具体的面试过程是这样的，12月提交的申请，很快收到学校的Interview Invitation，说可以选telephone, vedio面试，我倾向于face to face的，在网上也查到James几乎每年会来，就和对方商量看是否可以安排到下一轮等招生委员会的人来的时候面试，对方很快回复说可以，约到2月9日。因为我大多数学校都是第一轮申请，其实2月9日已经拿到了其他的offer，所以面试的时候不是太紧张，比较放松。
这次还是James来，上海希尔顿酒店早上8点00分，非常早。比较常规，我能回忆起来的问题如下：


Why MBA now?我说可以给你花张图吗？他一怔，说为什么，我于是只能开始blabla说自己的长短期目标。。。感觉说的好费劲，因为头绪比较多。

Why Kelley? 我说之前公司有一个KELLEY毕业的同事，blabla，我很惊奇的发现我现在的公司居然在Kelley的recruiter list上，因为目前公司比较偏科技，很专业，比较小，后来又讨论了很久Kelley的天气。。。

Tell me about the tough person you handled, 这个我觉得回答的一般，还不是太深入。

What is the part you like most about you current job...我就把leadership那个例子又深入讲了一下，着重讲对行业的innovative Impact。

Your contribution. 这个和Essay几乎一样。

Your favorite travel destination? 我说我喜欢日本，因为非常崇尚自然，规范，有秩序，他也表示赞同，其实我没去过太多国家，大多数在亚洲。。。

Any Question？我很直接的问了在目前的经济环境下Kelley的location对找工作的影响大不大，还问国际学生找工作的情况如何？我后来觉得可能有些太DIRECT，心想虽然 我很想知道，但是估计有些offensive.

其他的记得不多了。面试共持续了45分钟左右，后来他也没有告诉我什么时候出结果，我当时感觉很一般，觉得可能没戏了，后来太忙也忘记写thanks letter，没想到能拿到录取，确实没想到。

个人感觉，top 20的学校我觉得Kelley可能是最不看重GMAT分数的。

In @ Kelley and Johns Hopkins
Will receive mail including information regarding scholarship offer within two weeks…
应版主大人要求, 我把Kelley的面经提供如下, 只是我是在一月中James亚洲行时面的, 时间有些久了大概都忘了…真的不好意思, 我用力回忆了一下, 整个面试过程真的不像在面试像在闲聊, 气氛真的很轻松, 我还开了James小玩笑, 说他本人比网上那张照片年轻多了应该换张照片….那张照片选得不好….因为我是航空业, 他就聊到说他从首尔搭机到台北时在机上的奇遇, 一个醉汉怎么怎么了….然后面到一半一对新郎新娘从他背后出现, 我们又扯开了话题, 我们还跟那对新人挥手, 我说我们会被那摄录机拍进去耶…..他说我们等下去跟那个录像的要带子…..我们就这样哈哈笑了好几回, 真的我服了James先生,不知他是否故意营造easy环境, 这样才容易看出一个人的不设防本性, 至少有些心理学理论是这样认为的…..面试的目的不就是要看穿,要透彻一个人吗?James温和有礼亲切真诚的态度很容易让人在不紧张的状态下说出自己内心的想法….好了….不废话了,下面是一点点面经:

Why MBA?
Why now?
Why Kelley?
What do you expect to learn from Kelley School of Business?
What’s the most challenging thing in your work?
How do you solve it? What makes the best teamwork environment?
Any questions about Kelley program?


<Johns Hopkins> …不知是怎的,我没面试就直接录取了….

Interview @ Kelley's Campus

首先，告訴大家問了什麼問題. 否則，我會忘記.  我花了很多時間準備這次interview. 我知道我做得很好!! Interview了40 分鐘.  通常的時間為30分鐘.  The assistant director of admission interviewed 我.  The Campus is 非常大. 學校有車去機場, 機場也有車直接去學校 - 很方便. 學校裡面有小規模hotel, 我在那裡一晚.  下一站 UNC and Georgetown!!
1) Tell me something about yourself.

2) Why MBA

3) Why Kelley

4) Example of leadership at work and some challenges you faced

5) What motivates you (She asked "What makes you tick")

6) What is your boss going to say about you?

7) What do your friends say about you?

8) What bothers you?

9) Any question for Kelley?

Forgot one more -> What is your great achievement in your career?

