确很少.

I am glad that you like Kellogg and the people at Kellogg.

The event you went to is called TG (Thank God It's Friday). Every Friday from 5-7pm, some club or group will host a TG event. As to the number of mainland China students, we have a total of 7, 2 of which have GC.

I will say Kellogg students are very friendly, but probably in a different way. There are more than 1200 students total at Kellogg. It's impossible to know everyone and therefore hard to tell who is visiting Kellogg. Besides, last two weeks, it was mid-term for first-year and IB/MC recruiting for second-year. People did look a little intense.

For people who plan to visit Kellogg, you can contact the Chinese Business Club before you arrive so that you get more information from the Chinese students here. We'd love to help as much as we can.

The application is always about the whole package, not one single item. Your GPA is probably below average, but you G/T are pretty high, which can offset a little bit. In any case, you cannot change your GPA anymore. Therefore, focus on the rest in your application package, mainly your essays, interview, and, to some extend, recommendations. The adcom will look at your academic achievements, professional progression, leadership & teamwork, and community service. Work hard to show a well-rounded you according to those criteria.

Hi, here is another applicant of Kellogg.

A question for Kellogg2008:

Could you pls help to list some popular courses for ppl who want to head for consulting?

Thank you very much!

Kellogg2008

For consulting, you have to know a little bit of everything. So, besides the core, people usually take at least one advanced course in finance, marketing, management, and operations. Beyond that, it really depends on where your interests are and where you want to focus on. I will try to list some popular courses later when I've got time.
