This was a really laid back interview with an adcom. It lasted about 25 minutes and essentially went over my background, why MBA, why Johnson, and my plan for recruiting. Not much more to it than that. I got the impression that they really just wanted to know that I had a well thought out plan to get an MBA and transition to my chosen career path. Interviewer had access to my resume and some notes from other adcom, but had not reviewed my application.

I was waitlisted in December after applying R1. Was invited to remain in the waitlist in March. I have received a call from my waitlist officer since then to ask me typical Qs (why Columbia, why MBA etc), seemed like they just wanted to know if I was still interested.
