Kellogg 1Y Program

Hi all,

Moving forward with a round 2 app for Kellogg's 1Y program. GMAT is on the lower end (670), but have good work exp (2 years IB, 4 years PE with promo to VP) and education (BBA Accounting 3.4, MS Finance 3.7 from target in south). Wondering if anyone has any insight into if Kellogg's 1Y program has different weighting / standards for GMAT score than 2Y program?

Thanks.

Hopefully you will get invited to interview. For 1Y, Kellogg is a bit more forgiving on the stats. I presume that you want to stay in PE but simply want to build out your skills and knowledge so you can accelerate your trajectory. I suspect that you are likely a compelling applicant.

Wishing you the best!

P.S. If you aren't accepted, you might look at the Cornell 1Y program for which you would be eligible since you already have a masters degree. You might also be eligible for Duke's Accelerated MBA (this is a fairly new program so I think they are kind of flexible on qualifications).
