Kellogg MBA Admissions Interview Questions: Round 2 / Adcom / Phone Interview

I am an international applicant. I got a interview waiver first but later a mail asking for a telephonic interview. The interview was exactly 30 mins long. The interviewer told me in advance that she has read only my resume, not my application. Here are the questions asked in actual order:-

  • Tell me about your undergraduate experiences.
  • Based on your experiences in college, when did you decide to join company X and why.
  • Tell me about your work at company X.
  • What is your most important contribution to your company?
  • Have you held any leadership positions at work?
  • Have you faced any challenges as a leader at work? How did you deal with them?
  • Are there any other leadership experiences at work or in college that you would like to share?
  • What are your goals? How would an MBA help you accomplish them
  • Why Kellogg? Here among other things I mentioned abt the 360 degree leadership assessment. So she asked a follow up question:-
  • What do you expect the 360 degree leadership assessment to tell you about your leadership style?
  • Which clubs will you participate in at Kellogg?
  • What are your interests outside work? – Here I mentioned my love for aerial adventure sports – skydiving, parasailing, flying planes, paragliding etc. On that she remarked that I better have a good Health Insurance 🙂
  • Would you like to tell me anything else abt yourself?
  • Questions.

The interview was extremely easy going and comfortable and I believe it went pretty well.
