Had my interview on Saturday. Went quite well.
No curve balls as questions were pretty standard.
Walk me through your resume.
Why MBA?
Why BU?
Goals?
Unexpected leadership
Risky decision
One time when you had to adapt to change?
Strengths
I asked couple of questions. Hope I was able to impress. Looking forward to results now. All the best to others.

Go ahead, drop them a mail! Let them know your intentions. It shouldn't go against you. Show them that you are really interested and would prefer BU. I would have definitely dropped them a mail.
