I did mine with a 2nd year student yesterday. Just make sure you have concrete examples for usual behavioral questions and you guys will be good to go. I received questions similar to the ones on the interview debrief for Fuqua (TMAT when you gave concrete feedback, worked in a diverse team, etc.) Pretty straightforward interview, but it put me off a bit because the interviewer was taking a lot of notes and I started feeling like I was messing the interview session (which I am). Just be prepared mentally. Messing up my answers*

Hey, Same thing happened with me. The interviewer was taking a lot of notes and there were awkward pauses after every answer. However she told me that she does not want to miss anything in the interview report and that’s why is writing everything in detail

Yeah I was a bit surprised. Messed up answering a particular question. Always better to be extra prepared for interviews.

The interviews you are speaking about are the ones invited for Early Action Applicants? Or the round 1?

Sorry not following earlier messages Thanks

Any un expected questions or stress related/grilled kind off questions?

I think that depends on the interviewer, mine were mostly behavioral but I read that someone was asked about the "Fuqua paired principles" couple weeks ago.
