Kellogg After NU Undergrad

<p>Does anyone have experience applying to Kellogg after finishing undergrad at Northwestern, or have friends who did, who can comment anecdotally?</p>

<p>Thanks.</p>

<p>my buddy was an nu undergrad who now attends kellogg. i believe kellogg takes quite a few nu undergrads.</p>

<p>Thanks for the input. </p>

<p>Just to clarify: I’m not talking about immediately following undergrad, I mean 4-5 years out.</p>

<p>College representation for Class of 2009 (all programs including MMM, JD, MD, Part-time, 1Y, 2Y):</p>

<p>Northwestern - 23
Harvard - 12
Princeton - 11
Yale - 5
Brown - 5
Dartmouth - 9
Cornell - 11
UPENN - 19
Columbia - 13
Chicago - 6
Duke - 14
Michigan - 18
Stanford - 15 </p>

<p>One of my ex-roomates applied to Kellogg, MIT, and UChicago after working for 3 years. He was a econ major at NU and got 700 (or 720?) on GMAT. That was a while back when Kellogg’s aveage was more like 690. Only UChicago accepted him.</p>

<p>One of my former classmates (chemE major) applied after few years of work and got accepted. He’s hardworking but because he was rather average in dealing with chemE materials, his GPA was probably something like 3.3 or so (don’t know exactly what but those Cs in orgo must have hurt). </p>

<p>It seems to me NU undergrads may not get much advantage (MBA schools these days like diversity; internationals may have easier time). Undergrad GPA is probably not a major factor as long as it’s respectable (>= 3.3 or so).</p>

<p>I have a friend who didnt get into HBS, he was on paper qualified (that is his, stats were above the avg of accepted students). He says it’s because he went to Harvard UG, and they only take so many from their own school.</p>

<p>Granted, this may or may not be BS…</p>
