Download Application

Paper Application

The paper application is a self-mailing application procedure. You will complete, gather, and submit your application and its supporting documents, with the exception of the GMAT, in one package, which you will submit to The Part-Time MBA Program at Kellogg.

You cannot submit any part of this paper application and supporting documentation via e-mail or electronically. All paper application materials should be submitted by the application deadline dates listed on the Admission Calendar.

The part-time program paper application consists of the following components that you will download and complete.

Word Template Document

EVENING PROGRAM - Kellogg MBA Application and Essays
SATURDAY PROGRAM - Kellogg MBA Application and Essays
Recommendation Form You will need two forms for two recommenders.
You can request to have your recommender submit the recommendation in a plain, sealed envelope with the recommender's signature over the seal.

Application Information & Instructions

1. Download the Word template forms (located above) and enter your responses directly onto the template using your computer.
2.  It is permissible to use extra pages for additional information (work experience, extracurricular activities, etc.); however, to maintain formatting we encourage you to utilize the space provided within the application. You will need to use additional pages to answer the essays.
3. You must have at least version 6.0 to complete the application using the Word template. The application utilizes fill-in form fields.

The Word template is saved in Protected mode (Protect document under the Tools menu). This will allow you to move from one field to the next using the Tab key to complete your information without altering the formatting of the document. In areas where there is a checkbox or a "Yes/No" answer, mark the check (X) in the applicable space by clicking on the checkbox.

After you have completed the entire application, it is possible to adjust the document formatting (if necessary) by Unprotecting the document. To do so, select Tools on the menu and scroll down to Unprotect document. A password is not required. You will then be able to make any necessary document formatting changes.

WARNING: Once you complete the application in Protected mode, and then Unprotect the document to alter formatting, you cannot change the document back to the Protected mode without losing all the information that you entered on the application. Therefore, adjusting your formatting should be your final step.

Letter of Recommendation Form

1. You must submit two letters of recommendation from two different recommenders. The letters of recommendation should be from people who are able to evaluate your on-the-job performance and potential for a successful management career. At least one of the letters must be from a current supervisor with your current employer.
