Deadlines

Exchange applications will be done in two rounds. If a student is highly interested in a particular school(s), we recommend that he or she apply during round 1. We cannot guarantee that all partner schools will have spaces available for round 2. Typically, several schools close during round 1. Students interested in studying abroad during fall 2013 must apply during round 1.

Round 1 dates:
Wednesday, April 10th, at 9AM: Exchange applications due, including all fall quarter exchanges
Friday, April 19th: Exchange placements announced
Friday, April 26th at 9AM: Exchange contracts due

Round 2 dates:
Wednesday, September 25th at 9AM: Exchange applications due
Wednesday, October 2nd: Exchange placements announced
Wednesday, October 9th: Exchange contracts due

Application Process

Students may apply to as many schools as they like. Each application will be considered on its own merit in comparison with the other applications for that particular school. Applying to multiple schools does not affect a student’s chances of being assigned to their first choice.

Please do not underestimate the importance of the two essay questions. They can be very important in determining inclusion in the exchange program.

Please complete the following steps all in direct sequence:

Step 1. Complete the following form
Student's Full Name:
Student's ID Number:
Date:
Phone:
Email:
Number of programs to which you are applying:
Please rank the order of program preference:


Step 2. Essay Questions
Answer the following two questions, totaling no more than four typed pages (double-spaced, Times New Roman, 12-point font). Send your answers via email as an attached Word file to Global Programs by the respective deadline. The more specifics you can offer in your responses, the more informed decisions we can make in terms of where to place students. *If you are applying to more than one school, please submit a separate essay #2 for each school. Please do not combine your school choices into one essay*. 1. Tell us about a formative experience that you have had with a different culture. How did this experience change your views on people, business, community, or society? How does the experience influence the way you approach your time at Kellogg? 2. How do you think studying abroad at this particular school and/or in this particular country will impact you personally, academically, and in your future career?

Step 3. Resume
Please send a current version of your resume via email as an attached Word file to Global Programs.

Decision Process

A selection committee, composed of Global Programs administrators, will determine exchange placement.

When making a decision about where to place students, the essays will factor in to 75% of the decision; Kellogg grades will comprise the other 25%.

Although students may not get their first choice, we strive to place every interested student at an exchange school where they will be happy studying.
