I finished my campus interview too this week. Thought I'd post this for R3 and next year's applicants:
Qs:
Has there been any updates for your resume since you submitted your application?
Describe your role at your current firm
Describe a time when you had a different opinion than your colleagues. What did you do?
Describe your favourite kind of project at work
Why MBA? (with discussion on short and long term goals)
How will your current job help with your post-MBA goals?
Why Wharton?
What do you do outside of work?
All in all, it was a very conversational interview. My interviewer was really nice and was great at making me feel relaxed and I thought a lot of the questions came naturally with the flow of conversation which showed that he was actually listening. The whole thing lasted about 45 minutes.

I had a somewhat different interview experience and I thought I should definitely share for the round-3ers.
I had my on-campus interview on the 5th March and contrary to everyone else’s experience it was not conversational at all. It was very back and forth and very formal. The interviewer was a very pretty international who was diligently taking notes and keeping an eye on the watch, which of course reduced the eye-contact time. I also felt that it was one of her first interviews and she was a bit nervous. At the same time she was enthusiastic about the questions she had chosen for me. There were no follow-up/clarification/with the flow questions, which again did not allow for much conversation. So I think the experience really depends from person to person even when you go on-campus for the interview.
Some of the questions asked:
Walk me through your resume, focusing on your transitions.
Why is Wharton the right fit for you and vice versa?
What qualities do you bring to a team?
If you were to start your own company, what are the values that you would appreciate and reward your employees for?
Who is a leader, famous or not so famous, that you look up to and why?
Give me two words that your co-workers would use to describe you and why?
Of all the places and people you have worked for, which place or person did you least enjoy working for and why?
What is your short-term goal and how will Wharton prepare you for that?
Are there any weaknesses in your application?
I did get her to share her experience so far with the MBA and Wharton towards the end of the interview when I was asking her questions. That was probably the only conversation we had. That said, I hope she evaluates me well. Good luck everyone!

Trust me, I thought over the interview a million times afterwards. But I concluded that it probably wasn't as horrible as I thought it was. If she was that stiff then probably all of her interviewees felt awkward about their interviews. 
. I guess i'll see what happens.
