I came to Experts' seeking help on my applications with 680 on GMAT. It was September and I did not have time to improve my score. However, I was guided to prepare for GMAT as the help from Experts' eased the applications burden on me. While I achieved a 750 on GMAT with the Experts' Global Guidance Program, my applications were also almost completed. I still applied everywhere in Round-1 and achieved multiple admits with great scholarships!

Northwestern University was founded in 1851 to meet the educational requirements of the Northwestern Territory namely the states of Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan, Wisconsin and parts of Minnesota. The University officially opened its doors in 1855. The School of Commerce opened in 1908 due to the proposal initiated by Northwestern President Edmund Janes James. The MBA program was launched in 1920 and over 400 students enrolled for it. The School of Commerce restructured its undergraduate program in 1942 by expanding it from a two-year program to a four-year program. The School of Commerce became the School of Business Administration and the Graduate Commerce Division became the Graduate School of Business Administration in 1956. The John L. and Helen Kellogg foundation donated $10million to the school in 1979 and the School was, therefore, renamed as J.L. Kellogg Graduate School of Management.
The mission of the Northwestern University Division of Student Affairs is to educate students, engage the community, and enrich the Northwestern experience.

Students gain solid grounding on the fundamentals of business management and acquire mastery in multiple disciplines of business, thus evolving themselves into well-rounded managers who can view a problem from multiple perspectives. Apart from developing the management and leadership skills of the students, a range of elective courses in the second year prepare the students for a challenging career ahead in their areas of interests. Kellogg has a new cross-disciplinary approach to teaching with four strategic initiatives: Architectures of Collaboration Initiative, Innovation and Entrepreneurship Initiative, Markets and Customers Initiative and Public-Private Interface Initiative.
