I received an interview invitation last night (around 11.30 PM ET).
Scheduled a Skype interview for 11/16, but there were very few slots available (only 5 days in November).
alwayswaiting or anyone else, do you know if Skype interviews are blind? I had to upload my resume to schedule the interview so that would hint that they are blind... Otherwise they would just use the document I uploaded on the application Website. I'd be less stressed if you can confirm that they are blind
Thanks!

Mine was in-person and was blind if I remember correctly. Unfortunately I cannot say 100% one way or the other how the Skype interviews are conducted. I do know that all the interviews are very casual in content (dress is still business professional) but they really want to see how you portray yourself, if you can effectively communicate your strengths, and if you are the kind of person who would fit in with the school culture. This is also a good time to address any glaring flaws in your application (like if you haven't taking a math class since 8th grade algebra but plan on taking stats at a local college in the coming months).
I was extremely nervous going into mine since it was my first b-school interview. I fumbled a few places, but my interviewer didn't seem to mind and helped move the interview along such that she could get the info she needed. Depending on the interviewer there might be a behavioral interview question. The interviewers are not there to sabotage you. They want to see you succeed, so be friendly, put honest effort into the interview, know your story, and do your research - make sure you can answer the most common questions, such as "why UNC K-F?", "why an MBA?", "why an MBA
now?", "where do you see yourself in 5 years? In 15?", etc. I'd suggest you find 2 or 3 things that really draw you to the school and be ready to talk about those.
