I interviewed at the alumnus office for R2 three days ago. I was 10 mins early and he was 10 min late so I had to wait and was veeeery nervous but when he entered the room and gave me a huge smile I immediately felt better (yes, Kellogg people are nice:)). The interview was pretty straightforward and lasted about 30 mins with the last 10 minutes of questions by my side. He initially talked a little bit about himself and explained how the interview was going to be structured and also said we had to talk in English (I’m an international applicant). Here are the topics we covered:
– Tell me about yourself (with some sub-questions but nothing really unexpected, just simple questions to better understand my background)
– Why an MBA?
– Why Kellogg?
– Why a two year program vs. an accelerated one (he had finished the accelarated one year program)
– What will you contribute to Kellogg?
– Did you apply to other schools? (he did not specifically ask for the names though)
– Any questions for me.
No leadership questions or things like that. The interview was formal in terms of content, but at the same time pretty relaxed and the alumnus was very nice all the time.
Good luck!
