Hi All,

I applied to Broad in round 2 and got an interview invite yesterday.

Can someone who has gone through the interview process please post what to expect and the kind of questions asked? What research should I be looking into?

TIA & Much appreciated :)

Pointers for Interview -
1) Know your resume inside out
2) Short term and long term goals.
The interview was otherwise pretty conversational and interviewer made things pretty comfortable. :)

Let me know if you have any other question?

Last year Broad started rolling out R2 admit decisions from 12th Feb. If that's the case this time around too, then brace yourselves. :wink:
However, after that most of the admits reported were after 19th Feb and went on till 27th Feb.
