I interviewed last week with a current student on campus and really enjoyed the whole experience. Nothing surprising or any brain teaser questions. Be prepared to talk about your current role, job transitions, and pretty much anything you put on your resume. There are also the typical behavioral questions, "tell me about an accomplishment you're proud of...", "tell me about a time you failed...", etc.

Try not to stress too much, it really is designed to get to know you better and very relaxed.

Guys, I have a question regarding the pre-interview quote. Does anyone know if we are supposed to submit only the quote, or should we also write why we chose it?

It's just another conversation topic in your interview. They ask why you selected it in your interview so you only need to submit the quote and who said it ahead of time.

Do all interviews require a quote to be submitted beforehand? I have an interview in London this week and I wasn't asked to provide one at all.

Are they still sending out interview invites? If not when do we receive a ding/waitlisted email? My application portal says still under review.

Why didn't you keep the email?

The link led to something that had the same look/feel as the portal but I'm not sure if there was also a link available via the portal or not. Have you tried looking?

I received an email yesterday from the person who will be conducting the interview - I'm assuming you got one too. Maybe you could send him/her the quote directly?

Finished the video questions this past weekend. Patiently waiting for that to be updated.
I misunderstood the last question. I hope that doesn't reflect too hugely on my overall application.

How long did it take for everyone’s video questions to appear as “received” on the website? I submitted on Sunday and it’s still not checked off. It only took my GRE one morning to be acknowledged.

UPDATE.

Will be updated in coming weeks as they're still spending a lot of their time reviewing Round 1 candidates.
I applied round 2, so I wasn't sure what to expect exactly.

devilcult54 I'm in the same boat. I don't have any experiences with this so hopefully others can chip in but if I had to imagine, I'd guess it's either going on the waitlist for R2 or getting denied. Won't get my hopes too high up at this point.
