Guys, would like your opinion on one thing. MIT adcom recommends to provide examples that were not included in other parts of the application. I have included a lot of good team work and leadership experiences in my resume, should not I use them in my interview in case I am invited? What will be your strategy?
Resume contains bullet points and one liners. I am assuming whatever you have provided in the resume won't contain the whole situation and your thought process. Considering that MIT's interview will be mostly behavioral, what they need to know is your behavior and actions during those situations that led to the result (part of your resume). So I think you can focus on most of the things already present in your resume, as that will only be 10% of your whole response. The main story, I assume, won't be part of your resume.
But you should avoid whatever you have mentioned in the mandatory question and the optional question, if applicable as that might contain all the details.
