Kellogg Essay Questions Are Now Available!
Thank you for your interest in the Kellogg School of Management. My name is Beth Tidmarsh, and I am Director of Admissions for Kellogg’s Full-Time MBA programs.
I am excited to tell you that our 2014-2015 essay questions are now posted online. Please find the questions below:
For 2014-2015, the following two essays are required of all applicants:
- Resilience. Perseverance. Grit. Call it what you will … challenges can build character. Describe a challenging experience you’ve had. How were you tested? What did you learn? (450 words)
- Leadership requires an ability to collaborate with and motivate others. Describe a professional experience that required you to influence people. What did this experience teach you about working with others, and how will it make you a better leader? (450 words)
Certain applicants will respond to additional questions:
- Dual-degree applicants: For applicants to the MMM or JD-MBA dual degree programs, please explain why that program is right for you. (250 words)
- Re-applicants: Since your previous application, what steps have you taken to strengthen your candidacy? (250 word limit)
More information about applying can be found on the Kellogg website.
The 2014-2015 application will be available later this summer. In the meantime, we encourage you to learn more about Kellogg and each of our four full-time MBA programs. Please do not hesitate to contact the Kellogg Admissions team if you have any questions.
