The following Northwestern / Kellogg interview questions and report were submitted to Clear Admit by a Round 1 applicant. Good luck to them!
The interview was extremely easy going – my interviewer put me at ease at the very offset. My interviewer was more on the quiet side but kept the encouragement to proceed going. She started with asking me about to walk her through my résumé where we spent a good 10 minutes as she would ask questions at various points (like why did you chose that major), asking me to clarify a point or two (explain what I meant by solar photovoltaics), but nothing out of ordinary. Then because we only had about 15 minutes to go and she had a lot of questions to cover, we went into almost a rapid-fire mode.
Questions I got asked are (not verbatim, and I may have missed 1 or 2):
- Why MBA? Why now? Could you achieve your goals without an MBA?
- Why Kellogg?
- What will you contribute to the Kellogg community?
- What is your leadership style?
- What’s your biggest challenge as a leader?
- What would your peers say are your greatest strengths and weaknesses?
- Tell me about a time you were in a challenging situation.
- What are your short term goals? Long term goals?
The interview part got over in about 35 minutes. Then she asked me if I had any questions. I asked her one and we spent about 10 minutes talking about that.
