summerkool I postpone Kellogg due to several reasons: first of all, an objective obstacle, the school asks for official transcripts to be delivered by regular mail within deadline. I couldn't make it in R1, as my postgraduate diploma is in fact not published yet (it's a matter of days, but still. I hope to get it this Saturday).
Subjectively, there is the same issue as with Wharton - Kellogg is not much active in Russia, and there was only one info session recently, which I missed due to a foreign trip. Positive thing, Kellogg attracts me in personal way (I'd like to live in campus rather than in a big city, and Evanston sounds like a nice place), but because of lack of first-hand information I cannot yet figure out good reasons Why Kellogg.
If 5 schools will not be too much for me, I will probably apply in R2.
