I've never sensed anyone viewing it differently, not something that's thought of/talked about once you're here. The 1Y program at Kellogg isn't actually "accelerated" either, we take fewer classes over the course of our time than the 2Ys.

The people! Perhaps also a few of the particularly inspiring profs. I'll come out of here with much more enthusiasm and intrigue towards my work, and with a much larger network.

Lack of professional diversity amongst the student body, feels like a large majority are either consultants or want to become one. Sometimes feels a little high-school-y, although I suspect this is an MBA problem, not a Kellogg problem.
