Thanks beks,
This is very helpful stuff. Were the questions posed behavioural in nature ? Were there any run of the mill questions (i.e. what are ur strengths / weaknesses / achievement / failures / progression) or were they focused mainly on your application ? Mine is scheduled for 45 minutes, was this the case with you as well ? Or was it always going to be 1.5 hours.
Is the presentation interactive in nature (i.e. does the alumni pick holes in that as well ?) How long did your presentation last ?
Again, thanks heaps for your help. Hope we both get the invites and share a pint at the local in London one day. I owe you one.

I had my interview at the alum's office in central london. It lasted about 1 and 1/2 hours and it was fairly informal. The interviewer must have memorised my application - she didn't even need to look at it during the interview, which meant that her eyes were trained on me the ENTIRE time. She grilled me on all my essays, so it would be a good idea to go over yours again before the interview.
Oddly enough the presentation was the easiest part of the interview. She picked a topic from a list she had, then left the room for 5 mins to let me prepare. Afterwards she said she was mainly looking for evidence that I could structure my response properly. In hindsight, I'd say the best approach is to break yours down into 3 sections - Intro, Main body and Summary/Conclusion. But whatever you do, pick a side and defend it. It's very much like the AWA in the GMAT.
Good luck with your interview!

Aargh!!!
I'd just written a long response to your last post and included useful sites and everything and the **** thing popped up with an error message regarding number of previous posts, spammers bla bla bla.
I guess I'll have to start again...

Mi interview was initially scheduled for 1hr but over-ran by about 20mins. I got the chance to ask questions at the end so in the end the whole interview lasted 1 and 1/2 hours. I'm still not entirely sure if that was good or bad.
I think there was a few pages of A4 full of potential presentation questions and she circled the one she wanted me to work on and left the room. Because I only had about 5mins to preare, I didn't look at any of the other questions on my page at all. My question was not behavioural and had absolutely nothing to do with my application though I suspect she took my background, aplication and answers to her previous questions into account when she picked that particuar question. It appears the questions are quite random but they always require you to take and stand and argue for your position. When I was preparing I visited a lot of sites and some people in previous interviews got questions like:
1) What are you thoughts on tattoos and body piercings?
2) What three things would you put into a time capsule?
3) Fish stock are going down in oceans, do you think we should stop eating fish? Would this impact in fisherman economy?
I'll post the sites I used to prepare as soon as this forum allows it. Apparently until I've posted 5 legitimate posts, I can't include links to sites in my message. Spammers and all that.
