I had an interview with an alum from the MMM program (since that’s what I’m applying for). It was a very relaxed interview. I took the train to meet up with the interviewer, and then we walked from the station to a coffee place. During the walk, we talked about basic introductory things, just basically getting to know each other. I actually answered the “Why do you want to go to business school” question while in line waiting for my drink!
When we sat down, I produced my resume and we went through it. Most of the questions were actually based on my experiences and my responses to those questions. I had prepared answers to a bunch of questions (mostly from this website), but since we talked a lot about my past experiences from my resume, the conversation just seemed to flow rather easily, and I never really had to pause and think to answer a question.
When I grasped that format of the conversation, I decided whether or not I would introduce certain parts of my past experiences that I wanted to highlight. For example, I explained how I perform a certain aspect of my job, and he followed up with a potential scenario to see if I had any experience with that. I said that I did, and that we used a tool that I created to address it, instead of simply saying Yes I had the experience.
Hope this helps, but like most of the other advice, just be yourself and be honest.
By the way, the interview ended up being two hours long.
