Kellogg MBA takes question

rotem

If you are interested in manufacuturing, the MBA/MMM will be the best choice you will never meet again. I had been in the manufacturing for five years, and I fully understand that the manufacturing is the core competence for China now, but it is in a lower level than the States and EU. To improve the standard of manufacturing is very important for China to develop further. I am from the EU, and I also lived in China for many years. I am surely aware of the difference. Hope you enjoy your applicatioin process. I know it is panic, but is rewarding for your life.

Hi Kellogg_Mba,

Thanks for taking questions here. I am a keen Kellogg aspirant and have two questions.


1. Can you tell us the average age of entering Chinese Mainland Kellogg MBA candidates?
2. How many of them have a marketing background? Which companies are they from? and which companies have they joined after Kellogg?

Thanks again.

kellogg_MBA, could you talk about the application situation for those chinese already in USA, from previous years' experience? thx

I am not from Kellogg, but I have a lot of friends from Kellogg. I don't think age and backgroud are important to get admission. They are really diversified. My friends were from manufacuturing, consulting, auditing, public relation, marketing, venture capital, startup etc. The most important thing during your application is that you shall feel that you fit with Kellogg. It is like dating. If you both match well, it certainly has a good result, if not, it will be a tragedy, even though occasionally you got admission. )I suggest that when you search for your ideal schools, you cherish it as searching for a person you can get married to, so you will have to find one which match you well, everything about school, e.g. curriculum, life style, environment etc. It is a bet for your rest of your life, you shall be very serious on it. Are you going to marry a beautiful girl or handsome boy with a very bad temper? If not, I trust you understand the true value of marriage. The same as application for b-school. The above is my personal viewpoint, but I sincerely it will refresh something to you. Good luck on your application!