720/103, 6WE /industrial real estate SOE (3 finacial analysis, 3internal auditing /leadership experience)

实在意外，因为面试实在太曲折了。先是网络视频，看到一美国2年级同学，不是adcom的，心凉了一半，网速卡得厉害，只好作罢，要求改电话。没想到竟然碰到了一印度哥们，那口音啊真叫我绝望啊，他还喜欢讲一堆过渡性的话，我的听力水平让我怀疑是不是英文，有的问题我p了三遍都不确定,  面完就开始一顿诅咒。最后竟然让我过了。。。看来这位印度仁兄没有因为这些而影响对我评价

大家还是要有信心吧，祝各位好运

Kelley是视频面试，挺先进的，一个男生面试的，人很好。

问了几个问题：

Why MBA?

Why Kelley?

Tough thing in your job?

pround achievement?

what are two aspects you need to improve?

How to persuade your teamworker?

post-graduation goal?

我也面了，问题差不多， 好像还有个failed leadership example的问题

我是3月1号交的申请，今天收到Kelley的电话面试邀请，安排的面试时间只有20分钟。

感觉这个时间是不是有些太短了？大家的面试都进行了多长时间啊？

这么短的面试时间意味着什么呢？

另外要和我面试的是Brad Rosenwinkel (Associate Director of Admissions – MBA Program)，关于他和面试的问题，大家有什么建议吗？

多谢大家了！

I was interviewed by phone in early Feb, still waiting for the decision now. (What a torture!) About phone interview, it really lasted in a very short time(in my case: 25min.) But the questions were quite typical, such as Why Kelley? Career goal? Leadership?..... Normally, the phone interviewer will be the second-year student, not the admissions commitee. My interviewer was an Indian male I guessed, so be aware that sometimes the interviewer might have accent. Just be prepared, keep the confidence! 加油!

[原创]IU Kelley面经

上午10:25, 希尔顿二楼沙发，一共25分钟。

算算已经是第三次见到亲切的James了，依然很nice. 运气比较好James问的基本都是传统的问题。谢谢前面贡献面经的CDer.

1) Why MBA?

2) Why Kelley?

3) Tell me about your job in xxx

4) Greatest achievement in career

5) How does your colleague say about you?

6) What kind of team do you like to work with?

7) What do you do in spare time?

8) Anything that you would like to know about Kelley?

注意事项

a）一定要控制语速。我一开始有点紧张，后面又太兴奋，结果越说越快，旁人就看到James面对着一把大喷壶，不停的记啊记。面完才意识到James似乎从来没有打断过我，感激中。不过不排除我就没给过他打断的机会。

b）要提前点到。通常我们的思维是面试的点可能会比计划晚些。但实际是约的时间10:30，10:20James就下来了，10:25分正式开始。他说自己习惯严格控制时间，这样计划不会被搞得面目全非。顺便恭维了下James, 呵呵。

c）好像James一直拿着俺的简历。建议把简历中可能问到的地方先mock一下，James就提了一个问题见3)

再补充一个问题

9) How do your friends think about your decison for MBA?

我应该是第一个，八点十五，我七点三刻就到了。等了好久。James确实是提早五分钟下来的。太早了，我都不是很清醒，感觉james也不是很在状态。到最后他要我问问题的时候，我本来准备了两个问题，问了一个，第二个怎么也想不起来了，就跟他说，我还有一个问题，但是我现在想不起来了，我回去给你发email问你吧。 -_- 汗啊

哈哈，我也来报到一下。我应该是第三个，跟第一个一样，我是拼命地说，基本上没给james啥机会。

另外，最后问问题的时候，我跟500cc一样，只问了两个关于学校的问题，然后james觉得这人怎么什么学费、financial aid啥也不问呀，只好跟我说：i believe u will have much more questions later, u can write email to me in future.

嗬嗬，大家可以保持联系哟！希望都能听到好消息！

我今天去面了一下，On campus的，说不上面试的好不好。把面经发上来攒个rp吧。

自己准备过的问题严格说只用上一个，就是why kelley

上来就让我介绍自己，问我现在干什么。结果我现在做什么还没说完，就问我为什么做这个，是个什么样的组织

然后就问我why kelley了

在下来就是leadership style

针对我简历中的东西问了一些问题，就是工作上的challenge之类的

还有就是，如果要你组织一个team，作为team leader，你选什么样的人，为什么。作为team member，你能为team做什么。

面试时间控制的还比较严格。我也问了几个问题，得到的一个坏消息就是，今年kelley打断把international students的比例控制在35%，也就是说比往年要减少了一些。

2.21 Kelley (iu) Shanghai 积攒RP

kelley IU 面经

q3: working experience
q4: how to build a successful team
q5: what can you contribute to kelley
q6: what will you learn from your kelley classmates

q1: what are your strengths?

q2: There's much teamwork in MBA. How can you work well with your teammates? What do you expect to learn from your teammates?

q3: How did your Chinese New Year?

q4: Have you ever worked or travelled outside China?

