We just had to do our taxes, fill out a FAFSA, and submit a standard Kellogg scholarship app, which took about 10 minutes. <br /><br />Afterward, the school puts together a comprehensive aid package using the best options possible, and you just sign off on how much of the aid you want. They also look for scholarships/grants that you might be qualified for. I know a few people that didn&#39;t receive scholarships until months after getting accepted and confirming their spot.Orlandohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02028827158625710450noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1244525137030912020.post-73500183806607677122009-11-11T19:45:31.516-06:002009-11-11T19:45:31.516-06:00Same Northwestern undergraduate alum.<br /><br />Just wondering, since most Kellogg MBA&#39;s do not have parents paying for their MBA, is the financial aid good, specifically the grant package? Just wondering how much of the 75,000 per year that I have to pay to Kellogg? Do you have any idea how much debt MBA&#39;s go into? I tried looking for the statistics, but can&#39;t find anything...<br /><br />Look forward to your reply.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1244525137030912020.post-51589612249933378562009-11-11T19:14:51.510-06:002009-11-11T19:14:51.510-06:00I&#39;m sorry to hear it. I imagine they are missing out on very talented people, and I would look at it as their loss if they are using such shallow criteria for their recruiting. <br /><br />Good luck with the interviewing. I hope that everything turns out well.Orlandohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02028827158625710450noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1244525137030912020.post-32570081208851478622009-11-11T18:45:22.841-06:002009-11-11T18:45:22.841-06:00Shame on the person who wrote the first comment.<br /><br />Well management consulting is increasingly image-oriented, especially at companies like Bain. It&#39;s pretty much a fact I didn&#39;t get an offer from a consulting firm because I&#39;m overweight. (I went to Northwestern undergraduate). I saw my peers--many with lowers GPAs, etc--get offers in 2007, and I wondered why I couldn&#39;t land a second round interview...Although I had a job in finance, it got eliminated, and now I&#39;m back interviewing and praying I get an offer...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1244525137030912020.post-58929223442152512462009-11-10T23:20:59.581-06:002009-11-10T23:20:59.581-06:00I&#39;m just glad that physical appearance isn&#39;t one of the admissions criteria, or else I would have been hosed!
