I interviewed with Adcom Director. Great guy I must say. Very conversational and light toned conversation. Conversation started with small talk regarding the background music and then we jumped into the interview. 1) Why mba and why now? 2) Follow ups 3) What are the skills that you have gained? 4) Why Kelley (By this time I told how my elder sibling has just graduated from the Kelley FT MBA). So now he knew I know the program inside out and 1-2 follow ups around that. Now no more questions on school research cause he knew. 5) Why this industry? What inspired me? 6) Strength and weaknesses 7) Any apprehension about mba? 8) What motivates you? 9) Follow up around my leadership examples 10) Why US? 11) Follow up around my other skill examples and behavioral questions on that. 12) Questions from him And that was it. Good experience. They are very nice and conversational. No stress testing so relax.

Hi everyone. Had my Skype interview on Tuesday. My interviewer was a 2nd year MBA student named Dan Kempf. He was really enthusiastic and encouraging. The interview was a conversational one and I really enjoyed it a lot. It started with my interest in Football and then moved on to a more professional point of view. I was asked a lot of behavioural questions too. Questions asked were on the lines of. 1. My career goals and how I will achieve them through my MBA. 2. Why USA!? Why Kelley!? 3. My professional career till now. 4. My leadership experiences and how I like to lead a team. 5. Positive Criticisms from supervisors. 6. Ethical dilemma I faced during work. 7. How I work in a team!? 8. Any questions for him. Have my fingers crossed now for the final result. Hope all this information helps.
