The interview was in the morning, and the admissions office is very friendly and professional. The admissions officer was on time for the interview, which lasted for half an hour. In the afternoon, I attended a competitive strategy course, which was very helpful in getting a feel of what life is like as a Kellogg student. The admissions officer seemed glad that I was planning to stay the afternoon to attend a class.
The admissions officer was very nice and friendly, made me feel comfortable. She didn’t seem like she wanted to stump me with questions but just get a feel for my personality.
List of interview questions
- Why MBA?
- Why now?
- Why Kellogg?
- What are your short-term and long-term goals?
- What type of leader are you?
- Is there anything else you’d like us to know about yourself?
Overall, it was a pretty pain-free experience. Everyone on campus and in the admissions office was very friendly and welcoming. The interview itself was not too challenging with no major surprises. The only surprise was when I asked her a question, and she turned around and posed the same question to me. I’d say, be prepared to show that you have done your research and have talked to current students and alumni. The more you show a genuine interest in the school, the more likely they will have a positive impression of you.
