My interview was with Ms. Lynda from the admissions committee (she is one of the admissions director over there). Overall the interview was very conversational (she made sure I was comfortable in my space) and lasted for approximately ~30 minutes. The questions were as follows (although I don't remember the correct order and all the questions):
1. Walk me through your resume.
2. Immediate Goals post MBA.
3. Why MBA? Why Rotman?
4. Views on diversity.
5. Most important learning that has had a major impact on you.
6. Challenge at work and what did you learn from it.
Towards the end she asked me if I had any questions and I asked 2-3 questions. That's it!

Just had my Booth interview, off-campus with an alum. Was super friendly and conversational, went through my resume and tangential questions around it, my goals, why mba and why booth. Went for 1hr45mins, but honestly didn’t feel the time and we discussed a lot of random things as well such as my views on the economy and even geopolitics. Make sure you are well-informed in general and have planned your concentrations and electives for Booth, and why the Chicago Approach makes sense for you. Look at it as a conversation with an interested peer who wants to understand your journey, rather than an interview.

Why an MBA and why now?
What does team Fuqua mean to you?
Are there any professors/classes that you are interested in?
TMAT when you use data to solve a problem.
TMAT when you had to solve a problem without data.
Why will Durham be a good fit for you?

TMAT when you didn’t get along with a coworker/manager?
What are you most proud of in your professional/personal life?

Just finished my on-campus interview today. Super friendly second year interviewer. The questions asked were "very-very-untraditional" in a sense that she did not ask me anything about why MBA nor why Booth, not even how I contribute to booth, but threw me about 7 different behavioral questions.
The vibe was super nice though. Everything flowed and before I paid attention to the time 55 mins passed by.
I dont know man, was it a red flag or the questions been asked were pure random. But man, 7 behavioral questions, there were definitely something else going on.
Good luck everyone.

My McDonough interview just got over an hour ago and it went quite well! A first-year student was my interviewer. It lasted for about 35 minutes.
Most questions revolved around the following:
1. Walk me through your resume
2. We both had similar backgrounds (Marketing), so a couple of questions were about how I pivoted from a technical role to a marketing role and how I chose my team
3. How has my leadership style evolved
4. My most significant accomplishment till date (I added a DE&I example here which he really liked)
5. The most important piece of constructive feedback that I have received so far
6. Short-term and long-term goals and Plan B in case they don’t work out
7. Why MBA now & Why McDonough
8. Any questions that I had for him
It was a blind interview and was indeed very conversational. He genuinely made an effort to keep it informal by adding anecdotes and his personal experiences.

I interviewed with a 2nd-year student and it was very conversational. Typical interview questions like why an MBA, why Owen, and what am I looking to achieve in my career? I recommend reaching out to a student ambassador to discuss the school and answer any questions so you can be prepared to give solid answers in the interview.
They use a special unique platform for interviews, be prepared and email your interviewer with a backup plan, like Zoom, in case it doesn’t work.

Had my interview with a 2nd-year student. Very conversational, mostly seemed to be digging into my background because it is non-standard (military) and my goals because they too are non-standard (construction/real estate/development).
1. Tell me about yourself
2. What are you looking to get out of an MBA
3. Goals
4. I didn't get any explicit TMAT questions - just about my experience in project management, recruiting plan, back-up plan
Lasted a little over 30 minutes with my questions at the end included in time (roughly 20 minute interview 10 minute questions from me).

It was a 30ish minute interview with a three-member alumni panel.
1. Work experience: What does my work day look like? What are the meanings of some of the jargons used in the application? Which aspect of the project do I specifically handle?
2. P2P learning: Panel asked me about all the points I'd written in the first essay. Huge opportunity to highlight what you bring to the table.
3. Case Study: You're the CM of Delhi. How would you reduce the pollution in the city? (Expect a case study/guesstimate if you've written strategy consulting as your short term goal)
4. Hobbies/Interests: They asked me to talk about one of my hobbies. I'd read this while preparing so I was prepared for this line of questioning. Things like if your fav sport is basketball, you're expected to be able to have a conversation on the topic as well. Players, fouls, trivia etc.
5. Why MBA at this point in my career?
6. Any questions for the panel?
Feedback: The way the first questions were posed did make me feel like I was having to defend my profile. So, if you come from a generic profile (Engg. + Consulting) be prepared to 'convince' the panel of your achievements and roles at work.

# Walk in the interview without having the final decision result in the mind, just be yourself
# Try Building a rapport with your interviewer

I had an interview with 2nd yr MBA student. He was very polite and we had a great talk for about 40 minutes. All those questions that are stated above were asked, but not in line with questioning, it was more in a natural flow of the conversation. I felt really connected.
