I have my interview at 3 PM today.
How was your interview? Did you do personal interview or via Skype? Can you share some questions?
I had my interview yesterday. It was supposed to be on campus, but because of the blizzard, they called me in the morning and switched it to a phone interview. I said I didn't mind driving, but they basically insisted on a phone interview saying they placed no greater emphasis on either interview.
The interview is closed file, so resume only. I got absolutely zero feedback whatsoever. Literally after every answer the response was, "great thank you for sharing". So it was impossible to build any repoire or extend an answer or anything. Very mono-toned and to the point. Really different than any interview Ive ever had. Pretty bizarre too considering I would assume that a candidates personality should at least be a small factor in the schools decision.

Thank you very much Huskyfan32 for detailed reply. I find it strange too. But its always hard to guess the reactions on telephonic conversations. Do you know who was the interviewer? Adcom personnel or alumni? Did you hear anything from them after that?
I submitted my application in Round 2 and haven't heard anything yet. Good luck with your other apps.

No problem. It was with the head of graduate admissions. She was nice enough, but offered very little to no feedback. I have not heard back yet. I really would've preferred to do it in person. I also applied to Bentley And BC and am going to apply to UConn as well. What about you?

I understand. But don't worry, you'll get it. In which rounds did you apply to Bentley and BC ? I've applied to BC and Uconn as well. Haven't heard from them yet. Got Babson interview next week. Preparing for that.

I am an international R2 applicant currently living in US. Interviewing on campus this coming week. @HuskyFan32 do you mind sharing what kind of questions were you asked?

Admitted without scholarship
Do you mind sharing your interview questions/experience?
Standard interview stuff. Why mba. Why NU. Strengths; what you'll bring to the class. Where do you see yourself in 5years. No tricky questions or curveballs.

Hi! I was accepted today! Very excited. Quick question- I just read my letter of acceptance in the online portal but it has no information about scholarships. Does that mean I did not get one or should I expect that info in the package they mailed??
