Hey Guys,

I recieved an email today informing me about my interview waiver. I've been worried sick since then, trying to figure out what this means! From my perspective, this is clearly a setback since I'm confident an interview would definitely have helped my cause. :(

My profile:
Technical Mktg, Fortune 500 high-tech. co. - 4 yrs plus exp.
GMAT - 720
Acads - mediocre
Extra-curriculars - no community activities, but heavy conc. in sports

Do let me know your guys thoughts on what the interview waiver might mean.

hi nitin,

Kellogg tries to offer alumni interviews to all the applicants, and hence a large number of applicants would decrease the chances for interviews.
from what has been the trend last year, this should not affect your application in any way, as people who got this waiver still got into kellogg

Re: Kellogg Full-Time MBA 2008 Applicants - 18-10-2007, 11:50 PM

Hello everyone,

I had my alumni interview today. I will be submitting the part-II of the application today.

The interviewer was very very friendly. Here are the questions:
* Tell me about your greatest accomplishment since college.
* Tell me a situation where your opinion was different from others in the team, and the result.
* Tell me a situation when you were part of a Six Sigma team (as I mentioned that in my resume).
* Why MBA?
* What are the short term and long term goals (this was a follow-up for the previous question)?
* Why Kellogg specifically?
* Why now?
* Outside of work activities
* How would your colleagues describe you?
* Any questions for I had (I asked couple of questions and here's where I saw the how much he loved attending Kellogg)

The interview lasted about 45 min. No-stress interview. A pretty satisfactory feeling after the interview as it seemed that the interviewer attended Kellogg for the same reasons that I mentioned during the interview. But hey, that's just how I feel right now. My opinion is that a very good interview might help a "not-very-strong" application.

For people who got interview waiver, there is nothing to worry about. A waiver just means "unavailability of resources" and is not reflective of the application at all.

My profile is:
GMAT: 690
B.Tech: Mechanical Engineering (CGPA: 6.5/10) - IIT Madras
MS: Mechanical Engineering (GPA: 4.0/4.0)
Work-ex: 3 yrs 3 months by Fall 2008.
Job: R&D in Automotive industry, USA.
Extra: Few to my credit (but can't classify them as good/avg/excellent)

Good luck to all applicants.
mba_2008.

@MBA_2008: When did you submit part1 of your app? I'm just wondering if the timing of submission plays a part in scheduling interviews (if they do FCFS even before deadline) or if they schedule only after the part1 deadline.

I submitted my part1 on 3rd Oct.
