Thank you very much I really appreciate the response. I have read about the non-weighting of Skype vs in person, but there are schools that say that and then they kindly nudge you like "hey read between the lines buddy". It is reassuring to hear it from an alum. I did schedule the interview via Skype. I definitely intend to knock it out the park on the interview. I am using a lot of time this weekend to prepare. If you have any recommendations on how best to prepare please pass them along. I will be poring over this entire thread, and past years' threads, for any bits of gold I can find. Thanks again.

I thought maybe I will chip in my two cents 
As you know its blind resume based, by second year fellows. So its pretty relaxed. Interview most probably wont spill over to the usual 30 mins. The usual will be expected, why mba? why anderson? what are your goals? Feasibility of goals (if applicable, just to show you have given it some thought). One question which I am sure you will be asked: Whats your leadership story? Aim for 3-4 mins for each answer (not the usual 2 in mu opinion
) Keep in mind what clubs you want to join, as you might be asked that. If you can squeeze in the info that you spoke to alums/current students/etc, that is looked upon favorably.
Ask questions which relate to the second year student. Like his experience with some particular thing you learnt about Anderson.
Kudos if helpful!

Sorry for the late reply on this. I would say avik629 covered pretty much everything. Just make sure you know your story. That is to say, make sure you clearly connect your past experience to your future goals, and explain specifically how Anderson will help you reach those goals. Although you don't know if the person interviewing you came from or is going into the same industry you are targeting, I have always found it helpful to prepare like you will be interviewing with someone that is an expert in your target industry. Good luck!
