Hi Everyone, needed your valuable input. What are the kind of questions asked in the interview round ? are they technical questions or general questions. If you could share your stories or example of questions asked. I am planning to apply for 2022 intake so your help would mean a lot. Thank you !!

Re: Kellogg Waitlist I had sent an update on the waitlist portal and the AO informed me that it might takes a couple of weeks more before I hear back on anything.

When did you get this response from them? Is this the case for internationals as well?

I am an international candidate, received the response last week. It seems like movement off waitlists will take a few weeks atleast.

Can any admitted student please confirm when the pre term is starting this year?

Homelander94 , what exactly do you mean by pre term?

I was referring to the class start date. If I understand currently before the actual quarter there is an orientation period which they call pre term? Can you please confirm when classes are beginning for the 2Y cohort this fall?

Same as saasgrowth, when I sent an update and asked for timeline, the AO said international students would more or less know the status by early June. The term ’early’ is not quantifiable unfortunately, so make your own guesses!

Here is the academic calendar homelander https://www.kellogg.northwestern.edu/ac ... eterm-2021

Hi guys - anybody send in more than one update? I got a response from the adcom the first time around, but did not get any communication the second time.
