The Kellogg admissions team shares insights into the interview process for their Full-Time MBA Program. Understanding that interviews can be daunting, they offer several tips for candidates to shine during their conversation:
- Authenticity is Key: Candidates should present their genuine selves. The interview aims to understand the applicant better and gauge how they’d fit into the Kellogg community. It’s also a platform for candidates to understand the Kellogg environment and showcase their communication skills, career focus, motivations, and leadership potential.
- Virtual Interviews: Kellogg conducts all interviews online. Candidates will receive email notifications about their interview status and scheduling details. Due to high demand, some applicants might get an interview waiver. In such cases, if more information is required, the admissions committee will reach out.
- Preparation Tips:
- Consider research-backed methods, like the STAR method, to answer interview questions effectively.
- Rehearse responses to potential questions and strategize how to convey personal and professional stories most efficiently.
- Above all, candidates should let their personalities shine through, setting them apart from the rest.
- Holistic Review Approach: The Kellogg admissions process evaluates applicants in their entirety. While the interview is a vital component, it’s only one part of the bigger picture, focusing on each applicant’s unique strengths and attributes.
For those eyeing a leadership path with Kellogg, it’s advised to complete their application promptly. Additional application advice is available on Kellogg’s admissions website, and prospective students can register for events to interact directly with admissions officers.
