Done with my interview. The questions were:

1.Discuss your profile work & responsibilities,
2.How does a typical work day looks like for you
3. Why MBA , why now. What are your post MBA goals.
4. Why Tepper
5. Some leadership experience
6. Something that you will like to share from outside work.
8. What will be your biggest contribution to Tepper community.
9. What do you think you have to gain most out of Tepper community.
10. Any questions for me.

My interview was with Krystal Brooks and she seems to be a nice person with a very sweet voice and you should have no problems understanding her. (if you are planning for a telephonic interview).

My interview lasted around 25 minutes. I asked Krystal about whats the next step and she said they will now review my application many times before coming out with a final decision. She also said that all decisions will be declared together and via email by 20th December.

HTH, best of luck !

Thanks so much for posting this. I just had an interview with Krystal and she asked the same questions. In fact, I think all interviews follow a script because she was taking notes on a pre-printed sheet that appears to have a few lines for each question she asked.

I haven't yet applied, but I requested an interview. Turns out that if I'd ordinarily be invited to interview, I won't receive an invitation because they'll keep notes from this interview on file.
