MBA Dutchie: Bring it on!
http://mbadutchie.blogspot.com/2007/08/bring-it-on.html
Applicant-turned-student blog from a Dutch guy attending Kellogg. Monday, August 20, 2007. Flight into Chicago - check. Getting through immigration - check. Finding apartment - check. Spending spree at IKEA / Wal-Mart - check. Making apartment livable - check. Tell utilities, bank, Kellogg I'm here - check. Getting some rest - check. I'm as ready as I can be. Let the games begin. But I guess we'll just have to wait and see. Whenever I start to worry about how I will stand up against my fellow Kellogg...

Applicant-turned-student blog from a Dutch guy attending Kellogg. Thursday, June 28, 2007. Let the recruiting begin! Have you ever heard that an MBA is really a two year recruiting event? Well, better make that two years and two months. I just got invited by McKinsey for a summer event. Such an invitation would have been unimaginable six months ago, so I guess the MBA is starting to pay off already, and I haven't even started yet! Monday, June 25, 2007.

Applicant-turned-student blog from a Dutch guy attending Kellogg. Thursday, August 23, 2007. Just days ago I was writing about how incredibly prepared I felt. Now, before I've even had one single class, the first feeling of ". Oh My God - what have I gotten myself into. Has already crept into my mind. So in short - not only is it going to be tough to get considered for a job at a bulge bracket bank, I'm also going to have extremely qualified Kellogg students competing against me for the same positions.

MBA Dutchie: March 2007
http://mbadutchie.blogspot.com/2007_03_01_archive.html
Applicant-turned-student blog from a Dutch guy attending Kellogg. Saturday, March 31, 2007. All good advice on writing b-school essays includes a mention of the word 'introspection'. It means thinking about what you want to do when you grow up. Why is it necessary? Because admission committees are not impressed with people who want to get their MBA at this-and-that school because it 'seems like a fun thing to do'.

http://mbadutchie.blogspot.com/2007/06/consulting-versus-i-banking.html
Applicant-turned-student blog from a Dutch guy attending Kellogg. Monday, June 25, 2007. Now that I am a Kellogg student, I have the privilege of choosing between a career in consulting and investment banking. It feels a bit like deciding between becoming a pop star or an astronaut, but when it comes to making a decision, it's not so easy. On their "Investment Banking and Capital Markets" career path website, Kellogg's Finance department puts it like this. Update: site is limited to Kellogg students....

Applicant-turned-student blog from a Dutch guy attending Kellogg. Saturday, January 13, 2007. After clicking the nerve-wrecking Submit button on my H/S/W/K applications, I was hoping for a sigh of relief, but it didn't come.

Monday, January 8, 2007. Wanted: a 'true voice'. Man, I am getting really frustrated with the ...

MBA Dutchie: The conundrum continues
http://mbadutchie.blogspot.com/2007/07/conundrum-continues.html
Applicant-turned-student blog from a Dutch guy attending Kellogg. Sunday, July 15, 2007. I wrote to my Kellogg alum interviewer about my consulting / i-banking dilemma. He strongly advised me not to go into i-banking, unless I didn't really want a life or didn't like my girlfriend too much. Moreover, "you don't really learn anything useful besides selling and of course Excel and Powerpoint". Is true. Their response: All of it. Yes, the pay and coolness factor are luring, but -. So, right now my cards are...