只面了20分钟就结束，估计做炮灰了，好几个问题准备了1,2,3点，结果刚回答了第一个就被老J同志温柔的打断。

这么短的时间里，居然还和他讨论了一会昨天espn转播的IU vs Purdue的NCAA比赛，sigh...

did the interview in the afternoon, my questions:

1.       What you are interested in? Why?

2.       Short term career goal

3.       Long term career goal

4.       Why Kelley?

5.       What you felt most proud for?

6.       How your colleagues evaluate you?

7.       What’s your motivation to work hard?

8.       What do you think your teammates in Kelley will learn from you?

9.       What do you learn from Kelley?

10.   Any questions?

Timothy Smith面的，人非常nice。有2个感觉没有回答太好，他也觉得不算太满意的也礼貌性地说good。

问题如下：

why MBA
why Kelley
what is the good thing about working in a team?
What is my understanding about leadership?
what is the toughest thing in job?
My short term career goal?
Why did I end up in my current master's program?
what did I learn in my undergraduate study?
what do you like to do in your spare time?
Tell him something about communitity experience（the one I wrote in the resume)
What do I think I can contribute to the program?
Is my characteristic affected by my family? (because I memtioned a little bit about my family and my characteristic built in early life)
Questions about kelley.
写信问他奖学金的事情就没有回复了：（，估计我又激进了，我问的是他们免学费的情况。因为以前有师姐拿的也是免学费，所以就问了。表示一下自己的期望值。如果期望值太高是否会让人觉得你判断力缺乏而反之对你印象不好呢？

我Notre Dame当初也是问人家能否给我免学费，结果后来人家也就没有回复我了。最后只给了我2万的奖学金，555。

Kelley 热腾腾的冒着气的面经

星期一早九点，北京Hilton，面试官James

早到了二十分钟，八点五十的时候看到一个带着眼睛的高大老外手拿一本很明显的Indiana University的红色文件夹出现在前台。过去打招呼，寒暄。

切入正题：

Why MBA?
Why Kelley
Contribute to MBA（哥们这个问题发挥多了，准备了三点，前两点说的太多，最后一点没来得及说）
What will your collegues describe you?
Your leadership style?
What is the good thing about working in a team?
Your hobby?（J说IU的football不是很好，basketball还可以）
Any other things admissions committe should know?
What's your questions about kelley?
面试完正好30分钟。另外，J拿着印好了的纸，一边听一边写。偷看了几眼，上面是面试题目，格式化的，由此可见不会有什么很出格的问题（除非他心情不好）。J是一个很和蔼的人，我觉得很像和一般的老外聊天，所以没有必要紧张。最后J表示很高兴听我讲了精彩的故事，如果我有什么问题请及时和他联系。告别，走人。

整体感觉好好吧，发挥了85%。下面就看运气了。祝各位好运。

Kelley interview sharing

phone interview, 30 minutes




1. Why MBA
2. Why School
3. The most tough thing in job
4. Work in a team, what will others describe you
5. What personality is most difficult to handle in a group
6. Recommend a person to our program

