I had my interview at the Weiboldt hall with an adcom member today. I reached pretty early because I had arrived by train and had a lot of time to pass. Spent that time reading magazines, reading about Kellogg on the website, walking through the hallways at level 1 and 2 (Mez), eating food at the cafe on the 3rd floor etc.
Sharply at 2pm, Joanne picked me up from the lobby into her office, on the way we talked about weather and small chitchat. The interview was blind, and all the questions she asked were standard fare, and everything as I was expecting. I do not remember the order, but they were...
1. Question about undergrad choices
2. Career progression from undergrad till now ( Walk me through your resume?)
3. What do you like about your current job? Why current employer?
4. Do you manage a team? Team size?
5. What is your leadership style?
6. Describe a situation where I brought a change?
7. Describe a situation where I led an initiative?
8. Describe a challenging situation where I failed?
9. What do I do for fun?
10. Why MBA? Why Kellogg?
11. What is my LTG?
12. How would you contribute to Kellogg?
13. Any questions for the adcom? ( I asked a bunch of questions regarding business schools competing amongst themselves for ranking and brand name, etc...also asked about development of new courses around big data etc., asked about kellogg being stereotyped as a Marketing focused school and what the school is doing to break that impression....)
She was taking a lot of notes and was pretty poker-faced although lighted up and smiled a bit once or twice, as far as I remember. It lasted for 42 minutes to be exact.
I feel that I have a 50/50 chance as with any interview, I was pretty confident going in, and was able to mask my nervousness throughout.
Finger's crossed...
