Hi All,
R2 applicant here. I was wondering if anyone has had an off-campus interview yet in Massachusetts? If so, when were you contacted?

Thanks!

Apparently they still haven't confirmed receiving my entire application:

"We have received Part I of application.

After Part II of your application has been submitted and reviewed..."

Mine has similar status.I asked the office when i interviewed on campus last week and they told me to give another 10-15 days for the whole app to go complete.

I applied in Round 2 and had my interview in December. On the ApplyYourSelf page, I see "Submission Status: Submitted" for both Part 1 and Part 2.

On the status check webpage, I see this:
"All the required elements of your application are complete.
If your interview has been completed, the application has been submitted for review to the admissions committee. If your interview has not been conducted, the application will be submitted to the admissions committee upon completion of the interview. The next status check update will be the admission decision (Admit, Waitlist or Deny). When a decision has been rendered, the Office of Admissions will send you an email notifying you to check your status for your decision. Decisions will be released throughout the round, but the majority of decisions will be released during the last several weeks of the round."

Although I did get a "you're welcome" reply from my interviewer, I haven't received a confirmation that my interviewer gave her report to Kellogg (I'm assuming she did). Are we supposed to see something else besides "Submission Status: Submitted" on the ApplyYourself website?

Had my interview with an alum... lasted an hour.

Standard questions, was an engaging conversation, one of the best i have had with any alum

List of question asked

1. Walk me through your resume?
2. What kind of leadership experiences I have?
3. Why MBA Why Kellogg?
4. How will you contribute to the Kellogg community.

There was no much cross questioning but a lot of addition from the alum on the points I expressed i liked about Kellogg, sounded more like an acknowledgment and then his own take on it.(this was the best part as i learned more about the school). He did ask me to keep him posted on my decision from the school.

Overall a good experience and all eyes on the result now. fingers crossed!

Any round 2 interview waivers waived so far ????

I think there's been 1 or 2 clubbers who've been invited after getting a waiver initially. No such luck for me yet!

Yep..I'm one of them..

Got a waiver initially and then got a mail on Sat (29th Jan) asking me to schedule a phone interview for Tue (1st Feb)..

The interview was with a lady from the AdCom..30 min interview with all expected questions -

1. What kind of college have you attended?
2. Walk me through your resume and tell me the highlights.
3. A long open ended question...Why Kellogg? Why MBA and why at this stage? Long term & short term goals etc...

The first three que. took abt 20 mins..After that it was just a casual chat regarding Chicago since I mentioned during the interview that I had worked in Chicago for close to two years..

In the last 5 mins she asked if I wanted to add anything that we had not already discussed and I used that time to discuss my extracurricular activities..

That's it! It was quite friendly & casual. Reading the Clear Admit wiki really helped me be prepared..

Awaiting the results now!!

Submitted for R2, on campus. I called Kellogg regarding scheduling my on-campus interview last week and it's all set.

Just to clarify -- All applicants for R2 on-campus interview MUST schedule an interview, correct? I received numerous email reminders about scheduling so I assume everyone had to do it.

Thanks.

I believe that the interviewer will then submit his/her report to Kellogg. There should be no further action from the applicant.
(Someone please correct me if I am wrong)

I haven't gotten any specific notification from Kellogg, but my interviewer confirmed that she submitted the summary.

My interview:

I met with the alum at a Coffee-shop on a Saturday morning. He was a young alum (09) and was already in the coffee shop though I was fifteen minutes early. He swung by right on time and joined me on my table. After some quick casual chat about the city, he said it was really informal, he wanted to make it quick and easy and just learn of why I wanted to attend Kellogg. He was extremely disarming and did not even crack open my resume since I'd sent it the previous night. My pad-folio stayed shut and we just spoke. Interview was about forty minutes though formal questions was just 30 mins. (note: my interviewer was a consultant and his style was very unique - well worded questions with very interesting open ended structure)

[list=]Tell me about yourself.
What was your (current) employer like
Why the career shift/path thus far
How has your role / leadership / work experience changed across the years
Has seniority led to anything unique in experience/learning?
Why MBA, Why Now?
Why Kellogg among all schools?
What do you want to do at Kellogg and what do you want to be your legacy?
What kind of leaders do you not enjoy working with/for
When have you had to change leadership style/approach?
GMAT + application + transcript says something about you - what is missing that you would like to add?
Questions?
[/list]
I asked about his most memorable experience of Kellogg & also how he felt about entrepreneurship (Since he expressed interest in E, but longer term). That evolved into a 10 minute conversation deep-dive on how b-schools are structured - typical consulting type analysis and we resonated a bit. Time will tell if that leads to an admit!