Kelley 面试归来，面试题目如下：大部分都是借前人经验，少部分是没遇到过的。

1.    Why MBA?（只说了一半就被温和地打断）

2.     Why Kelley?



3.     Short-term and long-term goal?



4.     What is your quality bringing to the team?



5.     Team work experience?



6.     How did you resolve conflicts in your team?

7.     What do you think the ideal working environment if you are a team leader?



8.  When you are facing projects with same priority, what will you do?



9.  What if you have to make a decision but without enough information?



10.  Your leadership style?



11.    What is the good thing about working in a team?



12.  
        What would your boss say about your strength and describe it in two words.



13.  What's your concern on pursuing an MBA program?（you weakness in your application ）

14.     What are your questions about kelley?


15.     Any other things admissions committee should know?



16作为一个团队成员，假如你发现你的团队正在进行的项目有错误，你该怎么办？


16作为一个团队成员，假如你发现你的团队正在进行的项目有错误，你该怎么办？
17你最佩服你们公司的哪类或哪个员工？

18你觉得你们公司的现状中还有什么需要改进的？


    问题虽多，但都是简单回答，所以一共就花了40分钟，面试官很nice和professional，甚至非常绅士。面试中，我听不清楚的地方都会重复，所以消除了我的紧张情绪。我在面试时尽量保持微笑，说得比较慢一点（他会仔细记录），自己觉得重要或得意的地方我就尽量加重语气，便于他倾听和记录，呵呵～～临到我问他问题时，本来准备了三个，最后一个死活想不起来了，所以就只问了两个，他回答也比较短，还一再问我有没有更多问题了，所以大家可以多准备几个问题问对方，显得仔细研究过这个学校。临走前，主动给了我名片，告诉我有任何问题都可以和他联系，小秘给了我纪念品，让我填写面试意见表，让我感觉还是他们的工作做得还是比较细致。


    看了很多前人写的Kelley的面试经历，再结合自己的亲身体验，发现这个学校很注重团队方面的问题，大家可以重点准备一下。不过估计我是面试得很晚的了，不知能否对大家有帮助。


    亲自到Indiana University看过后，感觉这是个很漂亮的学校，学生很多，充满活力和青春气息，商学院很气派，一看就知道是最有钱的。只是去学校之路，让我深深领会了美国中部大农村的风采，我甚至觉得不象是去面试，而是要去打猎，呵呵～～喜欢大城市精彩生活的朋友可能要失望了，但我相信因为现在是冬天，所以景致稍差，其他季节风景一定是很优美的，这个安静美丽的地方还是很适合学生生活的。


    无论如何，面试结束了，可以睡个好觉。我今天还同时收到了Purdue的admission，一年的辛苦终于开始有了收获，很开心。

    谢谢大家的经验分享，让我走过这充满泪水与欢笑的申请之路，也祝福大家好运！

[分享]Just back from Kelley interview in Beijing

I guess I am the first one to be interviewed today because my time is 8:00 a.m! So early.



That's probably because I replied their interview invitation letter too quickly



Because I arrived early, my interview started ten minutes earlier and lasted for about 40



minutes. James Holmen is a nice person, so the atmosphere was good.



Questions I can remember:

1.why mba?
2.why kelley?
3.your contribution to kelley?
4.what's the best part of your work?
5.If you can make a change to your work, what is it?
6.what will your collegues describe you? more examples for your strengh?
7.what's your hobbies?
8.do you have any concerns about going back to school to pursue mba?
9.any other things admissions committe should know?
10.what's your questions about kelley?



My advices:
1. be familiar with what you talk. You may be asked some details.
2. try to communicate with interviewer, not just answer questions.
3. prepare more examples for every point because interviewer may want to listen more than one examples.
4. prepare more questions to ask interviewer. I just prepared two and because I had many time left, I have to think of more questions on the spot.
Good luck to everyone.

I submitted it on Jan. 12.



I know Kelley admitted some Chinese students without interview before, but I don't know what's their policy this year. Anyway, since they didn't say interview is a must, you have chance to be admitted directly Good luck!



I think you may write a letter to them to check your status of completeness. In the letter, you'd better also talk about your strengh and show your interest to Kelley. If you have any recent progress(work or life), tell them too.

R2. Got invitation on Jan. 23.



"We have three options available.  I will be traveling to Shanghai (February 13), Beijing (February 15), Taipei (February 17), Seoul (February 20-21) and Tokyo (February 23-24) to conduct interviews. If you are not able to meet with me during my trip to Asia, we invite you to schedule a phone interview with a member of the admissions committee.  Of course you are also welcome to make a trip to Bloomington for an on-campus interview."

[原创]kelley and smith interview experience

昨天刚刚在上海面完，写下来希望给大家有点用。



kelley的james非常亲切，问的题目也都很老套。why mba ,why kelley, decrible yourself, your value, etc.15分钟不到就开始让我提问。我没有准备那么多问题，他居然非要和我聊聊天，说时间还早。我只好硬着头皮继续找词。这是我所没有预料到的内容。问我怎么过年，问我是否去过美国，觉得美国怎么样，平时都去那里玩耍，等等。



