Well, I really like the work experiences you would bring to the game as an MBA student. As you probably know, there is a shortage of candidates with real manufacturing experience so your work background brings a sorely needed diversity component to an elite MBA class. I think Kellogg is a great choice for you, given that background and your desire to work in the consumer products industry.

Well, I really like the work experiences you would bring to the game as an MBA student. As you probably know, there is a shortage of candidates with real manufacturing experience so your work background brings a sorely needed diversity component to an elite MBA class. I think Kellogg is a great choice for you, given that background and your desire to work in the consumer products industry. Your GRE is in line, though Kellogg is one of the few schools that does not disclose an average or median GRE in its class profile. I assume it’s because Kellogg’s GRE score does not favorably compare to other peer schools, though I could be wrong. In any case, you have taken yourself out of the IT male Indian pool which will help you immensely at all the schools to which you apply. No less important, your extras show that you are a person who is ambitious for others. If you are viewed favorably in your interview, I would think you stand an excellent chance of being in Kellogg’s next MBA cohort. Good luck to you.
