Kellogg School of Management acceptances?

How come nobody has been accepted into Kellog? (or do they not do undergraduate admissions like that) Sorry if I don't sound like I know what I'm talking about, because I don't ~~ I'm just a sophomore in HS looking for info ^^.

Thanks for any responses and information regarding the subject.

Kellogg is a graduate school.

I know, but like at WUStL you apply directly to Olin as an undergraduate..

so my next question is, what undergraduate school would you take to get the courses required for Kellogg?

At a school like Wash U (as you mentioned) or Wharton, the business school offers both a graduate degree and an undergraduate degree. Both of those schools also require those seeking to major in the business school to apply directly to the business school as a freshman. MIT or U. Mich have another program: at MIT, you are admitted to the institute without consideration of your potential major and you are free to choose a major in the Sloan School of Management if you wish. Northwestern, Harvard, Yale, and Stanford, for example, have only graduate schools of business. You cannot major in business at those four schools, nor can you take classes in the business school as an undergraduate. Admission to the graduate schools of business is based not only on undergraduate performance but also on work experience and other factors. There are no required undergraduate courses per se, unlike medical school. Also, business schools tend to have older students, in the 25-30 age range, who have had some work experience, unlike law or medical schools, which accept students mostly right out of college. Hope that answers your question.

I am not sure about this. But I think if you major in industrial engineering or economics at NU and have taken advance courses, you may be eligible to take couple grad-level classes at the B-school.

Well, atm I really want to go to WUStL or U of Chicago anyways (in that order). I'll probably apply ED to Olin when I go to college.. my dads alumni and he has always accredited a portion of his success to Olin, in particular. Plus I'm originally from St. Louis and I <3 the area. I guess it's not ranked as high as Northwestern or the Ivy League schools, but I'd prefer something non-ivy anyways

Thanks for your help guys, I've always felt very confused as to how the undergradute to business graduate change occurs. I'm so glad to have it somewhat straightened-out and clarified.
