For all those who had their interviews:
I have made a personal observation, although might be wrong. So please, share your experiences to prove/disprove my point.
The female interviewers are more intrusive and stick closely to interview protocol - they ask more detailed questions, take detailed notes, and stick to the formal interview more THAN the male interviewers. Male interviewers get overall impression and can easily get away with generic questions, and ask their own questions more - they are really trying to get to know the person rather than to stick to the protocol.
I had an interview with a female student last year, and a male student this year. The experiences were strikingly different....

You are in dire need of a statistics class - you can't draw a conclusion from your two experiences.
If you look back at others' interview experiences, what you will see is that almost all student interviewers (at least at Fuqua) "stick to the script" so to speak. So the advice for applicants is to look at the questions others are being asked and be prepared for those. I can tell you that I was interviewed by a male that was very by the book, so I don't think it's a true statement.

Don't panic!
Are you interviewing on campus? If so, how do you know who your interviewer is?

No, off-campus. Of cause, in some cases it's impossible to know the name and character of your interviewer beforehand. Anyway, thorough preparation is the best solution to all cases.
