I interviewed during Stern Perspectives Weekend. On the actual day of the interview, I was greeted with a folder with information on the groups I had mentioned in my application, and at the end of the day, I received the t-shirt. They interview a lot of applicants that weekend, so my interview was with an alumna, on campus. I had a great experience, no curveballs, she seemed genuinely interested in learning more about me, my goals and how Stern fit in my plans. The whole conversation lasted about 30 minutes, but it flew by! I really enjoyed Stern Perspectives Weekend, and highly recommend to everyone invited to interview that weekend to attend, it was a lot of fun and it made the whole experience a lot easier!
I was admitted a little less than 2 weeks later

I traveled all the way to NYC for my interview. They gave me a Stern t-shirt and a pen to begin with, which was a pleasant surprise. The initial conversation was mostly small talk about the brutal weather in the city at that time, and my flight. As I grew more comfortable she started asking me questions about my resume. This wasn't a blind interview so she already knew my story and my goals. So the questions were mostly aimed at checking the fit to the school- how I would spend my time at Stern, what clubs I would take part in, how I would present myself to the recruiting firms, what would my backup plan be, etc.
Of the 4 schools that I interviewed for, NYU Stern was the most conversational. It was pretty chill and 30 minutes flew by. I asked a couple of questions in the end and that was it.
Got my acceptance call exactly 15 days later.

Very chilled and conversational!
We talked a lot about my staying in NYC, the cold weather and stuff like that to break the ice..
Then she asked a few standard questions about my short and long term goals, where did I see myself working after the MBA and why, what activities I was planning on getting involved with when at Stern..
And then at the end she told me to dont expect an answer until after the holidays!
Guess I got lucky that way.. :)
Overall she made me feel very comfortable and calm, made it a lot easier

The interviewer (Associate Director of Admissions) started off with normal talk: how are you, where are you from, what do you love about this city etc.? Then he asked me about my interests and hobbies (weird I know that he started with extra-curriculars, but I guess it descended from my answer to what I love about the city). We discussed at lengths about my interests and what drives them.
The interviewer had prepared few questions from my resume. So, he asked questions about my job profile and things he was interested in knowing. He was digging very deep and there were follow up questions for each answer. Basically, he was trying to gauge what I do at work and how?
Then he asked why do you need an MBA?
Why Stern?
And finally, any questions for the interviewer.
I did not face a single behavioral question, which seemed odd to me. But yes, the entire interview was very relaxed and conversational. The interviewer was genuinely interested in knowing me better.
The interview lasted a little more than 30 minutes. Please note that I had an off-campus interview in India. If you are interviewing in NY, your interview might be a bit different depending on who your interviewer is. So, read other Clear Admit debriefs and prepare accordingly.
All the very best :)
