贴一个kellogg学生写给我的回信吧，此兄以前是IT test engineer，据了columbia, berkeley with $$$
Trust me, I nerd up with the best of them. The engineer stereotype actually works well to your advantage in business school. A big portion of full-time students come from engineering backgrounds (34% from eng/math/sciences background - http://www.kellogg.northwestern.edu/Programs/FullTimeMBA/Applying/Incoming_Class_Profile.aspx), and the combination of engineering undergrad and business grad is very attractive to a lot of firms. Basically, you'll be a rockstar in recruiting. As far as breaking the mold goes, I think it is important to have a compelling story for how an MBA fits into your career aspirations/goals, and why you think Kellogg is a good fit in particular. One way to do this is to specifically mention classes and other parts of the program that align with your goals and development needs. You can also search for Kellogg's "Four Pillars" to get an idea of the values that the school espouses because it is probably a good indication of what they look for in applicants. Personally, I think that you want to demonstrate in your application that you've contributed both in and out of work in leadership type roles and have experience working in teams. If you don't understand or believe in the value of teamwork, then Kellogg would be a weird choice. Even if your work seems boring, think of high-level skills that you've had to apply at work that are valuable in other contexts. For example, as a test engineer, you've probably had to communicate to others about problems that you've found via defects. In this situation, clear communication is invaluable, and that is the case in a lot of other scenarios as well (especially managing a team/business).