他说去年的大陆学生少了，很多是签证原因。他们和大使馆交流过，今天会扩大大陆的招生。



smith的面试就比较formal了，sabrina一直在challenge，虽然表情温和。而且题目比较随意。除了典型的any other schools, why smith, what is your challenge when u graduate from smith，还有很多具体的个人问题。尤其针对了简历。比如你如何管理自己的资产，比如身为女性，你有什么concern,甚至还有当场的模拟presentation。不过由于我问了大量的问题，把时间盖过去了。大概45分钟结束的。



emory的面试结束后，我就知道自己败了。这两家我看不出来任何信息。因为自己做了很多准备，所以回答得比较流利。但是面试中总归要暴露自己的弱点的，这个藏不住。比如年轻，不老练等等。不管怎样，终于可以走到等待着一关了。



祝大家顺利！

面试经历—IU Kelley School of Business

教授几天前就给我email问我什么时候有时间，我email他说今天下午2-6点都可以。这个就是问题所在了，我没有和他确定一个确切时间，结果我从2点开始等……这就为这次失败的面试埋下了伏笔。。。

等了将近4个小时以后（我已然快疯了），终于看到教授给我写了一email，说电话打不通，于是我赶紧回了一个，又给他写了一遍我的telephone number。终于，将近6点的时候，电话响了。



开始是简单寒暄，然后介绍说有3个教授一起面试我。有几个问题，同时给我时间问他们几个关于program的问题。我尽量回忆了整个过程~~

Prof. (P)   Me (M)

P: What are your research interests currently?

M: 因为准备好了，就照着念~~结果速度没掌握好，说的太快了……

P: What makes you believe that you are interested in this area? Have you learnt any courses related with it?

M: I told them I chose a marketing related course during my master’s
study and my working experience was related with the topic…

P: Have you read the attached file in my email containing the research
interests of all the faulty members? Do you have any idea about which
one you want to be your supervisor?

M: …..

P: Do you have any deadline limits?

M: You mean the results from other uni?

P: yes.

M: (told them my status…)

P: Okay, do you have any question？

M: I am interested in your minor system, would you please briefly introduce it to me?

P: Sure. blah blah ….

M: I would like to choose psychology as my minor if I was admitted… The minor system in IU is very attractive to me.

P: (change to the German accent prof): Then tell me why you think you
wanna study psychology as your minor. I thought you want to be a
modeler based on econometrics models. Is there any connection between
psychology and modeling?

M: (Faint a million times, never prep a question like this) Em, I am
currently doing is that…. And I believe it is important to know the …
from psychological point of view…

P: (still the German prof): Then tell me which area of psychology are you interested in? A or B or C or D?

M: (I have no idea about the ABCD he mentioned, so I have to repeat
what I just said in the last question, sigh…totally failed at this
point)

M: When could I complete my PhD study if I was admitted?

P: Our structure is designed for 4 years, however, normally 5 years. Do
not worry about scholarship, we will offer 5 year scholarships for
every PhD student…

M: I C. Another question, When can I get the formal result?

P: mid next week. We will give out offers before spring vacation. 3 positions for this year.

M: Thank you very much.

P: Please email me if you have any document to add or question you want
to ask me. Let’s keep the connection channel between us open.

M: Sure. I contacted with … and they would like to be reference for me as well, so can I let them email you…

P: Sure, please let them do so! Any we also want to read your working
paper as well, please send it as a attachment file to me and I will
hand it into the committee.

M: No problem for that. Thank you!

P: Great to talk with you. Thanks for your time!

M: Thanks for calling me! 88

That’s all…

分享我的IU面试经验

今天早上到早了，一位GG正在那里和james比划，我枯坐在那里等，忽然一位金发美女MM上前与我搭话，开始还以为是james的助手，聊起来发现是希尔顿饭店的大堂经理。这位MM和我探讨了在国内外读MBA的利弊，并且诚挚地推荐我去读中欧，而且对它的排名变迁比我都清楚--算是面试前的warm up吧。

然后和jame holmen 作了面试，他问了大概6-7个问题，基本上是iris2005提到过的。真是感谢iris2005！我连比划带说的，讲了20多分钟，讲到口吐白沫。因为回答比较长，所以他问的问题比较少。自我感觉还可以，有一定的互动。IU的申友好好准备吧！

剛做完Kelley的面試
馬上趕緊奉上熱騰騰面試題目~~~

大體上一樣,不過有點不一樣的題目...

