Q&A: International, Engineer, starting MBA at Kellogg this fall

I got admitted to Kellogg for 2Y MBA program, starting this fall. As the admissions season is about to start, wanted to help fellow monkeys ripping their sanity off with their GMAT/Applications/Visits etc. Profile: International (S-E Asia), Engineer working in the Aerospace Industry (Technical) with 4.5 years WE, 750 GMAT, 3.8 GPA. Got interviewed at 3 M7 schools in R1 (2015-16, Wharton/CBS/Kellogg) Feel free to ask your questions. Good luck to all.

Are you from Singapore? Just curious! How were your interviews with CBS and Wharton, what do you think could be done better? Can you tell us your goal for taking MBA, as well as your pre-MBA experience (company's name, promotions, leaderships, community services etc).
