This was a R1 interview, and it took place at a hotel near the Alum’s office. He was extremely friendly.
Questions:
1) Walk me through your resume
2) Why MBA?
3) Why Kellogg?
4) Goals
5) How will you differentiate yourself at Kellogg?
6) A few specific questions about a previous job I held
7) Tell me about a time when you led a team.
8) How will you contribute at Kellogg?
9) Which other schools have you applied to?
For the Why Kellogg question, I happened to mention about how I had reached out to a certain club’s president and the interviewer asked me to mention her name and took a note of it.
Very nice and friendly discussion. All along expected lines.
