Hello,

I was interviewed today (for the two-year program).

Some insights:

1) The whole interview was in English;

2) It last about 45-50 minutes;

3) The questions were the standard ones: Walkthrough your resume, some specific questions about the resume, Why Kellogg, What are your goals after the MBA, What will you bring to Kellogg;

4) Because during the answers I have broaden my response (talking about other subjects), I believe I had less questions (total of 6 or 7 during the whole interview);

5) My impression about the notes and the report to Kellogg (by the interviewer): it seems is not an evaluation, but just comments about some of the school principles. It was clear to me that, to highlight possible fit, he wrote every time I said something related to Kellogg values.

Best,

Does anyone know what percentage of applicants Kellogg interviews? I’ve heard varying opinions ranging from 25% to someone saying they interview 100% of applicants

I heard from an alum there were applicants who didn’t get interviews in previous years, but sround 80% get interviews.

80% seems about right but it varies by region.

One colleague at work received a waiver. In one of the big northeast cities and now they are not feeling great about Kellogg. Looking back on forums it looks like waivers are not as common in the US as other countries?

I think it’s more common than ppl realize. Most people on here are international so you don’t often hear about domestic waivers but they happen every round.

Hence why I recommend going on campus to interview if at all possible.

80% seems fair accordingly to MBADataGuru (https://www.mbadataguru.com/blog/mba/mba ... t-and-gpa/).

Besides, I heard from an alumni that they aim to interview everyone who apply for the MBA Program.

Not yet. But I'm hoping to. I don't know if this is a good thing or a bad thing either. There's not much that you can put on the application. There's so much I wanted to talk in the interview.
Do you guys think we should mail them and request for an interview?
