Congrats Siddharth for the interview.
Adcoms are aware about internet issues and a disconnect will not reflect in any way on your performance.
Can you please share your interview experience and the type of questions asked. It'll help the rest of the applicants.
Thank You.

Interview done. I thought it went well even though my VPN got disconnected in between.
Now the wait starts!
Kunzi, thanks for your response. Skype is actually banned where I live (Oman), and I need to use a VPN to access it.
Regarding the interview, it was very conversational. I know this has been mentioned several times before but believe me that is exactly how it was. It was the kind of conversation you would have while having coffee. The interviewer, a second year student, was very friendly and gave me a very good idea about life at the university and in Houston in general. He also told me about the developments that Houston has made other than in the Energy sector (Healthcare, Houston Space Station to name a few).
As far as the questions are concerned, they were the same -> Take me through your resume? Why MBA? Why Rice? Questions you would want to ask me? While going through the resume he asked me some more questions relevant to that project/responsibility most probably to measure my leadership and interpersonal skills.
Hope this helps and wish everyone else the very best for their respective interviews.
