Northwestern / Kellogg MBA Deadlines 2024-2025
The Kellogg School of Management has released the 2024-2025 deadlines for its two-year full-time MBA program.
Kellogg is conducting its application review process over three rounds of deadlines this year. Whereas many MBA programs conduct interviews by invitation only, Northwestern asks all prospective students to schedule an interview with a member of the admissions committee. Applicants provide their time zones in the application and can expect to receive interview scheduling instructions within six weeks of the application deadline.
Applicants should note that all materials must be submitted by 5:00 PM Central Time on the date of each deadline.
| Round | Application Deadline | Admissions Decision Released |
|---|---|---|
| Round 1 | September 11, 2024 | December 11, 2024 |
| Round 2 | January 8, 2025 | March 26, 2025 |
| Round 3 | April 2, 2025 | May 7, 2025 |
Required Materials
A complete application must include transcripts from all colleges and universities attended, a resume, GMAT or GRE scores, responses to essay questions, letters of recommendation, and video essays. The video essay is accessible once the application and fee have been submitted. The $250 application fee must be submitted with the application via credit card. Fee waivers are granted to applicants who are active duty US military or US military veterans who have been on active duty within three years of applying, and candidates employed by Teach For America, AmeriCorps or the Peace Corps within the last three years. Forte MBA Launch, JumpStart Network, Posse Scholar, Reaching Out MBA (ROMBA) and Riordan Program members, fellows and alumni may also request consideration for a fee waiver.
How are Interviews Scheduled?
Admissions interviews will be conducted online for the 2024-2025 admissions season.
All applicants must indicate their time zone in their application. Then, the adcom will reach out via email with scheduling instructions within six weeks of the application deadline.
Interview slots are scheduled on a first-come, first-served basis. Interviews typically last 30-45 minutes and are conducted Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday, and select Saturdays.
Waivers may be issued due to high demand and limited availability of interviewers. All interview requests are final and may not be changed after submission. Applicants who are unable to attend their interview must contact the office of admissions to cancel the request.

I am a 29 yo black brazilian woman. I am civil engineer by the oldest civil engineer school of Brazil with full scholarship. I have been working with data since 2015 and now I am coordinator of a data team I the biggest Latin American Bank. Currently I am studying for toefl and improving my English. My main purposes joining a top tier mba are to improve my leadership skills and to learn with different people from different backgrounds (I am working in the same business since 2017).
I am originally from the UK (now a permanent resident) and went to community college (3.6 gpa), then transferred to a top 25 undergrad and severe health issues due to a disability causing me to get a 3.1 gpa. I then stayed there and did a master’s in finance with a 3.8 gpa. I am very passionate about giving back, especially about the homelessness epidemic. Before college I spent a year in Switzerland volunteering at homeless shelters. During college I led a campus ministry with a focus on helping the unhoused. After my experience with my disability, I started a nonprofit that has consulted with several shelters and foodbanks to help those with similar health issues as myself. I also personally raised capital to purchase and preserve an affordable multifamily property. My career has been in real estate since I graduated, but I have job hopped. My first job was 5 months, then I moved to be closer to family. My next job was for 7 months, but I quit as they were taking actions to make housing unaffordable for first time buyers. My next job was in acquisitions but I was laid off with about half the company due to the rising interest rates that affected the industry. I have been at an impact real estate private equity firm for almost 2 years in an acquisitions, development, and asset management role with a promotion. All my roles have been for REITs or PE firms. My post-mba goal is banking to better learn capital markets and long term to start an affordable real estate investment firm, perhaps in London. I would love to be a wire tap candidate, fingers crossed.
Applying for deferred programs at the mentioned schools. African woman studying Comp Sci and Math. GMAT Focus 98 %tile. Substantial community involvement and some experience at big tech working as a SWE. Thinking of consulting or product management post MBA.

Is it possible to get into Stanford GSB if I was waitlisted at Haas? Considering Stanford is more selective, is there still hope?
