I just had my interview with a 2Y. I don’t feel that I did very well. I was so sweaty and stressed. I did prep but I don’t think I communicated very well. Hopefully things work out.
- Walk me through your resume?
- Why an MBA now?
- Why Kelley?
- What value do you bring to a team?
- How have you prioritized multiple projects when you were pressed for time?
- How have you dealt with coworkers who didn’t pull their weight on a team project?
- What are your weaknesses?
- What are your post-MBA goals? What industry?
- What other schools have you applied to? Have you been accepted anywhere yet?
- Is there anything that you haven’t shared with me or in your application that you would like to add?

My interview was conducted by a second year. She asked the standard questions - why MBA? Why Kelley? Have you spoken to anyone at Kelley? Why now?
Its blind interview. So you can probably use some of your essay questions
Other questions such as what time of a leader would you say you are. Tell me about a time

I submitted my application on 15th October, pretty much the last day
I got my interview invite on 24th October asking to set up a call.
Based on mutual availability my interview was set on 28th October with Tyler Neal, a current student in their second year.
I was kind of amused to see I have been mapped to Tyler, both of us belonging to the LGBTQIA+ community and my profile being pro-LGBT. I don’t think that’s a coincidence though.
Tyler was friendly throughout and clarified it would be more of a conversation.
I will list out my questions:
1. Introduce yourself so that I may know you better.
2. Why Kelley School of Business?
3. What is your leadership style, and if not a leader than what role would you take?
4. Examples of organizational prowess that you have showed.
5. Community work (LGBT+NGO)
6. Example of a conflict and how you resolved it.
7. If you haven’t mentioned anything through your application or interview yet, please let us know.
8. Any questions that you have for me
The interview lasted about 45 minutes . I was asked to look out for a decision after a month or so.

My interview lasted for 40 minutes. A second-year student took my Kelley interview. My application is pro-LGBT as I belong to the community and I was actually shocked to see my interviewer was mapped based on it - they are the president of Kelley PRIDE and hence a lot of questions were focused on that.
beyond that, there were questions on why this school, what is leadership to you, if not a leader what else?, what discipline you want to pursue? ( I am keen on marketing)- so why marketing? short-term goals, anything you would like to ask them.

I interviewed with a second year student and it went on for about 50 mins.
She introduced herself and we directly dived into the following questions:
1) Tell me something about yourself and walk me through your resume
2) Why MBA
3) Why MBA after consulting
4) Why Kelley
5) Stressful situation faced in a workplace
6) If you have different Tasks of equal priority how will you approach them and why
7) what do you like and dislike about working in a team
Follow up to the above - what would you change about working in a team
8) Any questions for me
The overall experience was good. Towards the end it got more interactive and it felt like a very casual conversation, similar to the one's I've had with other 2nd year students.
Good luck!! Hope this helps!!! :)

I interviewed with a 2nd year FTMBA student. It was very free flowing, casual, & conversational, lasting about an hour. The last 15 minutes were my questions for them. I walked away from the process feeling positive, plus the interviewer's hobbies were similar to mine.
It was over zoom though the adcom asked for my Skype username in the appointment email confirmation. I wore a formal business attire & interviewer was dressed much more casually.
The interviewer told me about themselves, then I answered the usual "walk me through your resume," "Why MBA?" and "Why Kelley" questions, kind of interweaving the lattermost two questions into the resume walkthrough. The most interesting subsequent question pertained to how Kelley is a such collaborative institution, so "what role do I see myself playing in such scenarios?"
