Thank you, Kellogg Office of Admissions, for sending me an email about your Super Bowl ad reviews. My heart didn't jump out of my chest when I saw an email from the Office of Admissions or anything like that. FAIL.

Lol. Word!

for interview question like : What is the primary weakness in your application.

What would be an appropriate ans?

while i can certainly bit*h around for things like gmat etc on my app but it is not that bad. my gmat is 700, gpa is 3.9 and age is 28, I have ok WE and ECs. I am having real hard time in contructing a good response to this question.

any suggestions?

I would be honest about what you think is the weakest part of your application. Adcom certainly will be able to pick out weaknesses, especially when compared to the overall strength of the applicant pool, so it's a good opportunity to show that you are mature enough to understand your own strengths and weaknesses.

As for R2 decisions, I think that they will probably start going out in early to mid March.

I applied for round 2. Had my off-campus interview a couple of weeks ago with an alum. She was friendly, but perhaps a bit tired because it was after work. I was just asked the standard questions: walk me through your resume, why Kellogg MBA, why now?, talk about your ECs, etc... Unlike my Tuck interviewer, she did not interrupt to pose any "challenge" questions, so that made it much easier.

Thanks Jerz! My problem is I am being too optimistic to myself, which is making me blind to see any weakness in my application. -J I think I will just go with my gmat ad it is difinetely lower than what i expected and I think its lower than Kellogs avergae.

For blind interview, it is recomended that you carry a copy of your Resume.

What type of paper yall are using to print the resume? just the normal A4 or those fancy thick 'bond' papers? I think the bond paper will look sort of more professional ... any suggestions?

I would use normal, standard cheap white printer/copier paper. Anything else you run the risk of them thinking "who the hell does this guy/girl think he/she is?".

Looks like I have to try to reschedule my interview ... all flights out of DC are pretty much shot from now until who knows when ...

Most definitely not. With any resume you should always put it on the nicer resume paper.

Had my interview yesterday. Standard questions, very likable interviewer, busily took notes on every thing I said. I was thrown off a little bit by the variation of weakness question I got asked.."What would your peers say is your weakness at the job you currently do". And the problem with uber-awesome people like us is that, perhaps sometimes we may not live up to our own standards (heck, I have not even saved Africa from hunger yet), but we don't have our peers going around talking about our weakness.

If my calculations are correct - and if last year's dates are of any indication - Kellogg will probably start sending out R2 decisions in about 2 weeks. Getting really nervous here!

i had my off-campus interview 2 weeks ago, but my status still says "submitted" -- does anyone know if there is any indication of when our interviewer submits feedback?

If it's any consolation, I had my on-campus interview last November, and my status still says "Submitted."
