Kellogg MBA Admissions Interview Questions: Round 1/Alumnus/Off-Campus

My interview was, from what I’ve read, a very standard Kellogg interview. The interviewer was friendly and started off with questions about my interest in the school. He probed a bit deeper really trying to get me to articulate why I was interested in the school over others. He then focused on my resume and asked me about the side business that I have been operating aside from my job. I am in banking and so was this alumnus, so he stayed away from asking me questions on my full time job and didn’t ask me anything about my undergraduate experience. He did spend a lot of time on the startup and ask me questions about how I could improve it and then gave me a few propositions and asked me to give my thoughts on them. He ended the interview with a few other questions such as where I’d like to travel to and what some of my greatest experiences have been abroad. The interview lasted for an hour.
