Kellogg Video Questions

Hi! Do you know what type of questions are going to be in the Kellogg video essay? Are the questions similar to the ones we could get in the interview or are they more personal questions to get to know the candidate's personality?
Has somebody already done the kellogg video essay?

thanks

Recommendation letters - 3 weaknesses

Hi!
I wanted to know if it would look bad that my recommender only addresses 1 weakness when the question asks for 3. My former boss says that she can only think of one and in fact, it was the one thing that she told me while working with her.
Thanks!

Thank very much for your answers.
Do you think I need to explain my low GMAT in the optional essay? My score qualifies as a low GMAT for top MBAs right?

Thanks!

It is better salary and also a better position, would it look bad in the eyes of the Adcom to switch jobs for a little time?
