The following Northwestern / Kellogg MBA interview report was submitted to Clear Admit by a Round 1 applicant.
I had an off-campus interview with Kellogg conducted at a coffee shop off-campus. My interviewer had vast international experience and even just the introductions were quite impressive. Kellogg gives you the contact information of your interviewer in advance, so if you are interviewing off-campus, I would strongly recommend researching their background.
The interview itself was very much standard. There was a lot of conversation around Northwestern’s focus on ‘growth mindset’ and it seems as if alumni are still very well connected with the current events of the university. In terms of preparation, I believe the top items that applicants should prepare for is being able to concisely articulate their career objectives and know why they want to go to Kellogg. Also, there was substantial conversation about the direction the school is heading in the future and their transition to their new campus building.
