Students generally receive a campus tour, if the Indiana Kelley MBA interview is on campus. Be prepared. Be clear about your prior work experience. Be honest with your answers. Don’t lie because you might not be able to defend it later. Finally, relax. It’s just an interview not the end of the world. The interview typically lasts for 30-45 minutes.

Just had my interview with Jim a couple of hours ago. Great list on this page. Almost all of the questions he asked are listed on this page. Just 2 new ones –
1) Tell me something about your experience in leading teams (I think he asked me because I’ve a lot of team leading pointers on my CV. He even started with “Since, you have managed a lot of teams…”)
2) What motivates you?

As others have mentioned, Jim is really easy to talk to and keeps the conversation flowing. He gives you quite a few chances to mould the interview your way.
One last thing. Although pretty accommodating, Jim is punctual (and rightly so :) ). I kept on talking a bit during the end, and he had to interrupt and remind me of the time. So keep an eye out during the last 10 mins and close nicely (unlike me :P ).

All the very best everyone!
