From my personal experience and from what I found on this forum, the interview is just an extended conversation. It is very relaxed with basic behavioral questions to begin with. I was asked the usual Why MBA, Why Rotman, How did you hear about Rotman, How will you contribute to the class etc. etc. Very basic stuff. My interviewer made sure that it was more of a discussion so one question led to another. For e.g. the Why MBA question, we had a chat about my goals, my hobbies etc. I wasn't asked any typical 'Tell about a situation when...' question. But you can expect questions around your leadership/extracurriculars/community service experiences.
In addition to these resume based discussions, she asked me a couple of questions that I knew were asked in a few other interviews as well. Things like, Teach me something (anything that you like) in 2 minutes. If there was one question you wanted me to ask you, what would it be and answer it yourself. Also, what will be your legacy at Rotman has been a common interview question this year. She didn't ask me this as I kind of had already answered that in the 'How will you contribute to the class' question.
Again, the interview is very chill and interviewers make an effort to ease you into a conversation. Just know your resume and a few stories around your experiences well. Also, make sure to ask meaningful questions when asked to do so.
Good Luck!
