No in case of portal Mine was an alum.. and i did not get her name before

Then this must be the common factor

Yes It can either be an alum or adcom

Cool, wasn't aware about this. It was mentioned in my invite that the interview will be with adcom

Are reason why some interviews are with adcom some alums and some students

Kellogg tries to interview mostly all So they have to leverage help from alums and 2nd years too

It’s random, no reasoning behind who you get
