When the interview invited started to roll out? I haven’t received it so far

Sure will do that I was unable to answer with clarity on couple of questions. For example, in one of my early stages career example, she went on to ask how did I achieve it exactly step by step. I was unable to recall at the moment because there was no secince behind it and I was just with right dedication and driving team. Tried articulating but have beaten around the bush.

If someone has not received an interview invite so far, is it likely that he will not receive it anymore?

He / she ** ... the mail told me that an interview or a waiver will be given in 6-8 weeks from the deadline Interview invitations are sent on a rolling basis throughout the review process. Interviews may occur up to 6-8 weeks following the application deadline. The timing of your interview is not an indication of your status as a candidate. We do our best to invite as many applicants as possible to interview, but in the event, we do not have interviewer capacity, waivers will be issued which will not negatively impact the review of an application. You will be notified of your assignment or interview waiver via email.

I finally got matched with an interviewer! How did you all set up your interview time? Did you just email the interviewer with some days and times that work for you all? Also, what kind of questions did you get? It’s going to be first interview so I am a bit nervous!!

Did anybody get matched with a 1y student??

I did! It seems a bit flawed tbh

yes! just send out an email to your interviewer. the questions are mostly about your work, why an MBA, why kellogg etc. I was matched with a current student. It's just a conversation. I was so nervous but 5 minutes in I got into the rhythm. You will too!!! All the best:)
