The Kellogg essay topics for the 2008-2009 application season have been posted! The adcom will again expect applicants to complete three mandatory questions and then select two more from a list of four. This year, the Kellogg adcom still requires its essays to be double-spaced. Although the two-page limit for the mandatory essays remains unchanged, the adcom now asks that applicants limit their additional two essays to no more than two paragraphs, a change from last year’s 2-3 paragraph guideline.
Here are the official Kellogg essay topics for the upcoming season:
1: Briefly assess your career progress to date. Elaborate on your future career plans and your motivation for pursuing a graduate degree at Kellogg (1-2 pages).
2: Describe how your background, values, academics, activities and/or leadership skills will enhance the experience of other Kellogg students (1-2 pages).
3: Describe your key leadership experiences and evaluate what leadership areas you hope to develop through your MBA experience (1-2 pages).
