Is the Kira interview or an in-person interview? Kira is required for each candidate. You can search some questions on gmatclub

Hello everyone, submitted the application and got a video interview mail. I'm assuming the school sends this out to every applicant that submits an application? Any pointers/tips from students who've gone through the process would greatly be appreciated
