Not much interesting to note. Standard interview questions. Clearly blind … conversational. One thing … many people on the various boards have mentioned this so I assume it’s very common and seems to be important to Kellogg: Be prepared to answer: Will you attend Kellogg if you are accepted … and why. (or something like that). I don’t think it’s a fair question but you have to deal with it. People have suggested that Kellogg is tired of being a Harvard etc. backup. Whether true or not … you might want to focus on how much you want Kellogg.

Note:
I was surprised at this decision, at the same time not very surprised as the interview didn’t go that well for me and I feel that was what possibly drove the decision, the interviewer (2Y MBA Student) was quite out of touch with my pre MBA career field and struggled to understand my response to the interview questions, she had to draw me back a couple of times to understand what I was speaking about, so I can imagine how she was able to make a case for me when she was struggling to understand me.
