Interview was with a grad about 5 years out. I live in Germany so I interviewed at her office in Frankfurt. I wasn't sure exactly what to expect because Germans tend to be a little more formal than Americans in situations like this but it went pretty much like everyone else said, very conversational with the basic why MBA, why CBS, why NYC type questions. Overall it lasted 90 minutes and I felt great afterwards but I guess you never really know how the other person truly perceives you. Just stay on point about why CBS and as long as you are being genuine try to link each answer back to some component of the school and what makes it a perfect fit for you.
So it seems that it is taking a little longer than last year, but it is still an awesome feeling to have this all figured out now so early in the process. Good luck to the rest of the applicants who are still waiting! If anyone has any questions I am happy to assist where I can.
Congrats man! Keep us posted on the next steps
