My Interview was structured in the sense that she had her list of questions she went through:
Tell me about yourself/going through resume
How will Duke and MBA help you achieve goals
Dealing with a difficult person, how have you engage with Duke community
Anything else you want to tell me?
And lastly if I had any additional question
Even though it was structure it felt really conversational and open.
She was in her Duke hoodie, super nice and warm

My interview
I understood that the interviews were going to be more conversational, but mine was actually quite direct with structured questions.
They started with “Walk me through your resume,” then asked about a time I led a team, a complication I faced and how I handled it, my perspective on working in diverse teams, and what I would contribute to Fuqua.
I hope this helps! I know there are people from Fuqua who are open to helping with interview preparation, so I definitely recommend reaching out.

My Interview Debrief
It lasted around 40 minutes. He asked questions like
Tell me a time you lead without authority? Is there something you would have changed?
Tell me a time where you worked in a diverse group?
What role do you play in a group project (something along those lines)
Why an MBA?
Why Duke?
How would you contribute to Duke?
These are the questions I remember.

My Interview
It was conversational and she shared a lot about her experiences at Booth as well. We talked about some common interests too, as they came up.
1. TMAY and Why MBA
2. Why MBA now given your age (I'm 24)
3. Why Booth?
4. TMAT you presented an idea to people, how did they take it, what did you do?
5. TMAT you motivated someone on your team and what techniques you used to help them grow (she asked me to talk about an instance I mentioned in a previous answer)
6. Where is home to you? (Im international)
7. Questions for me
Those are the main questions, but she had a lot of followups about things I mentioned / tangential questions
The meeting was scheduled for 45 mins but just ended up talking for 1h 15.

I had my interview with Megan Lewis yesterday
It wasnt grilling , more like going deep into the things you mentioned in your previous answer
The basic questions were same .
Why mba ?
Why noow ?
Why foster ?
Challenges and how you faced it?
Be ready to answer about the diversity , inclusion and equity question . It is their mission statement and she would like to know how you have practised those values
These were the only generic questions. Apart from that all the questions come out of what you say .
For example : i am part of a neurologically challenged group as an ally in my org . She asked more on what i do, what i experienced .
So be cautious of what you say , because she will pick up on it to check if you are genuinely saying it
Apart from that her energy was just like any other interviewer .
Also another question she frequently asks is about any cultural challenges you faced in your job.

My Interview Debrief
The Interviewer was pretty warm and made me feel at ease throughout . She mentioned that the interview will only go on for 30 mins excluding any questions I might have for her. she also said that since already knows the common reasons why I would want to join tepper ,she wanted to get into the personality and behavior aspect :
1. A situation in my job where I had a conflict or someone was angry
2. A situation where your peer was unable to perform well and what you did
3. Why I want to do an MBA now ?
4. Why not some other university than Tepper?
5. What i will contribute to tepper in terms of collaboration
6. If I have any questions for her.
Overall it will feel like just a normal conversation without any stress . Be prepared with behavioral questions around collaboration ,leadership , conflict resolution etc.

Just finished my interview a while ago. I had the interview with John Madgwick, Head of Financial Services and Early Careers at Oxford's Saïd.
It went for 30 min. It was a VERY interactive interview. He asked me during my answer to dig deeper in the context.
There were conventional questions like Why MBA, Why Oxford and I also got another Why UK? (even after I answered why Oxford already)
I also got asked about my integrity. Somewhere along "Has your integrity ever been questioned?"
Overall, it went well. Got to ask 2 questions for him.
Wish everyone (and also myself) luck!

I interviewed in R2 on 11 Jan in Mumbai. My interviewers were very friendly and mentioned liking my essay. But since I am from a different background of design, their questions revolved more about
-What I think good design was.
-How I approached my work
-What would be the impact of AI on my work.
They never even touched why I wanted to do an MBA. And just had one question regarding what I will do at ISB. Did not even ask me Why ISB.
I was mostly able to answer all questions except one, about the impact of AI on ecommerce platforms. I clarified that i was well aware of impact of AI on the design industry but not on the whole of e commerce. But i still did answer somewhat, but they weren’t there most satisfied with this answer. But this was the only hiccup.
Now i am very confused, since everyone’s experiences revolved around Why MBA & Why ISB.
For reference both my interviewers were very chill guys who seemed like they worked in some creative adjacent fields as well.
