Just got a mail about my interview waiver. Expected...

I am an Indian applicant (for those who are trying to find a pattern here).

Which city did you choose for Interview?

Guys - don't read too much into the interview waivers. It's purely a function of interviewer supply and applicant demand and isn't any sort of qualitative comment on your application. There are plenty of people who get admitted after receiving the waiver. If, after reviewing your application, the adcom wants to chat they will set up a phone interview.

Just got my interview assignment.. Any thoughts on proper courtesy for contacting the interviewer? Email or call? If I call, should I wait until after work hours? Any help would be appreciated! I want to contact the Alum today since I got the assignment email yesterday afternoon.

I would call, and call now. Earlier in the day is better. Talking always trumps digital in my mind.

If he isn't there, send a follow up email to let him know you called and would like to touch base about the interview.

Thanks for the advice! Turns out he's going to contact Kellogg to see if there is an easier interview assignment, as I live 2 hours away (or more with traffic from Richmond to DC!)

Had my interview yesterday. Went very well. Excited at my prospects here. Kellogg seems to be a fundamentally nicer place, with more decent people, than HBS or some others.

Chennai ... FYI. @Jerz, thanks for your feedback, I'm more relaxed now.

Good luck, uprightcitizen. Hope you nail it tomorrow!

Well, I had my interview today. It went well, I think. My interviewer was young, recently graduated. One of the first things he said was that he wanted it to be informal. Definitely felt more like a conversation than an interview (I may have asked him as many questions as he asked me).

My job has allowed me enough stories that any situational questions are a breeze, but I do think I could have been stronger with my goals. He mentioned that he was vague about his goals going into school, and I echoed that, saying I felt the same. I think I may have overdone that a bit, but we'll see. Overall, I feel like I did gain someone who wants me to get into the school. And I am confident that the interview didn't hurt my chances. Well, hopefully.

A couple other notes:
-Unlike wiredo, I was not the only one in a suit, haha. My interviewer didn't have one, but a few other people did.
-My interviewer was a 1Y, and that's what I'm applying to. It was incredibly helpful to talk to him about that. I hope Kellogg did that on purpose.
-No questions were "out of the blue" - everything was on ClearAdmit. The only questions that he asked that weren't on there were ones that were conversational or follow-up, which made sense in any conversation.
-I think it's incredibly important to be able to answer "Why Kellogg?" and "Why should Kellogg want me?" - the interview centered on those two ideas. He mentioned he thought it was a two-way interview, me interviewing him on whether Kellogg was a good fit for me, and vice versa. I liked that.
-I got an interview invite to HBS literally right before I left the house this morning. I can honestly say there was nothing that could have boosted my confidence more going into an interview than knowing HBS wanted to interview me, too

A total surprise.
-Good luck everyone who has not had an interview yet!

Does anyone know where the questions are for the letter of recommendations? I can't seem to find the PDF or questions that needs to be answered on the application at all. If you know where it is located can you please post or send me a PM? Thanks

Please add me to R2 btw. Good luck to everyone~

Hey guys,

I'm an international and applied in R1 (before the 24th Sept deadline) but haven't heard from Kellogg on the interview yet. Do you think I should contact the Admissions office? It's already been a month!

Cheers,
