Kellogg 2019 MBA Strategy Guide

EssaySnark's Strategies for the 2019-'20 MBA Application for Northwestern Kellogg

Leadership. Teamwork. Career goals (yes they ask about those!) — plus “lasting impact”?? And your personal values too?? Dang, these are hard questions! This year’s Kellogg application gives you enough room to tell a full story, but what story you choose to tell in each will make all the difference.

If you’re also applying to Harvard, Stanford or MIT… do Kellogg first. The Kellogg essays will help you identify your key messages and define your theme in a way that should carry over to any other applications you write.

But if you’re doing Ross or Columbia or Duke or possibly UCLA or heck, even Wharton or any other school with “easier” essays, then that other school would be a better first choice to start learning the skills of good essay-writing. Instead of Kellogg. Because these Kellogg questions really are hard and will require significant time, effort, and THINKING!

With the new Kellogg Essay 2 asking about your values, and also because there’s so many awesome and new things going on with this school, EssaySnark took the opportunity to do a complete bottom-up re-write of our Kellogg SnarkStrategies Guide for 2019. This all-new edition has a cleaner organizational structure, and the advice for Essay 2 is broken into multiple sections, with alternative ways for you to approach your thinking process, so that you are less likely to get stuck (and frustrated!). This version is one-third longer than the 2018 edition, and all of that information has been carefully vetted and tested, so that we’re not just inundating you with ideas but are offering structured methods for you to think through the problem. You’ll get the new details we’ve gathered about Kellogg since last season – along with critical insights about the rest of the application that you won’t find anywhere else. If you want help on how to craft your strategy and polish your message – and some tips on how to prepare for the video essay and for the interview – this is your go-to resource to get started and build out your best approach.
