It wasn’t that bad, and I got similar questions about what you will find on this site, among others. Definitely prep prep prep beforehand. I had rehearsed 4 of the 5 questions I got, and they felt like softball questions. I guess we shall see!
1. Tell about yourself outside of your professional experience.
2. TMAT, when someone above you changed your plan at the last minute, how did you respond, and what was the outcome?
3. TMAT where someone’s voice or input wasn’t being heard. What did you do, and what was the result of the situation?
4. TMAT when you had to solve a complex problem that required a lot of information.
5. Short- and long-term goals and plans if those don’t work out?

Interviewer was super friendly. Briefly introduced himself and then asked me following questions:
1. Tell me about yourself.
2. Why MBA?
3. Why MBA now?
4. Why McCombs?
5. How will you contribute to McCombs?
After each answer he proceeded to add in his own experiences. After about 25 minutes of discussion, I asked him about his McCombs experience for about 10 minutes.

Hi,
I had my Optional Peer Interview with a second-year McCombs student. It was relatively much easier than one with an AdCom member. No specific questions. Just Tell me About Yourself, post-MBA goals, and why McCombs.
After that, it was an open question-answer discussion. I asked 3-4 questions and she provided whatever information she had about those areas.
I felt this was much more natural, however, that was expected considering it was a Peer Interview without any direct Behavioural questions, and more of an opportunity for me to ask questions w.r.t. the program and student experiences.

It was super quick though just 20 mins and rest of the time was given for me to ask questions ~ if any for about 10 mins
The questions were again like any general mba interview, nothing that I found different or weird. I think it’s important to have the story in our mind clear and research about the school. We should be good!
Hope that helps
