Hi!

I submitted my application on 14th October, one day before the R1 deadline. Should I be worried that I haven't gotten an interview invite yet?

Thanks!

I got an invite last week (as I posted before)

I submitted my app around Oct. 5 or so.

So, maybe they are sorting through them in order of received.

Also they do not have an online scheduling system for the interviews. You email in available times (e.g., Mondays and Tuesday from 10-2) and then they email you back a few days later with an interview date. I'm guessing that would be really hard to organize if they sent out a lot of invites at once. So, maybe they are doing them in small batches.

Don't give up hope!

I got a email with the title "Kelley MBA Application - First Round Update"
"Thank you for your application to the Kelley MBA Program. As we continue to process applications received for our first round, I would like to let you know what to expect next.
While it is not possible to check your status online (and we do not notify applicants when their application is complete), we will contact you if anything is missing or if additional information is needed. If you do not hear from us, you can assume we have the necessary supporting documents.
With respect to interviews, not all candidates will be invited to interview. For those who are invited, an invitation can come at any point in the review process up until shortly before decisions are released.
First round decisions will be released via email in late December. We do not have a specific day that all decisions are released; we often release decisions in small batches over several days.
Thank you again! I appreciate your patience with the admissions process."

has anyone received this? is this a subtle way of saying that we are not going to go ahead with you and will send you a reject later on near the deadline? :(

Hey ddoubleyou How was your interview? When did you submit your application? and what's your overall profile?

The interview went well. It was with a second year student who was very passionate about the program. The questions were typical, why MBA/why now, why Kelley, what do you bring to the program, etc... The one that I wasn't prepared for was "Tell me three things the adcom should know about you." I had a standard "what makes me unique to the program" answer queued up, and I was able to think of a 2nd thing quickly, but I struggled to come up with a third thing off the top of my head. I was finally able to, but it was not my most skillful performance.

I submitted on 10/13, got the invite on 10/21, & interviewed yesterday (10/27).

My profile:

8 years as an enlisted Marine (with Company level operations & training billets)
3.5 years in production operations/strategy with a Big 3 auto company
680 Q41 V42 GMAT
No name undergrad with low GPA (2.7) completed while on active duty
Extracurriculars: President of my unit's NCO Association, Highly involved & running for Chairman of my plant's Managers Network, Co-Captain of my plant's running club.

FROM Kelley MBA Blog: Discovering the Kelley alumni network in Silicon Valley


I traveled to Silicon Valley last week with Kelley's Strategic Finance Academy to visit Intel, Xilinx, and Broadcom. This was Academy Week: five days of exploring our interests (in my group's case, strategic finance in the technology sector) and networking with professionals who could give us real perspective from the field.

We had the opportunity to interact with dozens of Kelley alumni who have built amazing careers at these companies, and I was inspired to hear how the Kelley School influenced their paths when they were in my shoes.


Kyle DeLapp
MBA'16
On our first stop, we visited Intel's Executive Briefing Center and got a hands-on demonstration of the company's cutting edge 3D camera technology. We also toured the Intel Museum and learned how microprocessors are made, as well as the components of their global supply chain. From engineering genius to clean rooms operated by machines, we learned how Intel has capitalized on one of their founders’ groundbreaking law. Today, the driving force of Gordon Moore’s law is in the hands of Kelley alumni.

Our second visit was to Xilinx where CFO and Kelley grad Jon Olson walked us through the responsibilities and realities of an earnings call. We had a glimpse into the C-suite, and we learned about how Xilinx has strategically positioned itself in the niche programmable logic market through sales, operational, and R&D finance.

The final stop on our trip was Broadcom. Two alumni gave our group valuable perspective on what it takes to be successful in the technology sector. Both shared stories of what to expect after MBA life and the importance of making an impact from day one. Today, Kelley alumni at Broadcom are a major asset behind the push for the Internet of Things and its innovative expansion.





When I made the decision to come to Kelley, I was asked over and over why I chose a school in the Midwest. At the time, I had the facts about rankings, global programs, top-notch faculty, and a collaborative culture. However, Academy Week helped me see an incredibly overlooked strength of the Kelley School: its alumni network.

Now, when I am asked why I chose Kelley, my answer will center on how Kelley is shaping the world. I'll stress the significance of its powerful alumni network and the impact and success stories Kelley generates on every continent.
