Kellogg中国学生答疑

kelloggchinese

I only wrote one paragraph each and got admitted just for that.

Just kidding. But seriously, if I were you, I would try hard to refrain myself from writing too many paragraphs, and don't try to test their limits. I would also limit the short essay in one page each at most. Convey your messages in a convincing yet concise and compact way.

我今天准备提交Kellogg partII， 但是发现upload不上去，不知道是不是Embark的问题。我在北京，上次有上海的同学提到这个问题，不知后来有没有好转？

刚刚发现，原来的错误是因为使用MyIE2浏览器，用windows自带的explorer就好了。

Hi Kellogg Chinese,

What do you think is the acceptable GMAT score for admission? My TOEFL score is 643 and my GPA is 3.4. Experience: 1 year in big four; 1 year internal audit experience in an insurance company, a subsidiary of ING; 2 year research experience in the No.1 investment bank in China. If you view my background and basic information as a whole picture, what is the acceptable GMAT score for me? Thank you.

Kellogg Chinese和各位申请的同志：

正在写Essay 4的第一个题目What have been your most significant leadership roles to date? What was the most valuable lesson learned?

想请教这里的lesson 是指负面的教训呢，还是也可以包括正面的成功经验？因为以前写类似文章用的例子，是比较正面的，如果这里是前者，我还得重新想一下

谢谢！

To Cheeyong: Again, there is no cut-off point for GMAT. But if your score is lower than the average(which is around 700), you might need to show shining points elsewhere to balance your application package. It could be your extra-curriculum, could be strong work experience, or leadership potential etc. Just from looking at your working experience, you switched jobs a few times in 4 years, so you need to come up with a good story why you made those switches, and how did that fit your career goal. Good essays can definitely offset low GMAT scores in a certain extent.

To mbaapplication04: It's true there were only a few Chinese students from Mainland China in class '06. In total we(China citizens) are a little bit shy of 10. This could be a good news for this year's Chinese applicants, since AOs will be trying really hard to find more qualified Chinese applicants.

To delphine18: It could be both ways, depending on how you format the story. However, the meaning of "lesson" usually means you learned something because you did something wrong initially.

Thanks KelloggChinese. I am nearly finishing it. BTW, a little bit curious, why you are the only person here busily answering our questions? Where are the other Chinese students?

Today I just finished my online application. It is really a hard work to refine essays. Thanks for kelloggchinese's help to facilitate this forum for China applicants.  Hope all have good luck.
as to delphine18's question, I can answer this one because I attended Kellogg Dec session in shanghai. kelloggchinese is the only one from mainland in 06 class.

Oh really! I just missed the session in Dec so might have missed a lot of informations. Btw, Fengyun1, how is your interview process? I applied for alumni interview when I submitted part 1 by end of Nov 2004 but still haven't received invitation yet. It's almost 6 weeks!
