Just finished my interview. I think it went well.

Questions were pretty standard, similar to what you've seen on previous posts.

One curveball: What will you do if your original plan (i.e. post MBA target job / company) doesn't pan out?

Be ready for an answer!

Goodluck to the rest of you guys!

I had an answer prepared. There were a few standard questions my intervievwer didn't ask though. Don't know if that's a bad sign.

Two weeks guys! Hang in there!

This was also a question that a number of other schools had on their applications. I wouldn't read too much into the "questions asked/not asked" during the interview. As far as I can tell, the interviews are as much about learning what kind of person you are, how you think, how you handle a stressful situation, and how professional you can be as they are about the actual answer you provide. Each interviewer is different and each interview will be unique. Just sit back and enjoy your time. Decisions will be along shortly.

Thanks for the input! Really hoping to get a YES from Johnson. Can't wait to call Sage Hall home for the next 2 years!

They said they were still making decisions about the scholarship weekend.

I had my interview last week with an admissions officer at Cornell. The questions were similar to what others have said, but I did receive some tough follow-up questions/comments. She did ask me if I had applied for the park fellowship and if so, why did I think I deserved it? Anyone else get this question?

I got that one actually. Since my interviewer hadn't read my app I took the answer from my application and used the time to expand upon it.

I'd be happy enough just to get in though, fellowship or not!!
