I had opted for a virtual interview.
I was matched with a 2nd year student who was a marine veteran, who had done a consulting intern. He was so awesome! super comforting yet professional and was really attentive. The overall interview was for around 45 minutes, with roughly 7-8 minute for questions and rest was our discussion. The only hiccup I made was not being very well versed with my Why Tuck response, but felt made ground on it on how will I contribute to Tuck question. Apart from this, I felt my interview went really well.
Questions:
Walk me through your CV
Your biggest achievement?
Talk more about the carbon market tool you developed
More about your experience in Tokyo
Disagreement
Why MBA? (I included ST and LT goals here)
Why Tuck?
Giving someone hard feedback
How will you contribute?
Questions that I have for him

6. Tell me about a time you received difficult feedback and how you handled it.
7. What unique voice or perspective would you bring to the Tuck community?Is there anything we haven’t discussed that you’d like the admissions committee to know?

My Interview
It was a very conversational, friendly interview. He asked about myself and later made 3-4 follow up questions. And from that, the conversation stemmed.
A question I wasn’t ready for was: “is there anything you’d want the admissions committee to know about you?”
It took me a minute to answer. But overall, very friendly.

Just got done with my interview.
My interviewer was taking so many notes. It almost made me nervous. But she was warm.
Questions were generic, why mba, why tuck, how will you contribute, 1 feedback you got, what are you proud of, etc.
I was asked 1 follow up question also, very basic one on a behavioral question only.
It ended up for about 40 min in total.
I got time to ask questions as well in the end. Overall it was good, but I do feel I could have structured it better at places.
All the best to all of you.

Hey guys,
Got done with my Tuck interview. It was with a second year student.
Started with “TMAY”, i covered major aspects about my life and career in that. (I try to showcase the school’s required values in this monologue only)
Since it was Tuck, i delved deeper into Why MBA and Why Tuck. (Tuck takes this very seriously)
There were only 3 TMAT questions. (About a time when i helped someone who was struggling professionally, about a professional mistake i committed and i don’t remember third one)
Interview lasted for exactly 30 minutes.

I had my interview about 2 weeks ago. It is meant to last 30-45 minutes. Mine lasted about 50 because I extended a bit on my answers.
It is meant to be very conversational. They intend to open with a walk me through your CV o tell me about yourself. And then the interviewer will ask follow ups and behavioral questions. You will have time to ask the interviewer some questions. So I suggest you have 4-5 questions planned for the interviewer.
