It was conversational.
Barely 1-2 questions from the interviewer
Then it's up to you.
You could talk about clubs, recruitment opportunities or any other resources you may want to learn about.
It's really an opportunity to learn more about the college directly from the ad com.
I feel that this interview is genuinely a vibe check -> So, make sure you come across as authentic and be yourself!

I have consolidated essay/behavioral question. Incase it can be of help to someone:
ISB - Behavioral Questions (few could be repetitive)
1) You have a mistake on a simulation you are working on and it can impact your team's performance. Will you inform your instructor about it? If you don't, he may not notice it.
2) You have noticed that some people in your team are feeling not heard and valued. What will you do to improve it and foster an inclusive environment
3) You got to know that your classmate is involved in some moral misconduct - cheated on exam or plagiarized an assignment. This classmate is your close friend. What would you suggest him and how?
4) In a peer review process you have to give review for a sensitive colleague who would take a negative feedback very seriously. How would you proceed the conversation in a positive way?
5) Your friend who has helped you out a lot in the past requires sensitive data from your part time job for a class project. What actions will you take and why?
6) Two friends in your study group are having a conflict which is affecting the entire study group's atmosphere as final exams are approaching. What actions will you take and why?
7) Your friend who has helped you out a lot in the past requires sensitive data from your part time job for a class project. What actions will you take and why?
8) Two friends in your study group are having a conflict which is affecting the entire study group's atmosphere as final exams are approaching. What actions will you take and why?
9) You are at an MBA internship and after the successful delivery of the project, your employer wanted to celebrate and offered to give high value gifts. Some of your peers have already accepted the gift. What actions will you take and how will this affect your relationship with your employer and your peers?
10) Your colleague who is usually a high performer is under a lot of stress and his performance is affecting the team. What actions will you take?
11) During an MBA project, your group members are inflating data to get better results mentioning that it’s a common practice that everyone does. What will you do, how will you respond to them?
12) One of your team member is continuously coming late to office and taking frequent time offs as well. Other members in your team are not mentioning it officially but are visibly frustrated. What steps will you take?
13) A Helpful and respected team member is asking for confidential data from my prior company to complete a project. What will my actions be?
14) A Key team member made an error in a project which can affect my grade. Prof asks me to replace the team member. What will my actions be? How will ensure project completion?

- Tell me about how you grew in your career as a professional? (I assume this is “walk me through your resume” but worded this way because I’m still at my first job)
- Where do you feel like you’ve been able to grow as a leader either at work or outside of work?
- What do you hope to learn/gain from MBA? (In context of reaching my career goals)
- How do you face conflicting information? What do you do when you have to make a difficult decision while managing different perspectives?
I’ll also add that the interviewer did interrupt me a couple times to ask questions in the middle of my self-intro.
(Where my hometown was, how I found the experience with my international move, why I chose my undergrad program, if my undergrad program met my expectations)
Overall she was timing and wording questions in a way that made them feel more genuine and conversational.
She also asked me towards the end if I knew a particular program at Darden that she thought I’d be interested in - I had to say no

I had opted for a virtual interview.
I was matched with a 2nd year student who was a marine veteran, who had done a consulting intern. He was so awesome! super comforting yet professional and was really attentive. The overall interview was for around 45 minutes, with roughly 7-8 minute for questions and rest was our discussion. The only hiccup I made was not being very well versed with my Why Tuck response, but felt made ground on it on how will I contribute to Tuck question. Apart from this, I felt my interview went really well.
Questions:
Walk me through your CV
Your biggest achievement?
Talk more about the carbon market tool you developed
More about your experience in Tokyo
Disagreement
Why MBA? (I included ST and LT goals here)
Why Tuck?
Giving someone hard feedback
How will you contribute?

I had opted for an off-campus, but in-person interview in Delhi-NCR region in India, but that was changed to virtual interview.
I was matched with a 2nd year student from Chinese descent, who had done an investment banking intern. She was awesome overall: super kind, comforting and really attentive. The overall interview was for over 50 minutes, with roughly 10 minute for questions and rest was our discussion. The only minor challenge I had was maybe she didn't have the strongest command on English and didn't understand some of my statements, but apart from it I felt my interview went really well.
Questions:
Introduction
Talk more about the kinds of projects you do
What do you mean by carbon markets?
What countries have you travelled to?
Biggest Achievement
Disagreement
Why MBA? (I included ST and LT goals here)
What Booth resources have you researched about how would that be helpful to you?

I believe they try to match you with someone based on your profile to make the conversation meaningful. It was conversational but few questions were curveball based on my goals. Lots of follow-up on goals, why a particular company, any particular client of the company I will be interested to work with. Then generic - TMAY, Why MBA, Why CBS and how will you contribute to CBS. Specific question around my resume as well on why certain professional qualification and how will it be benefit with an MBA addition. Lastly, they asked me interests outside work and opened the floor for any questions I had.
