Had my Booth off-campus interview with an Alumni a couple of days ago.

Pretty generic questions in general - Why an MBA, why Booth, why now, walk me through your careers choices and post MBA goals etc. Very informal conversational style interview even though it was at the Alumni's offices.

A couple of the more specific questions:
- Why should Booth admit you compared to someone with a similar background?
- Give me an example of how you showed resilience.
- Tell me something about yourself that I don't know from reading your resume that you think defines you.

Overall, I think it went really well; so now just a long wait for the admit decisions to be released.

I also recently had a Booth interview (traveled on campus and met with a second-year student)
Outside of "Why MBA, Why Booth" had none of the pointed questions you described. Most of my questions were focused on my resume "What has been your prodest moments in your jobs so far, Why did you do XYZ job" and one or two behavioral questions.

I think its interesting to compare. I will say that as you mentioned, the interview was very conversational style. Once I asked my questions, my interviewer and I got into a pretty lengthy discussion about moving for b-school, social life, living in Chicago, etc.

For on-campus interviews, do they let you know the details of interviewer in advance?

It doesn't appear so. The registration email says you'll find out your interviewers name the day of. I'm not sure if they may email it to you a bit before or if it's when you get to campus, though.

I called the admission office the morning of my interview, and they gave me the name of my interviewer, and I was able to do some research on her prior to my afternoon interview!

Is anyone else going to "Booth Live" tomorrow? If so, is everyone wearing business formal? I've already done my interview, so I'm kind of debating going a tad more casual.

Does anyone know when we can expect to hear after our interview? Will they call within a week or two or is it all on the notification deadline?

for those of you who had on campus interviews... did you write a thank you email and if so, did your interviewer respond? I thought my interview went okay but I didn’t get a response to my email - hoping this isn’t an indication of the feedback she submitted!

Yeah, whether or not they responded is not an indication of how well or poorly you did. My alumnus interviewer replied to mine, but I remember my friend having an on-campus interview and hers didn't reply to her thank you note either. She got in. Wouldn't read into it. :)
