Hi, here is Kellogg 2008's friend. If you can not get interview, you have no chance to get in Kellogg. If you are not arranged with alumni interview, you still have opportunity to make a phone interview directly with school. That is my experience in last year.

刚刚收到kellogg的信，被waive interview了，这么看来是没戏了老，好吧，也不多想，安心过年

The summer intern recruiting is still going on now. The three Chinese students who are looking for IB jobs all got offers from top tier banks. If you have more specific question, I can try to get more information for you. 

感谢Kellogg2008答复我问题。我因为老公要去读Northwestern另外一个学校，所以我是肯定要申请Kellogg的。我是会计背景，虽然和金融有点相关，但是象我这样没有美国学习工作背景找在美国的Summer Internship会不会非常困难，特别是在您所说的IB领域里面。还有听说不少Kellogg校友去香港实习，想问一下，对于不是金融重点的Kellogg，香港投行一般招什么样背景的学生。我知道每个人情况不一样不能一概而论，只是想看看象我这样背景的学生的情况。多谢回答。

听说最近Chicago天气比较冷，我正好4月份公司有个培训机会去美国中部。想知道到时候去Campus Visit应该找什么部门安排。多谢！

The waiver only means that there are not enough interviewers. So, don't be discouraged by it.

For IB job in the States, working experience here will help, but is not very important. People (Chinese) who got into IB have various backgrounds, from consulting, to auditing, and to engineering. Kellogg is not a traditional finance school, but more and more people are interested in finance nowadays, and about 1/5 students accept full-time offers in finance area. I will say Kellogg provides you as much opportunity as other top schools do if you are looking for IB jobs. With that said, do keep in mind that, as an international student, you have to put more effort than American students in order to land a job.

 

For the campus visit, you should contact admission office. You can also contact the Chinese Business Club if you wan to meet some Chinese students during you visit.

b) 如果本来是marketing方面的背景，毕业后选择什么方向比较好？(in usa or back to china)

c) 校园生活能不能详细介绍一下？相比其他学校比如duke, darden有什么不同?

d) 中国学生有什么传统活动吗？二年级的mentor多吗？

Many thanks!

a) 可不可以提供最近的中国大陆学生的internship和job的去向以及收入水平?

Full-time jobs: banking, consulting, investment management. Some haven't decided yet. The base salaries for banking and consulting are standard. Other jobs are case by case. You can find the employment statistics for 2006 at http://www.kellogg.northwestern.edu/career_employer/employment/2006/index.htm

Summer Intern: banking, consulting, marketing (high-tech, financial service). Some haven't decided yet.

You can find the employment statistics for 2006 at http://www.kellogg.northwestern.edu/career_employer/employment/2006/index.htm. This year should be similar, or better.

b) 如果本来是marketing方面的背景，毕业后选择什么方向比较好？(in usa or back to china)

It's really a personal choice. You can still do marketing on whatever industry you are interested. You can also choose to do something totally different, such as i-banking. At Kellogg, most of the doors are open for you. It's up to you to choose the one you consider "好".

c) 校园生活能不能详细介绍一下？相比其他学校比如duke, darden有什么不同?

Sorry, I cannot compare Kellogg with other schools, as I don't know much about other schools. "校园生活" is a topic too broad to cover here in several words. Here are a few summary words: teamwork. study hard, play hard. supportive. diverse. fun.

d) 中国学生有什么传统活动吗？二年级的mentor多吗？

Chinese students here form a very close-knit group. Everyone knows everyone well, so, to certain degree, you have all the 2nd-year Chinese students as your mentors. As to the traditional activities, we have TG/party for several traditional Chinese holidays. Besides those, we have speaker series and annual conference. Of course, there are unofficial events all the time, such as poker games.

In my last post, I mentioned about some official activities at Kellogg organized by Chinese students. Besides those, the Chinese students are also heavily involved with other various clubs and activities based on their personal interests. 

To me, the experience so far is a fun ride, although sometimes stressful. It's definately more than the course work and recruiting. It's a chance to explore and to challenge oneself. Is there any particular aspect you're interested?

Hi, Kellogg2008, I really appreciate your answer! And could you help on the following question as well?

1) It's nice to see the placements, but what I really need is the direction of CHINESE students especially from mainland. I expect you to elaborate in more detailed way..... Can you give more specific company, position, class in terms of internship and full-time job for class08,07 or 06? (like what Steven has provided the Darden info here: http://forum.chasedream.com/dispbbs.asp?boardID=13&ID=183703&star=46&page=1)

And how many percentage of full-time job was hunted through on-campus interviews (CHINESE STUDENTS)?

2) And regarding to the Mentor issue, according to your experience, will school assign one master for each new fish or fish has to seek for his master from the beginning?

3) What is your experience on the learning team (if there is any)?

4) How many Chinese students from mainland in the last 3 years? And how many if plus Chinese from other continents?

Thanks again!!!
