A question about interview:

If I can visit kellogg on late October,should I schedule a on-site interview? Will it be better than off-campus interview like phone or alumni interview? I heard the interview in admission office is quite touch... 

If you can be fully prepared by then, you should schedule an on-campus, as this shows your commitment. From my own experience, phone interview is the worst, as traits other than your voice (such as your poise, appearance and facial expressions) cannot be used to add value. Alumni interview overcomes these shortcomings, but it is not as influential as an Adcom interview.

I will help answer your questions related to our life BEFORE the winter (for which you can ask our second-years). But I think I will survive as other people here. 

 

Life has been both busy and fun, stretchy and enriching. Before the orientation, students go out for a one week's KWEST trip to over 20 destinations of the world, relaxing and building up initial relationships; then a two-week orientation ("CIM") featuring crazy events like cheering competition, section showcase, section Olympics, “K”razy running, ball, etc. One leadership course is taught now, before the regular classes officially take off. 

 

There are 9 required courses to be completed in the first year during the 3 quarters. You can choose to get 1 to N majors by graduation, depending on what courses you take. Classes combine case method, field learning, lectures, simulations, etc. Many assignments are done in study groups of 5-6 people. As you may know, Kellogg stresses teamwork all the time. Almost everything is done as a group.

 

At Kellogg you have lots of Global exposure opportunities, such as overseas exchange program, business / fun trip to South America, Africa, Russia, etc.

 

One thing unique at Kellogg is that students are well respected and have great power and autonomy. Many many activities are planned and organized by second or first year students. You are encouraged to take on responsibilities and challenges as leaders on various occasions. For example, in the orientation weeks, 3 second-year students act as our section leader and they are awesome.

 

Overrall, I like the culture here best - considerate, easy-going, creative, team-work...Even if I got to know the bad news of Lehman and Merrill, I am not worried, because I can still find a marketing job even if all banks turn bad (definitely hope not!). All kinds of companies recruit here.

西北是不是特别喜欢从咨询行业还有IB里招人呢?觉得西北是所有T10里最CARE申请者背景尤其是公司背景的学校了.

在以往几界中,有没有创业的申请者被录取的呢?

类似上面的问题，学校是关注工作背景多呐，还是公司背景多呐？  如果我是来自一个非世界500强的公司，不像其他申请者都是来自各大企业的，会有很大的劣势吗？

非500强不是太大问题，我就是来自不知名的小公司。关键看你学到什么。
