Kelley 2012 - Calling All Applicants

Congratulations to everyone admitted. Has anyone got an admit without a single interview ??

Just got dinged.

I am interviewing with Jim on Thursday while he is in san francisco.... hopefully I will crack it lol

P.S. he asked me to have the interview in starbucks in his hotel.... and will bring a red Kelley folder ... (I just want to share this and I have no idea why) LMAO

Meeting him on Tuesday. He's the Director of Admissions, so we need to bring our A games!

You should certainly bring your A-games.

I met Jim a couple months ago and he is a very bright, completely down-to-Earth, super-nice guy. Nothing to worry about.

I was admitted to Kelley just before Christmas. I visited some top-tier schools in Chicago and I found that the difference was that those schools seemed to look for reasons to keep students out, whereas Kelley seemed to look for ways to get you in. They are very inviting and open, and their program can rival that of any b-school. My experience with Kelley won me over, away from those Chicago schools.

Can you let me know his interviewing style? Is this like a super formal/direct interview, or is it more free-flowing kind of informal-ish interview?

I just met him, I didn't interview with him.

I've been waitlisted....at least it wasn't a no!

Hey gablaze23, how's the interview??

Interview was A-OK.

Jim is very down to earth and friendly.

1. He asked about my experiences working for company x and y
2. Specific and follow up questions
3. Greatest strength and weakness
4. Biggest achievement
5. Gave me time to ask questions

Wow, it's good that you get it done. sounds like a typical job interview questions lol. Well, good luck to you and looking forward for your good news

Good luck to you as well!

Done with the interview yesterday with Jim.
As everyone is saying, he is super nice and friendly.
I think I did just alright, nothing to complain about. A lot of laughing and no dead air at all lol.
Back to the interview, it lasts for 45 minutes for me since I arrived early.
Questions that Jim asked:
Why Kelley?
Why MBA?
Why now?
Strengths?
Weakness?
What would you consider giving up while attending?
Working experience?
What your co-worker would say if you are gone?
What you have contribute to your co-worker and the firm?
Anything added?
Q & A section

It's pretty much more than average questions asked. Hope this help the rest of the candidates and good luck to everyone.

Congratulations!

Now comes the waiting game for us.

Folks,

Just received my admissions packet from Kelley today morning with some good news

Hopefully you will get your packets soon!! ATB!!

PS: Thought this will help calm some anxiety levels among possible future batchmates

Congrats! Will you attend the KEW in April?



That sounds great. I think positive interview experience helps waiting not too painful LOL. Wish you my best!

Hey,

Im an international applicant (based out of India) and it would not be feasible for me to attend KEW. Are you attending?
