Need some advice, folks.

I was assigned an alum interviewer on Jan24th for Kellogg, and contacted him the same day. Due to his upcoming international travel, the interviewer tentatively set up the interview for Feb12th, and asked me to get in touch after Feb 8th, when he was flying back to the US, to setup a time/venue etc. Its been 3 days since the 8th, his phone seems to be switched off, and there is no email response. I am wondering if there have been changes to his travel plans and if he might not be here this weekend.

With only 3 days to go until the 21-day Kellogg interview deadline, and with no answer from the alum, I am wondering what to do. I could wait until tomorrow (tentative interview date), but that would mean that if i dont hear from him, and call up the admissions office on Monday....it would be the 21st day since the interview assignment email, and calling up the admissions office then might look odd.

So, the question is, should I wait until Monday, or should I be pro-active and contact the admissions office today to seek another alum assignment?

Thanks

I'd contact admissions asap.

With a lot of alums working in consulting (especially recent grads), its might be possible to have difficulty scheduling interviews. I actually had to reach out to admissions because I travel for work a lot and an interviewee was a consulting and had an equally difficult time setting up time with me. In the end I got admissions to reassign him to another interviewer. I have also been the second person scheduled to interview someone.

It happens, dont stress if you cant get a time to work with a person. Dont pressure them too much about getting it in, be understanding and work to get an agreeable time or reach out to admissions.

So I had my interview yesterday with Adcom member as I think the students were busy with DAK.

One question I wanted to ask you folks is that the adcom gave me a business card in which the email address is the generic mba admission's email ID. Now if I were to send her a thank you note, how do I do it? Would it be better to send her a thank you card at the mailing address or should I pursue admission's office for her email? What do you guys suggest?

Thanks

I mailed thank you cards to all three of my interviewers so far, but I think an email would work provided it was a personal email address and not just "[email protected]."

But in your case a card sent to Mr./Ms. XXXXXX at the main admissions address would be the best bet. Just keep it short, no more than about 3-4 sentences, and try to reference something specific you discussed during the interview--i.e. "thank you for the opportunity to discuss the Kellogg MBA program etc...your comments about club XYZ/Kellogg's culture/career placement opportunities confirmed many of the perceptions that interested me in Kellogg in the first place...thank you and I will keep you updated as to my status."

I'm not sure if an AdCom interview gets filed pretty quickly so it's possible he/she would have already filed his report by the time the card arrives, but it can't hurt. I remember my alum interviewer saying she had a week to submit her writeup, so my card definitely had time to get to her before her deadline.

I don't really know but I'd say that a week before the deadline sounds about right. Less than that would not leave enough time for the adcom to review your application. Maybe R1 applicants have a better answer...

To those who have applied, or are considering applying to the Kellogg Part-Time MBA program: Could you please help me with some information. I am located outside the greater Chicago area (on the West Coast actually), and I plan on applying to the Kellogg Saturday MBA program. I know an interview is required for application. From the web site it appears that an on-campus interview in Chicago is the only kind of interview that is permitted -- there is no option for an off-campus interview. Is this correct? I plan on scheduling a class visit later, but I due to a lot of upcoming travel, I would find it very difficult to travel to Chicago for an interview before the March 18th deadline for Round 1.

Is an off-campus interview possible for part-time applicants? Has anybody done that? What would you suggest I do? (I have lot of information about the program, having interacted with Kellogg part-time alums and having visited the campus informally a couple of years ago).

I am preparing for my R2 interview next week at Kellogg. I see that there are a lot of interview reports on this thread but they are mostly about alumni interviews that were done off-campus.

Can folks who interviewed on the Kellogg campus with the AdCom provide some feedback? From what I have gathered so far, the common questions are:
- Why MBA, why Kellogg
- Walk me through your resume
- Your leadership style

Seems like alumni interviews had a broader range of questions but it's quite possible that my input data for AdCom interview-questions is not broad enough.

Thanks a bunch!!

rg - the part-time program's application process is completely separate from the full-time program, so I'm not sure if there are off-campus interviews. Your best bet is to contact the admissions office and ask them whether you could schedule an interview in your current city.
