Interview experience
The interview lasted about 50 minutes. The interview style didn't include follow-up questions, so it's better to include all your key points directly in your answers rather than trying to hold something back for later.
What the school says about interviews
Interview by invitation
Format: in person, live online interview
Interviews are by invitation, round by round, and every admitted applicant must interview. They last 45 to 60 minutes, in person or online, with alumni, admissions staff or trained second-year students who have seen only the resume.
