Do we get three attemps as well in video essays due on Nov 4? Please share those who have done resubmitting your video essays. Thanks!

Hi nextstopmba, I'm Singapore. I submitted on the 15 Oct (very near to R1 deadline), and Kellogg sent me interviewer contact on 25Oct. I don't think it's a big problem if you don't meet Dec 3 off campus interview recommended deadline. Disclaimer: Just my opinion.

All the best to your application.

Hey,

I am from Singapore as well. Submitted my application on 16th Oct. Got an inivte for interview on 25th Oct and interviewed on 28th. Don't be worried about getting it in by the recommended deadline. Just make sure you submit it before final deadline.

Hope this helps and good luck to you.

I can't remember them all but a couple were along the lines of:

- Discuss an experience with leadership and what you learned from it (the interviewer reassured me that it was fine if I hadn't led teams at work yet, as many applicants haven't reached that point in their career)
- Discuss a time you worked on a team where there was disagreement
- Discuss a time where you had to convince others to pursue your idea

My interviewer had the official Kellogg interviewer guide in front of him and was clearly just picking questions semi at random, so I wouldn't expect to necessarily get these exact same questions. I prepared a few anecdotes beforehand that I felt highlighted my strengths and that could be used to answer several different questions. The method served me well, so I'd recommend it rather than trying to prepare for every possible question. Best of luck with your interview!

Any non-resident Indians, who have heard from the adcom about an interview??
ANYONE from the Middle East , who has heard something??

I am an Indian living in Germany and got my interview notification last week. Still waiting for the alumni to respond

Did any one resubmit the Video Essay?

Hi there,

Did you receive a response here? Had the same error.

Oh geez. I think Kellogg really needs to scrap the video essay. Clearly, the technical issues haven't been resolved.

I say that even though I think I did well on my video essay. It's not fair to everyone when it's working for some people and not working for others.

I faced the exact same issues. Just heard back from the Adcom that they are re-waiving it and it will not have any negative impact.

Hi xiangxder,
Kellogg sends in the interview waiver notification as well, I had applied last year and received a waiver notification. Post waiver they may conduct a Telephonic/Skype interview (I did not get that either). Without a formal or Telephonic interview it is pretty much a ding. In case you haven't received a notification yet you would definitely get one. Hope you a get an interview invite soon.

Hi tafkas,

Last year two of my colleagues received the interview call on 10/31, the application deadline was almost same, however application procedure was slightly different (Part 1 & Part 2). I received a waiver notification on 11/6

For those who have interviewed, is there notification of a feedback report submitted etc? Or is it all smooth sailing until decisions? Thanks

I had an off-campus interview and it was a very friendly conversation. I learned a lot about Kellogg throughout the interview, but also felt that my interviewer was getting a good perspective about who I am and my skills.

Now the 1.5 month wait that will drive me absolutely insane.

Good luck to everyone!

Same here. I had to wake up till 3 am to receive an e mail from them. they said they will rewaive my video essay portion, not sure it won't negatively affect my candidacy tho....sigh.

definitely. it's not fair. and i hate feeling nervous about whether it will negatively affect my candidacy or not.
