The interview was very conversational and behavioral. The only question that wasn't a typical MBA question was about my favorite book. It lasted about 30 minutes and was conducted on Zoom even though I was in LA. This year might be different, with MBA senior students potentially interviewing instead of admissions specialists.

It was a standard MBA interview process. I did my interview on campus, but I don't think it's a requirement. Most questions were pretty typical for an MBA program. The interviewer was really friendly the whole time. They're not trying to trick you, just get to know you.
