I actually typed up my experience and questions asked here: https://www.accepted.com/mba/interviews/ ... IntID=9873
I had originally planned on driving to campus (about 5.5 hours for me) but a big snow storm kept me from getting to campus and they were very accommodating for doing a phone interview, given the circumstances.

I think I seem to be sort of an outlier in that I got my interview invite really late last round, so I was sort of up a creek when it came to interview dates because I had already had multiple work/interview obligations scheduled when I got the notice. I ended up with a 4 pm interview on a Monday and I came in over the weekend because I had a disastrous experience whilst flying out to Booth (with my plane being diverted on account of a medical emergency onboard and getting in at 2 am the morning of the interview as opposed to the night before). It was my last interview of Round 1.
Anyway, I'll be honest. I didn't think my interview went poorly but I didn't think it went super well, either. She asked the standard questions about walking through the resume, why Ross, where I see myself with my Ross degree, why now etc. Nothing crazy whatsoever. Then I asked her about what she had interned in over the summer and the MAP experience. Probably the most interesting thing is that I got her on to the subject of Whole Foods (based on what she had done over the summer) and she perked up and said that she had actually talked about Whole Foods on her admissions essay. Then we talked about some of the crazy stuff they sell there and Whole Foods vis-a-vis the small company health food market. I think this was also the interview where I was talking about sustainability initiatives with the interviewer (sorry, they began to run together). My interviewer was very nice but I would also say that she seemed like a reserved person in general and I had no idea what she thought of me post-interview. And since I was pretty certain Michigan says very clearly in the interview invite that they do not want to be asked for an interview critiques, I just left it at asking for her email and sending her a thank you followup (which I did for all my interviews).
I didn't do the orientation because the weather was miserable (it had started to snow) and all my winter clothing is with my family on the east coast. And when I tried to sign up for the VIP Day online it said all the spots had been reserved. But it was pretty boring to sit around all day waiting for the interview-I wish I had gone in and just explored the building a bit more.
PS: they sent me a ton of promotional emails after the interview. I have no idea whether they do this or everyone after the interview or not.
Let me just say this-I was expecting to get into UCLA and waitlisted at Ross based on the interviews. Instead, it went the other way around.
