I want to, but unfortunately I was late to register and looks like all the slots are full. I have registered for the waitlist, hoping that atleast this waitlist converts lol.
Which slot have you registered for?

My McDonough interview just got over an hour ago and it went quite well! A first-year student was my interviewer. It lasted for about 35 minutes.

Most questions revolved around the following:

1. Walk me through your resume
2. We both had similar backgrounds (Marketing), so a couple of questions were about how I pivoted from a technical role to a marketing role and how I chose my team
3. How has my leadership style evolved
4. My most significant accomplishment till date (I added a DE&I example here which he really liked)
5. The most important piece of constructive feedback that I have received so far
6. Short-term and long-term goals and Plan B in case they don’t work out
7. Why MBA now & Why McDonough
8. Any questions that I had for him

It was a blind interview and was indeed very conversational. He genuinely made an effort to keep it informal by adding anecdotes and his personal experiences.

Is there any connection between being invited for the coffee chat with admissions committee member and receiving an interview invite? Just checking since I was wondering if you can be invited to interview and get the coffee chat invite or is it an either or situation. Any info will help, since I've been invited to the coffee chat but still waiting for an invite to interview after applying in R2.
