No need to stress out much. It's just a conversation. I prepared a lot based on all interview debriefs but none of that was asked to me.
But still if anyone wants to know -
1. What is the difference in roles and responsibilities in you previous and current organization? How both of these are different ? (Background - Previous organization - Consulting and current organization - Insurance brokerage firm)
2. Are there any changes in responsibilities of your role in current organization after you joined ? (Background - Based on one my essay answer)
3. What do you do to blow off steam ? What do you do to have fun?
4. Have you tried to influence working environment at your current organization based on your long consulting experience? How was it ?
5. What is your working style with your colleagues ? How work is divided?
6. What type of strategic or decision making roles you have been ? Any time when you have to present data to senior leadership?
Then she gave me some time to ask any questions. I asked few questions related to DBI and STAR program which I had in my mind.

I had mine and it was a mix of standard stuff and personal questions. Expect the "walk through your resume" and "why MBA, why Kellogg, and why now". Most of the questions I had were drill downs into my specific experiences, things I talked about, my leadership experiences, leadership style, etc. Seems like interviewers have a lot of freedom to do it organically.

My interview was different from the other reports I've seen, perhaps because I come from a family business.
I think all Tepper interviews are not blind and the admissions member has gone through the entire application beforehand. It was an alright experience, but get used to receiving 0 reactions throughout, they spend more time making notes and my interviewer simply asked the questions she had been given. Questions were fairly standard, but she did ask me about my role because I wear many hats in my family business.
