Kellogg tries to interview as many MBA candidates as possible. If you are offered an interview, it’s best to go to their campus in Evanston as it signals genuine interest (Kellogg, like all schools, especially cares about *yield* so they want to make sure that if they offer you admission, there’s a good chance you’ll attend -- you can signal this by incurring the cost and time-loss of interviewing in-person) and it guarantees you an in-person interview. If you don’t do an on-campus interview, Kellogg will try to arrange an in-person interview with an alum in your area, but this can be challenging depending on where you live. A skype interview with an AdCom member or student may occur instead if there isn’t an available alum to interview you nearby. Skype interviews can be tricky, especially if you aren’t used to interviewing on camera.
You should practice as much as possible before a potential Skype interview. Ideally, you should do a mock interview with a willing MBA alum, who can simulate the interview as authentically as possible. The Kellogg interviews are super-focused on *fit,* so you should make sure that the interviewer focuses on questions about leadership, collaboration, and WHY KELLOGG as much as possible in his/her questioning. Do a video recording of the interview so you can play it back and catch your mistakes (even things like a messy background, bad/unflattering angle, reflective glasses, etc.). Two sessions like this would probably be good, so that you have one session to catch the low-hanging fruit and then another to catch higher-order mistakes.
