Kellogg Interview

My Kellogg interview went well, i think . I interviewed with the adcom staff member. As this was my first MBA interview, i don't think i started as well as i could have. But overall i had done a lot of research on Kellogg, spoke with their current students, alums etc and was able to bring all that up in the interview. Outside of work, I do some good stuff too. I would say that for the last 70% of the interview i knocked the cover off the ball.

Questions:
  1. She started w/ my resume from my undergrad and all the way to right now.
  2. Goals. I don't think i did a great job in explaining my goals. I just mentioned them briefly, but she wanted more detail and she asked for it. Not sure if she was satisfied by the end. So i think i am going to make sure that my goals are very clearly illustrated in the essays.
  3. Why Kellogg.
  4. Why part time.
  5. Any questions i have.

She did not ask me what would i contribute to Kellogg. I have a lot to contribute to the class. This was the most awaited questions but was never asked. I was in fact tempted to mention it anyways, but i chose not to. If she wanted to know she would have asked and i have done a good job in my essays.

It's a waiting game from here.

I am preparing very hard for Chicago and INSEAD applications now. Chicago interview is monday. Lets see how it goes. It's going to be a big day.

Is this for the sept 08 intake?
If you get into Kellog does that mean Chicago and Insead are bye bye?
