Okay I was scared that time.
Interview just got over. It was with an adcom member who is also a flex MBA student.
My interview was 43 min long. He asked following:
my intro, Why now, ST, LT, Why MSB,
TMAT when you did take up a responsibility out of your SOW,
How do you work when people around you are from different cultures,
Then I got time to ask questions.
Before asking my question itself I took his e-mail so that I don't forget in the end.
Then I asked him 4 questions.
He was really sweet TBH.

My interview was started 10 minutes late. Even though I had joined on time and I could see the interviewer was also there, he didn't add me into the call and I kept waiting. The interview ended in like 15 mins I think.
No reaction to my answers, no follow-ups, felt like he was reading through a script and seemed to be doing some other work.

-Why Georgetown
-How will you contribute to Georgetown
-What other schools have you applied to and where does Georgetown rank in that set
-A time when you faced a professional failure

My interview was much more drilling me, either following up on my answers or not saying anything at all to my response, just jumping into the next question. All the normal questions (why MBA, why now, why here) probably 5 TMAT questions, questions about experience in quant, asked if I got into all schools, would Georgetown be my top choice, asked me to tell them about a business current event I had been following and what my objections were to it? Honestly kind of hard.
