Kellogg2008 Q&A

nicole2007

hi kellogg2008,

thanks for your reply!

would you mind answering more questions?

1. teaching method

i heard that teaching method covers 30% case studies, 30% lectures, 30% projects, around 30% learning team and some others. what is your comment on each teaching method according to your personal experience? more and more b-schools use case study as the major one. what is the value of lectures? which one do you think is most efficient?

2. study pressure

as far as i know, study pressure is not that much at kellogg in comparison with hbs, esp. in the first year.a woman who is taking one-year program at kellogg currently said no much academic pressure is put on students. do you feel stressful at school now? how do you balance study and social network? schools normally provide you tons of exposures to various activities.

3. financial aid

will kellogg offer scholarship to chinese students? what is the max amount? is there any sholarship only to women at kellogg?

thanks again

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.

thanks ,make sense

hi kellogg2008,

My question is about healthcare management. What differentiates the kellogg's healthcare program from that of Whaton or Duke? How many student are currently involved in the program. What efforts the school made in support of those students getting intern opportunities or getting jobs?

Any feedback would be hightly appreciated! Many thank.

I did some research on half of the top 15 b-schools last year, and only one of them was using more than 40% case study. Unless they changed dramatically in the last one year, it seems that most schools are using 30-40% case study, and Kellogg is one of them. Different teaching methods have different cons and pros. I personally don't think one is always bettern than another. For example, for accounting, especially at the beginning, case study doesn't seem to make much sense to be when I don't even know the basic terms. I learned all my undergrad stuff in China under lectures, and it certainly has some value.

2. study pressure

as far as i know, study pressure is not that much at kellogg in comparison with hbs, esp. in the first year.a woman who is taking one-year program at kellogg currently said no much academic pressure is put on students. do you feel stressful at school now? how do you balance study and social network? schools normally provide you tons of exposures to various activities.

I won't say it's stressful, but it's certainly extremely busy. The school doesn't give you pressure on anything. It's up to you to figure out what you want to do and where you want to put time in. We just finished one exam. There are still many students who care a lot about their scores. It's not because of any pressure from anyone (most recruiters won't ask you GPA at all), but because they want to learn from the course. With that said, there definately are some other people who are pretty happy with a "B" (that's why they call it B-school. kidding).

I am still learning how to balance study and social life, so I don't have a good answer for you yet. From what I heard, you need to prioritize your task well and to manage your time wisely. Easier said than done though.

3. financial aid

will kellogg offer scholarship to chinese students? what is the max amount? is there any sholarship only to women at kellogg?

The info about some school scholarships is available online. The max should be full-tuition waiver. Then there are some other corporate and individually funded scholarships, whose have a big range. There are scholarships for women only. I cannot remember the name though, as I am not qualified. You can check with the financial office for details.

thanks again

其实大多数人在压力下都会努力，但在没有外界硬性压力的情况下，每个人的自觉状况就不一样了，这也许是优人和庸人最大的不同。

谢谢Kellogg2008

To Elvilla,

Frankly, I think all three healthcare programs (Warton, Fuqua and Kellogg) are good. Duke's program is the largest. But all major Pharmaceutical companies recruit over those schools, including Michigen.

My friend at Duke got offer from Merck, and my friends from here received offers from Eli Lily and McKinsey. It is a pretty job market now. I am not exactly sure how many students are actually in the program because at Kellogg you can pick up as many majors as you can. Besides the all the other well-known career service here, one thing I want to mention is Kellogg's mentorship program for healthcare majors. You can pick a exective mentor (CEO or CFO level) in healthcare industry in the first year. And you are able to meet them several times a year to discuss your career aspiration and plans. Bottom line is that Kellogg is dedicated to help you to land your ideal job. I only started two weeks ago, and I will let you know if I have more information. Thanks.

你好，Kellogg2008有几个申请表的细节问题拿不准，请教一下：

1 有一栏Reason for leaving，如果是现职，还没有离开，是空着不填，还是写上PURSUING A MBA

2 我记得好象原来有个贴子（刚才怎么也找不到了），说是Language Proficiency里只填你会的非英语语言，因为英语被认为是当然应该掌握的语言（G/T成绩也有），也就是说只填汉语就行了，还是说英语的各项也要再填一遍？

3 还有，Proposed majors一栏，通常选多少个为宜？比如感兴趣的可能较多，但似乎选多了也不太好吧

谢谢！
