I applied R2 and interviewed with an alum in my city. I met her at a cafe. She asked the following questions:
- walk me through your resume
- why mba? why kellogg?
- what do you find most challenging or difficult about your job?
- talk about your proudest achievement.
- talk about a time you led a team.
- how will you contribute to kellogg?
- what other schools did you apply to? (<—- be careful with this question!!!!)
- if you got into all of them, how would you choose which one to attend?
- do you think your GMAT score is accurate reflection of your intellectual ability?
- is there anything in your application that worries you?
My interviewer had a rubric/list of questions she referred to. It took about 45 minutes and I had time to ask 4-5 questions. Like all the other bschool interviews I had, it was quite informal and conversational. Don’t fret about the interviews too much (the hardest parts are already over!!) and just let your story shine through.
