Same here. I only received an email the day after I submitted my application. I had an interview, but there is no mention of it.

Hey everyone! Just joined the GMATclub and now I'm wondering why on earth I wasn't registered earlier!!!! I interviewed at Fuqua during the open interview period back on September 20th, and I thought I'd share some of the questions that I got in the interview in case anybody else is waiting for an interview or has one scheduled in the near future!
1. Tell me about yourself.
2. Why pursue an MBA now?
3. Why Fuqua?
4. Tell me about a time you had a conflict with your manager and how you resolved it?
5. What would your friends say are your greatest strengths? Name 3?
6. What is your greatest weakness?
7. A few questions specifically related to my resume....was interested in my study abroad experience and also my dancing experience (I do hip hop & bhangra fusion)
Overall the interview was very relaxed and as others have noted, it was a 2nd year MBA interviewing me, which is unique to Fuqua's process. They involve their students in the decision making and really care about you fitting in with everybody at the school. I think the interview went well, as it was my first b-school interview! I prepared like crazy, did tons of mock interviews, and I studied over 100 different questions that students have received in past Fuqua interviews!
A lot of you are asking about the 25 random things. While I did my interview, I also did a class visit, tour, and discussion with adcom, where they elaborated a little bit more on the 25 random things. If you're going to repeat stuff from your resume, which naturally will happen, you will need to think of specific examples from that experience. For example, I put down on my resume the university that i studied abroad at (National University of Singapore), but from that, I was able to talk about an experience that I had in Bali, Indonesia, which occurred DURING my time in Singapore (I traveled all over SE Asia while studying abroad). You can go as far back as elementary school. Maybe you won your school's spelling bee in the 5th grade? Maybe you started a lemonade stand in your neighborhood and made it a legit business at age 10?
One sentence or a paragraph, as long as it gives more insight into who you are. I worked extensively on this essay already, and I don't have a single thing from work on here because I tried to let them know exactly who I am outside of work and how these experiences shaped who I am today. Look back at old school projects that you did too. Did you play on the varsity basketball/tennis/football/soccer/cricket/etc team in high school? Did you play on any specific team growing up? If so, did you ever hit a game winning shot or sink game winning free throws? Did you kick the winning field goal for your football team? Did you score the winning goal in PK's in soccer? Did you get severely injured in any of these games? Talk about these experiences and what you LEARNED from it and how you GREW as a person FROM that experience.
Ok I'm rambling now, but I think you guys get how to do this essay even without my pointers! Good luck to everyone!!!
