I just got done with my interview with a 2nd year. It was super friendly and the interviewer really put me at ease before we started. I think the interview went well. Keeping my fingers crossed. I have a good feeling about Anderson - I hope the feeling's mutual. :D
As for interview questions, they were pretty standard.
1) Walk me through your resume.
2) Tell me about a time you led a team.
3) Why MBA? Why now?
4) Why UCLA Anderson? [we talked a little bit about the students I connected with - it turned out that one of the students I talked to was a close friend of the interviewer]
5) Plan B if my current goals do not materialize
6) Leadership Style
7) What do you do outside of work?
That was pretty much the crux of the conversation we had. He asked follow-up questions to some of my answers, especially about my interests outside of work.
I asked him a few questions at the end of the interview and he shared his email ID with me so that I can reach out to him in the future with any questions I might have. It was a positive experience overall, and to those applicants with interviews coming up, I have just one piece of advice - just relax and be yourself. It's a really laidback interview - treat this as you would any interaction with a current student - an opportunity to get to know more about Anderson and to showcase your enthusiasm for the school.
