Pretty standard:
1) Tell me about yourself and why we’re having this chat (basically why MBA)
2) Tell me where Tuck fits into this
3) Short and long term goals
4) Time when you gave feedback for something difficult
5) Time when you received difficult feedback
6) Something you’re proud of (which I think is where I should have used my planned answer showcasing my "Smart" quality, but changed my mind in the interview, which I regret)
7) Anything else you want us to know
In terms of sources, I spoke to several people on this sub privately for advice, and also watched Tuck Q&A events, along with using MBA Mission’ free interview guide.

1) TMAY
2) Why MBA? Why Tuck? LT/ST
3) Biggest achievement & failure
4) TMAT when you deal with a difficult person / took initiative
5) Any part to add in
It lasted around 45 minutes

Had my Tuck interview on 10th Jan.
The interview was for about 35 mins.
Started with standard questions
Tell me about you? Why MBA? Why Tuck? How tuck will help you achieve your aspirations? what are the things you wish to do in Tuck? what do you bring to tuck?
Then onto some behavioural questions:
Tell me about a time you failed?
tell me about a time you handled conflicts? what is your biggest accomplishment and why.
And then there were a few off topic questions:
Do you want to talk about something that is special to you (not exactly worded like this, but this was kind of what they were asking)
Then towards the end, “do you think I should have asked you something but I didn’t, you can talk about it”
Then questions I have for the interviewer.
The interviewer was very friendly and nice, I felt at ease from the word go. Fingers crossed 🤞

I got mine.
1. Tell me who you are outside of your resume, essays and submitted materials.
2. Tell me about a time when there was conflict between two team members because of which a task could not be completed. How did you resolve and what did you lean?
3. Tell me about a time that inspired you to pursue post graduation? This should be apart from work and acadmeics.
