Just a quick FYI that there's a new blog from Jessica Seymour on interview waivers.

My 0.02$ on interviews/ waivers is that if it will happen .. it will happen .. there is no point on gaming which ever way the adcom will decide...

Good luck to all applicants and hope you get a desired outcome

Hmm...I think Kellogg really does mean it...they do assign waivers randomly in areas of high demand and getting a waiver really isnt a negative sign...they say it so many times over and over in emails, on the phone, on blogs...I'm sure they wdn't just keep giving applicants information that isnt a 100% true...

on that note...any applicants with waivers contacted for a phone interview yet?

I had my interview last week in Evanston. As a JD/MBA I would spend my first and third years in Downtown Chicago at the law school, with the second year up in Evanston at Kellogg. I really fell in love with school! The Jacobs center as a building may not be the nicest one out there, but the way it's built forces constant interaction between students. If you are a social person you will LOVE Kellogg: if you are a wallflower or someone who likes to work independently you will hate this school.

I was invited to TG by a current JD/MBA student who in turn introduced me to several of his classmates. TG is held every Friday and this Friday the Black Management Association put on a Step Show, which was awesome. I love the diversity and culture of the school. The GLMA even throws a drag show every year. Kellogg has a very open and accepting environment in many ways. If diversity bothers you, then Kellogg is probably not the correct choice for you.

With regards to the interview, it was with a part-time member of the Admissions Committee, who was very well trained in the art of interviewing. Expect to be vigorously cross-questioned and be sure to be able to articulate team-oriented experiences. Most my experiences have been leadership-oriented (I'll be 29 at Matriculation), but I tried to recall a few relevant examples of times I enacted change without assuming a leadership role, for which I gave examples from 7 years ago! I usually can find a common thread between myself and the person I am talking to, but in this case it was a textbook formal interview with no noticeable reaction to anything I said, which can make for an awkward feeling. Dependent on your personality and comfort level, student Adcom interviewers can be a better luck of the draw. I have made some atypical choices in my career and personal life and while the students I met at Kellogg loved my story,it was very hard to tell if my interviewer was equally impressed. Best of luck to the rest of you who have yet to conduct their interviews and to those who are eagerly awaiting R2 decisions.

Interviewed last week in Evanston for the full time program. Kellogg like joemahmah (haha) says is a very social school, i went out with a couple students and the everyone i met was very friendly, engaging, interesting and come from amazing backgrounds.

Good observations on the building, obviously it's not as new or as nice as other buildings, but yes it does have a very intimate feel as you're literally brushing shoulders with hundreds of students as you walk the halls and step into the atrium during lunch time.

Also interviewed with an adcom, she was very nice and tried to keep the interview conversational in tone, but as a trained interviewer, i could tell she was trying to zoom in on certain types of experiences, namely leadership, teamwork, and what do you bring to the school. also she asked questions regarding the social aspect of kellogg, what types of clubs etc. in sum, interviews are about gauging fit, however nebulous that seems.

any info on whether the telephonic interview scheduled by the Ad-Com are blind?
I have heard of cases where the Ad-Com was fully aware of the applicant file and also of cases where they conducted blind interviews?

Guptaji, Were you invited for a telephonic interview? Would you mind sharing when you got the invite?

Good Luck!

The one who took my telephonic interview said that she only had my resume with her. It started on the lines of the resume only and then wavered from the template.

What is Kellogg's reputation as far as in the hedge fund community? If I am looking to transition to this field after bschool, would Kellogg be a total waste of my money? Thanks in advance.

On the Kellogg online application, for each employer they have a box titled:
"Responsibilities and reasons for leaving" with 6000 word limit. My resume is really a set of highlights and some smattering of responsibilities.. is it a good idea to just copy and past the relevant sections into this box or give a run of day to day responsibilities.. given the huge word limit?

Thanks

Heya - I would say Hedge Fund relations are weaker than many other finance heavy schools. That said, it is still a difficult area to enter regardless of where you graduate. If you are trying to get into Investment Management and have little experience in this area Kellogg could be a great place to go as there are less people vying for the same positions and so is less competitive in some respects.

Just my 2 cents...

I wouldn't copy and paste from your resume. Since you're already submitting your resume, duplicating info from your resume on the application itself is a wasted opportunity to tell the adcom more about yourself.

Ehh .. You might want to double check that word limit. Is it character limit you are talking about?
Also in these forms, always preview the pdf to see if all the data you entered is getting captured or not.
I remmeber in a couple of applications, the data I'd entered was within the character limit and yet
some part of it would get cut off in the pdf. I had to appropriately prune my answers then.

Hey Everyone,

Has anyone heard back on the R1 Waitlist today? All seems rather quiet so far today and Kellogg's Office of Admissions closes for the day in about an hour...

Keeping my fingers crossed for both of us!
