KSB do not offer Alumni interviews. In fact, all the MBA personal interview at Kelley are conducted by Admission officers and Admission counselors.

• I received my MBA personal interview invitation within 1 week after submitting my application. I had on-campus interview withKelley Adcommember and explained me that it would be fairly conversational
• What was your greatest achievement during your childhood until the beginning of University?
• Can you tell me about one favorable event from your childhood?
• Have you spoken to any Alumni? Have you visited the campus?
• What other schools you have applied to?
• Give me an example where things did not work as planned and what did you do after that?
• Is there anything else you would like the Adcom to know about you?

So, my overall Kelley interview experience was really very good. And for b school MBA interview preparation you may refer above interview questions.

Interview Tips:

Just be authentic. Try to have conversation rather than an interview. You should know why you want to go to Kelley and how you can contribute to the community.

• I had video conference interview on Thursday 19th January. The lady was very warm, friendly and made me feel comfortable during the BA personal interview. Other than usually asked questions likewhy MBA, why now,why Kelleyetc, there were few other interesting questions asked:
• Tell me something about yourself
• Tell me about your parents. What they do and where do they live?
• Tell me something about your school life.
• How would your friends describe you?
• When was the last time you met your college friends?
• Why did you plan to do your Masters degree in Engineering?

Some useful points: Relax during the MBA personal interview. The committee member is trying to know more about you. Read your essays beforehand. Try to explore yourself and your experiences.
