Kellogg MBA Admissions Interview Questions: Round 1 / Alumni

Originally shared by Bee to B-School

Finally, I’m done with Kellogg interview. It’s a bit late in the game, I know. However, I think I did alright. Also, my interviewer apologizes a couple of times because he had to re-scheduled several times.

Anyway, I got into his office pretty early. I didn’t feel nervous at all. He was very relaxed & nice. Immediately, he told me that the purpose of the interview is just to get to know me more and he’ll also try to answer my questions about the school.

These are the questions:

  1. Walk me through your resume. Then some follow up questions.
  2. I’m very interested in your community activity, tell me more about this.
  3. So, help me to understand your experience in XX company.
  4. What did you do as YY (role) in XX?
  5. How did you work in team?
  6. What do you think that your peers or teammates will say about your strengths?
  7. Weaknesses?
  8. What will your manager say about your strengths & areas of development?
  9. Tell me about a time when you manage a conflict in a team.
  10. Why business school?
  11. Why Kellogg?
  12. What is your goal?
  13. What is your GMAT score?
  14. What is your GPA? How were you ranked?
  15. Which schools are you applying to?
  16. Okay, now I’m open to your questions. Anything you would want to ask me?

Then we probably talked about his experience in Kellogg for 20 minutes or so. I think he’s very nice & laid back. No surprises in the interview. He’s willing to introduce me to several alums or students who are in the same industry with me.

Overall, it was good. Just hoped that the adcom will see that my overall application is good enough to get an acceptance. Really like the school so far!
