Sure,
Before I talk about what I learned from my interview, I'd like to say that it's important to keep the tone of the interview conversational. This is something I learned from many failed interviews. Be ready with stories from your work life.

Took off with
1) Tell me about yourself?
2) Why  MBA? Why MBA in Canada?
3) Why  Ivey?
4) Tell me about a project where you helped your team to success. What did you learn from doing it? Is there anything you wish you could have changed?
5) Can you tell me about another project in which you led a team to success in a cross-collaboration setting?
6) Tell me about a time when you made a team fail.
7) Since you want to be a consultant, tell me about a recent event in Canada that would make a good case study.
8) Tell me about your start-up project experience? Did you learn anything important?
9) What will you do for Ivey both in and out of the classroom?
10) What steps will you take to make sure you do well in the program?

Then, in a 60-minute interview, he gave me close to 20 minutes to ask him questions.
I had a list of about five questions that I asked. You should be ready with five or six questions to ask the interviewer.

Try to have at least two layers of answers - for counter question-and two examples for each of the above questions.

Starting Monday, April 3rd, all candidates will now have the option to apply for a GMAT/GRE exemption as part of their Ivey MBA application.

This new exemption opportunity is open to all applicants! Those with a specified professional designations will continue to be GMAT/GRE exempt.

Here’s how it works

GMAT/GRE waiver requests will be evaluated individually by our Admissions Committee. We’ll be looking for indicators of academic and professional accomplishment, including but not limited to:

A strong GPA from a degree in engineering, science, computer science, statistics, mathematics, business, or economics, with a focus on quantitative analysis.
Demonstrable professional work experience showcasing strong quantitative skills.

Nikhil - yes but that figure on google seems incorrect to me. This is lower than acceptance rate of HBS and MIT

I agree. The acceptance rate is around 30% for Ivey (Co2022 statistics).
