I had my interview this morning with a second year student and overall it was an enjoyable and conversational experience. Question included:
-Walk me through your resume
-Describe your leadership style
-Talk about a time you were on a team that had conflict
-Talk about a time you received feedback
...and other very behaviorally based questions. After the interview I got to sit in on a class, take a tour and sit for a Q&A session with an admissions officer.
Overall, it was an enjoyable day adn I had a positive reaction to the whole thing.

I had my interview last week off campus with someone from Adcom.
The interview was very conversational, and a you could call it pleasent. She was very kind and made me feel really comfortable.
Regarding the questions asked, some I remember were:
-Why an MBA and why Tuck
-Strengths and Weaknesses
-If she asked my siblings, how would they describe me
-What was I going to bring to the class
It was not a blind interview, so she had already been through my whole application and knew about my goals and professional side.
Hope it helped!

I had my interview yesterday morning with a 2nd year students and majority of the questions were the same ones. She asked me about my work experience and how I managed a team where the members were of different nationalities.
The interview was very casual and she was from Chicago and we talked a bit about the city. She was very friendly and made me very comfortable before starting the interview.
I had my classroom visit and the tour scheduled after the interview and it was a wonderful experience. If you can take advantage of scheduling your interview at Tuck's campus, please do it. The alums were also super helpful.
Let's see now. I'm applying in the January round so I won't get to know till March. Fingers crossed.

Did my interview on Tuesday. Interviewer was bit dry and had poker face throughout the interview. So it's hard to gauge if she understood my story or not.
Typical Questions:
1. Walk me through your resume ?
2. How do you deal with adversities ?
3. What are your long term goals and how will you achieve those at tuck?
4. How do you respond when people approach you with personal problems ?
5. What are you looking to bring to Tuck and how will you contribute to Tuck commuity ?
6. What your legacy will be at Tuck ?

My interview experience was really nice. I think most interviews are conducted by 2nd year students, and it is meant to be friendly and conversational. But I think they really focus on trying to find the people who are actually, really, interested in coming to Tuck and are not treating it like a safety school. The reason is that everything there is student-run (clubs, activities), so they really want people who are genuinely interested and are more likely to be involved in the community. As I said, my interview experience was pleasant but I felt like I could have made a stronger case on the obvious questions (why MBA? why now? why Tuck?) and I only have my preparation to blame for that. Know the school inside-out and know your reasons and background equally well.
Tips for future applicants: Know your application well (Essays, and everything else that forms your story), and prepare well for the general questions (why MBA? why now? Why Tuck?) Also, really try to show them why Tuck specifically is a good fit for you and what you want to do.
Best of luck!

Hi Guys,
Had a Skype interview yesterday. My interviewer was a second year candidate and it was very casual and friendly and more of a conversational interview than just Q/A. He asked me the following question after his primary introduction
1. Introduce yourself
2. Tell me about your community service experience
3. Tell me more about your professional experience (Data analytics and decision making)
4. Tell about a time you performed exceptionally and beyond expectations
5. Tell about a time when you failed and what did you learn from that
6. What are your Long term goals and why Tuck?
7. What apart from education are your looking at tuck?
8. At Tuck we work in study groups. So at end of 2 years what would your study group describe you as?
9. Which communities will you be interested in at Tuck and why?
10. Do you have any questions for me?
It was a fun experience and quite an open discussion.

I don't feel my interview went well because when I was talking, the interviewer had no response or any facial expressions.
And I also sent thank you note to the interviewer, got a only response "good luck with your applications".

Yes it is possible to do an off campus interview at Tuck! I did not know Tuck offered it to US students and I assume this is rare. Of all schools, Tuck really wants you to visit and picture yourself in Hanover. However, being on the west coast and with a very hectic schedule, I could not make it. They were able to accommodate a video skype interview. I assume this is rare, and I assume this is for candidates they are very interested in. But if you really can't make it, do ask as they are able to accommodate.
I did a skype interview with a second year student. Although I recommended you ask for off campus interviews, I would avoid skype interviews. They are extremely tough as its hard to build rapport, you can't hear each other well, and there's always a small lag. I had 5 MBA interviews and this was probably my toughest just based on those facts. Also my interviewer was a bit tough and held a strong poker face. I faced the typical questions of why MBA, why Tuck, ST/LT goals, how do you plan to participate in the Tuck community, tell me a time you've failed. I also got some curveballs such as, why have you not visited Tuck? We spent most of the time really drilling down into the nitty gritty of my resume, going over specific actions and behavioral questions around my bullet points. So definitely know your resume like the back of your hand.
I had no feel as to if I did good or bad. My interviewer was a bit tough plus Skype is not very conducive to such activities. We went for about 45 minutes although the flow was a bit choppy.
In the end, I did receive an offer of admission although I was convinced I had done poorly and due to the interview and not visiting campus which I was convinced had doomed me. I highly recommend an in person off campus interview if possible or go to campus to interview. I don't think most folks would be able to get away with not visiting.