1.Why MBA?
2.Why Kelley?
3.Short-term and long-term goal?
4.What is your quality bringing to the team?
5.Team work experience?
6.What do you think the ideal working environment is?
7.When you are facing projects with same priority, what will you do?
8.What if you have to make a decision but without enough information?
9.Your leadership style?
10.What will be the most challenging part when working in a team?
11.What is the good thing about working in a team?
12.If you encounter problems in a team, what will you do?
13.What will your boss describe you? Give me two words


我的天啊,我想我大概是被問到問題最多的吧,都快瘋掉了,一直想30分鐘怎麼這麼慢!!!
不知道是不是我的回答太少還是緊張就講太快,他就一直ok..恩哼......然後繼續問下一個...
緊張爆了,大概只有到最後問他問題時比較不緊張吧
因為都是他在講~~哈哈哈
我只要負責答聲就好了....

感謝各位面試前輩的分享!!
繼續努力吧~~~~各位!!!

我記得問了他兩個的樣子....

1. 大概何時會收到decision?   就是三月了嗎?

2. 問了他一個consulting management academy 的課程,請他解釋一下,因為網上沒怎麼看到...

其他資訊都差不多了解了,就沒問囉~~

版大也進入面試階段了吧~~~互相加油!!

interview的人是个committee的成员，话题很轻松，没说几句就和我说I assure you that you will be admitted了。

唯一的一个相关问题就是问我为什么要选择他们这所学校，事实上我还没答完，他就把我掐断了。其他的话都在聊天，对了，他还问我上没上过英语课，我说当然，从初中到大学上了十年了。最后问我自己觉得是否需要先上语言班，我说:frankly, I don't think so （主要还是怕花钱），然后他就跟上一句：I don't think so either...

个人感觉，这家学校的interview主要是为了看你的真实英语实力，或者说口语的实力。也可能是我的运气比较好吧，闲聊的话题都挺对路的，很轻松就搞定了

Were you given options as to the date of the interview?:  Yes - Indiana was extremely accomodating to my travel schedule. Out of the 6 schools to which I applied, I'd say that Kelley was the easiest to work with.   
Could you choose the interview's location?:  No - The interview took place in one of the MBA offices.   
How many interviews were scheduled?:  1   
How many interviewed you?:  1 - One of the 2nd year students interviewed me. At first I was a little dismayed, thinking I wanted the dean himself to come see how great I was. However, I quickly learned that Kelley had teamed me up with an interviewer that had a very similar background to mine and very similar career goals. I asked him questions for a full 30 minutes after the interview officially ended. It was wonderful.   
How long were the interviews?:  30 min (officially)   
Who were the interviewers?:  Students   
What was the most difficult question?:     
What was the most interesting question?:     
Any other questions you remember?:  I was surprised by how basic they were (i.e. Walk me through your resume; Why do you want an MBA; Why Kelley; etc.)   
Did you feel prepared?:  Yes - Prior to my interview I found a Kelley alum locally who went to lunch with me. I asked him a lot of questions about the process, and that really helped me feel more prepared.   
How did you prepare?:  See above   
Did you receive any feedback at the end?:  No - Just a handshake   
What was your opinion of the Faculty?:  Superb. I was able to meet with Jonlee Andrews who heads up the consumer marketing academy. I also attended a macro economics class. The time really flew by. I was impressed.   
What was your opinion of the Alumni?:  I didn't meet any alumni as part of my official visit, but the few I've had an opportunity to meet with before and since then have been great.   
What was your opinion of the Students?:  This was where I was most impressed. At other schools I visited, the students seem to be there as a requirement for their assistantship. Very nice, but just there. The Kelley students were totally different. All were in professional atire and seemed truly eager to show off the school. We had three students escort the two of us around the building. Then we had four different students take us to lunch. Finally, one of the students found out some of my interests and hooked me up with another student for dinner (who had identical interests to mine). This is where I got sold on Kelley.   
What was your opinion of the Office Personnel?:  Very professional and courteous. They included my wife's name on the TV screen welcoming interviewees to the office that day. Small things like that go a long way.   
Did you receive a tour?:  Yes - The building is extremely new and very well "wired." While the whole building is mostly dedicated to just MBAs (which is nice), the lowest level has lockers, dressing rooms, and study areas that are truly exclusive to the MBAs.   
What was most impressive?:  The "locker room" (it's immensely nicer than whatever your high school fears may be) was a nice touch.   
What was least impressive?:  I didn't see quite as many private study rooms as I would've liked, but I didn't ask to see any in particular, either.   
Did anything change your opinion of the school? :  Yes - As I said, the professionalism and passion of the students was unsurpassed.   
Was there something you wish you had known ahead of time?:  No   
Suggestions for travel to the school?:     
What other advice can you offer future interviewees?:
