Hi, I also got the phone interview invitation.

Is there any body who knows about the procedure of this phone interview ?
(How long does it take ? What questions ?)

Thanks in advance

Kimj0722,

I had my telephonic interview this week and it lasted for 42 minutes. I was given the opportunity to ask questions in the last 5 minutes. The interviewer started with my undergraduate experience and asked questions based on my resume. Even though the interviewer was an adcom member, she only had access to my resume. The other usual questions like why MBA, why now, and why Kellogg were also asked.

The interviewer was extremely friendly and made me comfortable.

Let me know if you have any other questions.

hey guys! anyone got an interview invite after a waiver from ind? Also any suggestions on what one should do in this period of waiting? Is it advisable to get in touch with the adcom to reinforce our interest in the college?
Show more

Yes, one of our clients from India got an interview invite after initially getting a waiver. You can, in fact, check the interview invite on our blog. However, until you get the invite, there is little you can do and you just have to wait. Any email/phone call, etc without any additional (and substantial) information during this time might just be an irritant for the adcom.

Good luck!

I just found out one of my colleagues was admitted to Kellogg 1-Y program in R1...

Though I applied the 2-Y program, does that mean I have little chance if adcom does not want the similar background again??? :shock: :shock: :shock:

1-Y admissions is different from 2-Y admissions, so the pools are evaluated separately. Do not worry about having a similar background to another candidate. There are a ton of admits that not only work for the same company but also do the same job. I ran into several colleagues at admitted students weekend and we all have similar professional backgrounds. However, all of us have different post MBA goals. It's not like every individual a school admits has to be 100% unique in terms of WE, background, goals, etc.

So calm your nerves and don't over think this. It's not that deep.

Thanks for your clarification. Keep my finger crossed.

BTW: Will the admit call start next next Tue on March 20, one day before the Booth notification date like in R1?

I have no idea. There's not a specific day when calls will definitely start. I doubt the decision notification timing is in any way influenced by Booth's notification date. They just simply tend to coincide. Good luck.

Hi Vibhav,

Thank you. But I think good or bad will it depend on the final result. Profile is 740-5 years start up/digital marketing experience. Interview went okay. Fingers crossed for the final result

It looks like in 2011 calls began two weeks before the decision date for both rounds 1 and 2. In round 2 of this year, calls began only a week before, so who knows.

I know it's finals week this week so to the extent they use students to make the calls, it may be more likely they start next week. That is complete speculation though.

Thanks, that makes sense. Am I correct that in R1 calls started 7 days before the decision deadline in R1 of this year? I'm basing that off of a quick browse through this thread.

There were random/unconfirmed reports of a call or two about 10-12 days prior to the decision deadline. However, the first reported call on GC was the on the 12, 7 days prior to the R1 deadline day.

Hey ss87,

I am a off US (India) based Round 1 admit and as per my knowledge International candidates have only one interview, which is most probably conducted by an alum.

Haven't yet heard of an international candidate giving two interviews yet.

Admit calls are a mixture of both phone and emails, however if your reside in a country where is a significant time difference between their time and urs then the probability is higher of an admit notification via email.

BTW both r equally rewarding ;)
