Kellogg MBA Admissions Interview Questions: Alumni / Round 1

My interview was relatively laid back. It was less than a mile from my house, at the alumni’s office. He rescheduled on me a few times, but it worked out in the end. He was very friendly. I was a little intimidated at first because he’s relatively accomplished (numerous articles appear upon googling him). It was my first interview so I was definitely nervous… he didn’t ask me anything difficult. In fact, he began with an introduction on his own background which made the interview much more conversational…

-Tell me about yourself. Where are you from? (I started with undergrad, but he then interrupted to ask where I grew up)
-Why did you choose to work at your current place of employment?
-What do you like about it / what don’t you like about it
-Why MBA, why now
-Why Kellogg
-Extracurriculars?

That’s about it. I had answers for everything–nothing threw me off, but he was so friendly i couldn’t really read him. Maybe I blew it!
