The interview was very conversational and consisted of 20 minutes of questions and 10 minutes for me to ask questions. The interviewer only had my resume. The following was asked:
1. Tell me about your journey.
2. Why an MBA now?
3. Where would you like to see yourself improve?
4. What will you contribute to the Vanderbilt community?
5. Tell me about a time you felt accomplished or challenged.
6. How would your peers describe you?
7. What other schools are you applying to?
8. What do you like to do in your free time?

Note:
Received the call late evening (India Time). I was just getting out of my office and was at the elevator when I received the call. I could see that the call was from North Carolina on my ID, but every time I picked up the call I couldn't hear anything from the other side. But Fuqua kept calling, and finally, on the fourth call, I could hear! I'm really glad they kept trying four times! It's just a great feeling to hear about your admit from a human. Definitely one of my most memorable evenings to date! The portal was updated a little after midnight.
