Kellogg Alum Interview Experience

we started off quite randomly with the discussion of his current company, the business model. I raised a point and he said I was smart (for three times). Following that, the situation was mixed:

Questions asked:

Brief introduce yourself
Why MBA since you already have a graduate degree
Why Kellogg (I was sad he did not comment on anything i mentioned special about Kellogg and just took down notes)
Why now not last year or the year after
What are the other schools applied (I said xxxx and xxxxxxx) He then followed with "what do you select if all admitted) I said Kellogg immediately but i can feel he did not buy. I should have analyzed a bit then say Kellogg
What is the biggest acchievement at work?
What is the second biggest acchievement at work?"( I faint, did not expect the second)
he followed up the example asked what did I do exactly.
Difficult team experience?
What can you contribute to Kellogg.
What makes an effective leader?
What will your coworkers describe you?
Your GPA is xxx (actually not bad at all). Do you think your GPA and GMAT reflect your real capability? ( i was surprised and really did not know how to answer). Then we elaborated a little bit by saying the GMAT aveage is picking up year by year.

When we start talking about my application, he seldomly comment on what I said. I don't know if that is because i hit the wall or just his style. When we talk about other things, (china, business, etc.) the discussion was hot.

Conclustion: he said he has to write a report to the committee and I observed he did take very detailed notes. So I guess the core value of the interview is to provide additional data points to the Adcom. I am sure he will give a grade or even a Yes or No but this is certainly just one component of the whole package.
