"The interviewer was a member of the admissions committee who was incredibly kind. With no small talk, she immediately explained the process. The interview was quite friendly but in a way like talking to a professor. She broke up the questions into many pieces to get quick responses.
1) Go over your college history and why you chose your major
2) Tell me about why you went to X industry right after college
3) Tell me about how you progressed at Y company in terms of your responsibilities and roles
4) Why did you quit Y company?
5) Tell me about your own startup
6) How did you find these clients?
7) What skills did your career experience help you gain?
8) Tell me about the most diverse team you worked with
9) How did you collaborate with these diverse people?
10) How would the people you work with describe you?
11) Could you compare how you were like as a leader in college and how you are as a leader now?
12) What’s changed?
13) What are your goals and why Kellogg?
14) (Because I spoke about Z club) any other clubs you are interested in?
15) Do you have a backup plan if your current plan doesn’t pan out, a plan B?
16) Do you have anything to add?
There were a few more follow-up questions I cannot recall unfortunately."
