I submitted my part1 on 3rd Oct.

Hello Nitin,

I submitted part-I on September 13th and got the interview assignment on Oct 11th. So, I think it takes some time (the website says it might take upto 6 weeks) after you submit your part-I.

Hey Nitin,
I submitted my app on Oct 4th and needless to say- got a waiver for the request. I think that early birds got interview requests and as there are quite a few indian applicants - the adCom finds it hard to entertain all of us with a personal interview.
Moreover, I did look forward to an interview, but hope that it doesn't affect the application decision.

Hello all!

I have a Kellogg alum. interview in Chicago possibly on Nov. 9th. Looking forward to it. We have exchanged a few emails and talked on the phone so far- he seems like a nice guy.(He even thanked me for sending my resume!)
He wants an interview in a formal setting (at his office) and is looking at approx. 1 hour interview.
Lets' see how it goes.

Hi Guys,

I am planning to apply to Kellogg in Round2.
Apart from submitting the online form, do we need to courier them any additional documents? (Transcripts, Degree Certificate et al..)
Folks who have already applied, please help out!!

Hi,

I am an Indian IT female applicant. GMAT score 700, 5 yrs experience

I had applied to Kellogg in R1. Though initially I got an interview waiver ( lack of resources), today I got an email asking me to call up the admission office to schedule a telephonic interview!

This was totally unexpected. Anybody else who has had the same experience?

Tweety,

Consider this as a good sign. During my campus visit last week, I spoke to a current student (MMM program) who had the same experience. What he mentioned was that due to heavy application load, they may waive the interview for some people. When they review the file, they feel that the applicant needs to be interviewed. Obviously, this worked for the MMM guy I talked to, so good luck with your interview!

btw- I just got my online status as "application complete". It states that my file will be sent for a review once my interview has been completed. I also read on the BW forums that Kellogg may start releasing admits as early as end of November (I hope this is true!!). So try to schedule your interview ASAP. Monday and Friday are busy days for Kellogg (just called up their office because they needed some info;and the recorded message told me this - thought I would share). , so try to schedule a Tuesday or Wednesday. I would opt for a Wednesday as there are no classes on Wed- maybe an ad. com. student might be able to interview (not that it makes a difference, just increases the chances of an earlier interview).

And DO share your interview experience

Good luck

mba_2008,

Did you have your Kellogg interview already? How did it go?

jawaharnr and others who are applying for r2: note that the file upload size is limited. one of my transcripts (from my UG studies - 7 pages) was 1.5 MB and it did not get uploaded correctly. I received an email today that my application was incomplete. When I called the ad. com. office, I spoke with an officer and I emailed her my transcripts. Ten minutes later, she replied saying my application was complete.

Bottomline: keep the filesize small!
