An early, easy conversation
What to expect
This guide covers the Kelley Direct online MBA, not the full-time program. Clients report being invited to interview very early, after submitting a resume and before getting access to the full application. The interview has been a relaxed 30-minute online chat with an admissions committee member that felt more like getting to know each other than a formal interview: your background, why an MBA, how you work on teams, then your questions.
Counted from MBA Protocol client debriefs.
