Hey - I already interviewed via Skype last week. It was a 45 min-1 hour interview. The email I received mentioned that I should have completed my interview in the next 2 weeks, which ends this Friday. Same for a friend of mine who received his invite last week sometime but was asked to interview before the decision deadline of this round.
On the interview - Very friendly , and I must say, very different. Questions focused a lot on work, leadership, and career. Very little on why jonson, why the USA, why now etc. She also asked me 2 questions that completely threw me off - very vague stuff like imagine you are this, how would you react to that etc.
However, I enjoyed the interview. It made me think. I don't know what to take away from it, as the interviewer was super nice and encouraged me even though I felt my answer got left midway/was lacking. Guess I'll find out nest week.

Str1der,
Given the total amount of time for your interview do not fret the two questions that threw you off. In the scope of the entire interview that couldn't have amounted to more than 5 minutes. Remember that for each Cornell interview they write down a transcript, well summary, of the entire interview and present to the adcom. Unless you said something radically insulting or off topic it will just be one or two lines of their notes.
Was your interviewer a second year student? I feel that students are more prone to throwing curve balls into their interviews than the paid admissions committee members. Furthermore, the interviews are blind so hey have your resume in front of them and just a few notes from the admissions person who first read your complete app, which is most likely why they were primarily focused on your work experience.
Good Luck on your acceptance!
