Northwestern / Kellogg Deadlines 2007-2008

Though Kellogg released their MBA application essays some time ago, the school has just recently announced its deadlines for the 2007-2008 admissions season. Part I of the application includes the data form, an interview request (either on- or off-campus) and the application fee. Part II of Kellogg’s application are the remaining materials of a release of contact information, transcripts, essays, resume, the school’s honor code and two recommendations.

As interviews are a required part of Kellogg’s admissions process, the adcom has broken up the deadlines for Part I of the application based on an applicant’s desired location for an interview. For off-campus interviews, applicants should check the appropriate box in Part I and expect up to a 6-week wait during the peak period of November to March for their interview assignment via e-mail. In some cases of high demand or remote location, the adcom may not be able to schedule an off-campus interview. In these rare cases, applicants are given an interview waiver, which does not negatively influence one’s candidacy. If choosing an on-campus interview, applicants should allow two business days after submitting Part I before contacting the admissions office directly to schedule the interview.

Part I must be submitted before interview requests can be made. Part II is due by 11:59pm CDT.
