B-Schooled Podcast Episode #221: How to Nail the Kellogg Application

B-Schooled
As many B-Schooled listeners know, the Kellogg School of Management recently updated its MBA application. For this episode, host Chandler sits down with former Kellogg Admissions Officer and senior SBC Consultant Caryn to discuss all the changes…and how to tackle them.

Caryn holds an MBA from the Kellogg School and worked as an Admissions Officer for Kellogg before joining Stacy Blackman Consulting. In that role, Caryn read and evaluated thousands of applications. For this podcast, Caryn touches on a range of topics, including:

• SBC’s recent conversations with the Kellogg admissions team about a range of topics of interest to current and future students,
• The fact that Kellogg is much more than a marketing school (in fact, you might be surprised what most students are focusing on) and
• A deep-dive conversation about Kellogg’s wide range of MBA program options, including their two-year program, one-year program, MBAi program, joint degree offerings, and other program options.

Caryn also shares targeted advice on the updated Kellogg application, including specific suggestions regarding:

• Two new essay questions: what you should focus on (and what you shouldn’t),
• Possible ways to approach each of these questions,
• Ways you might structure your essays,
• Possible pitfalls for each question that applicants should be aware of, and
• How to tackle these things within a very tight word count.

Caryn then closes the podcast with some personal advice from her position as a former Kellogg MBA admissions officer that we promise you don’t want to miss.
