Application Essay Questions
Essay 1: Pursuing a Master’s in Management is a big decision.  Walk us through your decision to apply to Kellogg’s MS in Management Studies program, and what you’ve learned about yourself throughout your decision making and application process. (500 words)

Essay 2:  Kellogg fosters a collaborative community of learners who support each other through the rigorous MSMS coursework, and in their endeavors outside of the classroom. Tell us about an experience where you worked within a team or community to navigate a challenge or make a difficult decision.  (300 words)

Video Essay
The Video Essay is one component of the application and provides you with an additional opportunity to demonstrate what you will bring to our vibrant Kellogg community – in an interactive way. You will respond to several short video essay questions. The questions are designed to bring to life the person we have learned about on paper.
After submitting an application, you will receive an email that will include directions on how to complete the video essay questions. One question will be a “get to know you" icebreaker type of question. The second question will be an opportunity to describe your plans for the future and how Kellogg will help you on that journey. The other questions will be randomly generated questions that will be similar to interview questions.
There are practice questions that you may complete as many times as you like to get comfortable with the format and technology. The practice questions and experience will simulate the actual video essay experience, so this is meant to be a useful tool to help you feel prepared.
We encourage you to practice so you are comfortable with the format once it is time to complete the official questions. There is not an opportunity to re-do the answer to the official video essay questions.
You will have 20 seconds to think about the question and up to one minute to give your response.

We estimate the video essays will take 20-25 minutes to complete – which includes time for set-up and answering all the practice questions.  You will need an internet connected computer with a webcam, microphone and an updated version of Adobe Flash in order to complete the video essay.

Interview
To gain additional insight into an applicant's academic and professional accomplishments and goals, applicants will be invited to interview prior to the application deadline.  Interviews will be conducted in person, and will last 20-30 minutes. 

In the event that applicants are located remotely for a global program, or are working elsewhere, arrangements may be made for a Skype interview.  Dress is business casual. Applicants may not change their interview date and time after registering for an interview.
