Since the Kellogg interview is blind and not a “make-or-break” part of the application my plan was to be consistent and conservative. Consistent with my essays so that the interviewer and essay-review are not in conflict about my candidacy. Conservative in the sense that the difference between an above-average and stellar interview is not much as far as an admission decision was concerned. So, I played it safe aiming for an above-average interview. I planned on being witty and funny ONLY IF I got a very positive vibe from the interviewer.
