| Interviews
The
Admissions Committee requires every applicant, both
domestic and international, to request an evaluative
personal interview. Interviews allow candidates to
learn more about Kellogg. The interview is an important
element in evaluating an applicant’s level of
maturity, interpersonal skills, career focus and motivation.
However, the interview is only one criterion used
in the admission decision.
The interview is an independent assessment; therefore,
the application is not reviewed by the interviewer.
Applicants must bring a current résumé
to the interview. All interviews will be conducted
in English.
Alumni interviews
Applicants requesting an off-campus interview will
be notified of their assignment by email after Part
1 of the Kellogg application has been received by
the Office of Admissions. During peak season (November
to March), expect to receive the interview assignment
up to six weeks after the Office of Admissions receives
Part 1 of the application.
Members of the Kellogg School’s
AAO are located in most metropolitan areas around
the world. Candidates interviewing off-campus will
be notified by the Office of Admissions whom to contact
for their alumni interview. Applicants should not
contact alumni directly to request an interview. The
Office of Admissions will make every effort to assign
an alumni interviewer to each candidate. However,
in a few cases of unusually heavy demand or remote
location, we may be unable to meet all requests. In
these instances, candidates will be granted an interview
waiver. Waivers have no negative impact on candidacy,
and many applicants who receive waivers are admitted
to Kellogg every year. The Admissions Committee reserves
the right to contact candidates directly to seek additional
information regarding their candidacy during the application
process. Off-campus interviews are assigned after
the Office of Admissions receives Part 1 of the application.
Candidates will be notified of their assignment via
email.
On-campus interviews
On-campus interviews are conducted
Monday through Friday year-round, and also on Saturdays
from late fall to early spring. On-campus interviews
are typically 30 minutes. Chicago-area applicants
must interview off-campus, but are encouraged to visit
the Kellogg School. Candidates must submit Part 1
prior to calling the Office of Admissions to schedule
an on-campus interview.
