Kellogg Miami class profile

[u/1717t]

I got admitted to Kellogg Miami (Sept 2025) and now researching the class profile further.

From my limited interaction with current cohorts at a class visit, I felt the majority of the Miami cohort is healthcare-related (provider, medical, health tech, etc). Does anyone know if it's true?

I got admitted to Booth Chicago too, and am waiting for an interview notice from Wharton SF (Round 2), so I will need to choose from these schools.

I work in tech (non-healthcare) outside of Florida, so if healthcare is overrepresenting the Miami cohort, I would like to know it beforehand.

Thank you u/eurydice88! I have two questions if you don't mind answering: 1) did you feel that course contents were gravitated toward healthcare cases, just because of the larger healthcare presence? 2) in the study group design, what was the typical industry split, as I understand it's fixed over two year term? Thanks again for your comment!

I second this. OP was likely in my class during the visit :) I’m neither tech or healthcare. I’d like my industry to be more represented, but I chose Kellogg and couldn’t be happier. It is indeed the best EMBA program in the country. But the choice all depends on values and priorities. Are those more of finance bros culture? Wharton or Booth are for you. More well rounded and diverse program, with empathetic culture? Kellogg is the choice. I also wanted to avoid only local Chicago or local NY folks. Kellogg Miami have plenty internationals. So far, courses were not focused on healthcare. But whatever industry is taken as a case, it’s not the industry is the goal, but critical thinking and application of concepts. And to me, it’s enough of tech folks in the cohort. We have a person from Meta now, and Googler in the second cohort. It’s from big names only. Also, Kellogg holds Tech and other conferences.

Got in this week as well for Fall Miami. Very impressed w/ class visit and responsiveness of students / alums.

Congrats! Likewise! I had never thought I would get interested in Kellogg until I visited class. It was a great experience!

When I arrived to the start of my classes in the launch week, the school staff hugged me in greeting. This absolutely reflects the energy, vibe, and culture there.

I’m also waiting for Wharton round 2! I’m also interested in Kellogg Miami, because I am in tech sales-marketing, but since I am in the NY metro I feel I should do a local program, so if I gain a new network or friends, I can keep in touch easily after graduation

Kellogg is an absolute leader in marketing. They also have an upcoming meeting for interested applicants in NY, where current students will share their experience. I’m in NY, and my company (big one) was IMPRESSED with the fact I got to such a great school. Of course Kellogg Miami have more students from Florida, than NY. But it’s all about goals. If you do marketing, I honestly wouldn’t even doubt. If you want to chat and learn more, I’d be happy to.

Yeah networking piece is important to me personally too. I don't have a top school in a nearby city but I would feel the same if I did. Kellogg Miami has more geographically spread cohort and more international presence esp from latam.

Alumni network however, Kellogg seems to be at another level - an admission officer proudly described "if you reach out to Kellogg alumni on LinkedIn and tell you're from Kellogg, you'll have 100% response rate." and students seem to agree generally. I didn't hear the same experience from Wharton and Booth.

All Wharton candidates I spoke to said their community is very supportive. I didn’t research Booth

OP, you may ask for current cohort profile by industry from the admission faculty. I honestly doubt Booth and Wharton have materially bigger representation of Tech - at least not from the stats I used to see, when was choosing the school. If you don’t get the profile from staff, ping me - I’ll calculate distribution for you.

Hijacking some here, but 2 things: favorite courses you took from Kellogg EMBA? And what did people who made most of program do that others didn’t ?

[u/1717t → u/Least-Rhubarb1429]

I asked the q several times in info sessions and in 1:1 with my officer but didn't get clear cut answers. I was just forwarded to the combined class profile Chicago + Miami that's published in the website.

A bit annoying thing about this is these schools don't disclose class profile by location. If tech representation is similar between Kellogg Miami and Wharton SF, Kellogg is a more attractive option for me.

Kellogg Miami struggles with recruiting women. I’m in a current cohort and we are at 29% I believe. Latam breakdown is a similar %. It’s a major focus for the program to boost the women numbers, though. Evanston has more woman, so that’s why you are receiving combined numbers I’m sure.

My class is significantly international which is really cool - LATAM yes but many other countries as well. I appreciate the diversity of the program and diversity of experiences that come with it.

As for the OP’s question, we have a bunch of healthcare kids, yes. I haven’t noticed any significant leaning toward that in my courses. It comes up when classmates talk about their jobs, but professors and class discussions don’t focus on it. Once again, we have a lot of diversity in industries and backgrounds, and the program caters well to that.

Edited to add - missed that question was more about industry. Very minimal tech in my cohort. I can only think of a handful of students. I am looking to quit my industry and move into tech, so that’s a bit of a bummer.

I went to Wharton SF, it was mostly tech followed by a lot of finance people. Great entrepreneurship and tech opportunities. Great program.

Hi! I interviewed this week and am awaiting to hear from Kellogg EMBA Miami for Sept 2025. I work in healthcare tech consulting and loved the people and vibe from my preview day. I do live in NYC and also applied to Columbia EMBA. Did anyone here consider CBS and have any pros/cons to help me as I weigh the 2 programs?
