The following Northwestern / Kellogg interview questions and report were submitted to Clear Admit by a Round 1 applicant. Good luck to them!
I met with my interviewer at a coffee shop in the city. As instructed by Kellogg, I emailed him my résumé prior to our meeting. He showed up to the interviewer with a printout of the résumé, which he had already reviewed.
He asked me the following:
- Walk me through your résumé. How did you make the decisions that you did?
- Why do you want an MBA?
- Why do you want an MBA from Kellogg?
- Give me an example of you taking initiative and leading something. How did it go?
- Tell me a story about a time you were on a difficult team.
After going through these questions, my interviewer left thirty minutes for questions. It was fairly open-ended, so I would advise candidates to come prepared with questions.
All in all, it was a positive experience. No oddball questions, all to the point. I appreciated the extra time to deep dive on why my interviewer chose Kellogg, and how it aided his post-MBA career.
