Real Humans of the Northwestern Kellogg MBA Class of 2020
Northwestern’s Kellogg School of Management Dean Sally Blount’s term could not have ended in a better way. On top of record fundraising and academic achievement resulting in the development of new programs and the construction of the 415,000-square-foot Kellogg Global Hub, she can place one more feather in her cap. Blount departed this past August, but her leadership helped Kellogg welcome the largest-ever percentage of women to campus this fall as part of its most recent incoming full-time, two-year MBA class. The 478-person Class of 2020 will be 46 percent women, which is a 4-percentage-point gain over Read more

Post-MBA Target Industry: Entrepreneurship
GRE: 318
GPA: 3.59
Years of Work Experience: 3.5
Location: Georgia
Post MBA Location: Southeast
Notes:

Looking to launch a tech startup post MBA, without any background in tech. Come from a quant heavy background and undergraduate coursework. I regularly attended admissions events, in person and online at my schools. I hope that focusing energy on my few top schools and spending a lot of time on essays will help me overcome the less than average test score (164 quant 154 verbal) and GPA.

Serial entrepreneur with a history of profitable small businesses. Was promoted twice in 3.5 years. Involved in many extracurricular activities in and outside of work. My background is very centered around financial services/insurance, is this a red flag for a pivot to Tech Entrepreneurship?

Transferred between two state schools in the southeast. School I graduated from is a top 25 undergrad business program. Obtained a few professionals designations post grad.
