Waiver... then phone interview. (I fumbled a bit but got my points across). It was brief (30min exactly). I was told to wait 4 to 6 weeks for a decision.

I am pretty sure Kellogg reviews apps in order of completion, so I guess the dec 20th decision deadline does not apply to everyone.

Can you share the interview questions and experience here? Also, was the interview taken by an adcom or a current student?

By Adcom, it was pretty basic, it was early morning for her so I guess she was looking to move though her long long list of interviews for the day.

Questions:
1) Career progression from why undergrad to why first job to second etc.. to why mba and why kellogg
(she even said - you do all the talking, I will listen, that is how this interview will go)
(I broke it in 2 parts, started the why mba and why kellogg by prefacing my career goals)
2) what will you contribute to kellogg?
(bit of probing, she asked me to expound on a few points)
3) what kind of leader are you?
4) as an international student do you expect a company to sponsor you visa after you mba?
(toughie but i have faced it b4)
5) what other schools have you applied to and why?
6) anything to add
7) running out of time so only time for one question

Q1 was an all encompassing biggie that took a while, esp. with some of the questions she asked

hope it helps.

all the best to the other applicants, it looks like those who have interviews late have quite a wait (early to mid jan atleast for me)

Probably a bad sign that I've just discovered this forum, yeah?
Can someone tell the AI to add me to the list? Interviewed back in October.
Can anyone commiserate with an architecture guy new to all this madness now wondering if his safety is safe enough?
Holler.

Round 2 applicant here, I just received my interview assignment and will be contacting my reviewer! How exciting... :-D

CyberC1,

I'm interested to know when you submitted part 1 and if you have submitted part 2 yet.

Thanks!

I have not submitted my part 2, and I submitted my part 1 around early October?

Dear Beth,
Please call. My phone is charged and I have an empty office ready to run into to speak to you if I get an 847/224 or "unavailable" phone call. If you accept ~1,000 applicants each year, I estimate 400 or so in R1 which means you have just over 36 calls to make each business day between now and 12/20. I know you're a busy woman and the holidays are very hectic so let's not procrastinate. On my part, I promise to show restraint and refresh my Kellogg status page no more than once an hour. I can't make the same promise about my reaction to seeing a GMAT forum posting anticipating someone else saying they heard news.

Much Love,

I am fairly certain that they don't start calling until a few days preceding the final date (ie 20 Dec). I hear what you're saying and I feel similarly but being anxious from now (7 Dec) is a waste of energy.
