I had a positive experience overall. The interview began right away, with very little introduction or chit chat.
They did not ask me about my data visualization at all, which was kind of surprising. They dove right into a mix of behavioral and TMAT questions.
They moved quickly between questions with very little reaction to my responses. I kept my answers brief and specific, focusing on the action I took and the result.
What’s changed since you applied? (I talked about how I joined an alumni panel webinar.)
What will be your impact on the program?
TMAT Biggest challenge
TMAT Led without authority / persuaded others
TMAT Dealt with a difficult team member
How would others describe your leadership strengths and weaknesses?
TMAT Led a group to a solution
What’s a personal or professional goal you set, and how did you achieve it?
Why MBA? Why Sloan?
What are your short term and long term goals?
Anything you want to add that you haven’t said?
That took about 15 minutes, and then the last 15 minutes I asked about 4 questions. It was 30 minutes total.

Guys, I had a horrible interview experience. My interviewer was an Indian+very senior alumni (grad of 2007). I knew the moment I got his profile that this could be the most difficult interview I will ever have.
He rescheduled the interview 3 times and finalised the time only 3 hours before the interview. I’m not sure what adcom will make of this. Anyways, interview started, and this guy seemed pissed off about everything. He kept challenging almost every sentence I said. He started by saying why I don’t want to be in sustainability (dude I spent 7 years in sustainability only to be told this). Next he said why coming back to India to start my own firm is a bad bad idea. Next he kept complaining about how Adanis are looting the country and how Modi is favoring only the big business leaving others to starve (this guy was running his own firm). He had a horrible connection and we shifted platform from teams to gmeet to WhatsApp eventually. He ended by suggesting me to explore technical courses instead and didn’t even allow me to counter.
Sorry for the long rant. I had so much expectations from this interview, Fuqua is my top choice school and it is pretty much all I have in R2. Should I reach out to adcom trying to explain my situation? Please suggest something.

Why Stern
Why NYC
How will you go about recruiting
Plan B if original plan doesn’t work out
Any lapses on these question might be a red flag. Although post interview selection rate is high, don’t give them an opportunity to waitlist you

Okay I was scared that time.
Interview just got over. It was with an adcom member who is also a flex MBA student.
My interview was 43 min long. He asked following:
my intro, Why now, ST, LT, Why MSB,
TMAT when you did take up a responsibility out of your SOW,
How do you work when people around you are from different cultures,
Then I got time to ask questions.
Before asking my question itself I took his e-mail so that I don't forget in the end.
Then I asked him 4 questions.
He was really sweet TBH.

Asked him 3-4 questions which he went on to answer and explain very nicely.
