Round 3 decision already?

Can anyone tell me what to prepare for interview except the usual questions relating to MBA n chosen school n work experience? Should I do any of the current global affairs, american history, US policies or anything like that?

There were no out of the ordinary questions when I interviewed. That being said, more than at other schools I interviewed at really get into the specifics of why UNC. I made it really clear that UNC was a top pick for me (which it is for personal reasons). Another interesting thing that I saw got the attention of the interviewer is I made sure to hit on a few points that really defined my candidacy and backed those points up with anecdotes in my situational questions.

Has all R3 interview invites already sent out?

Sent from my Mi 4i using GMAT Club Forum mobile app

Not sure about all the calls. I got mine 3 days back. Deadline for scheduling the interview is 1st Mar. So I guess there should still be some days before they finish giving invites.
Best of Luck.

Need advice - Alumni Interview or Skype call.. which is better...

I think Skype Call is much better but only if the interviewer is from the adcom team. Alumni interviews are good too, but I do not think they are directly involved with the admissions process. Its all based on feedback. Suppose the alumni says "Both A and B have excellent communication skills". How do you choose based on this attribute alone? Unless you have seen both in-person, its super difficult if not impossible. The adcom has the power to directly influence your candidature.
But again if the Skype interview is taken by a second-year or an alumni, I would prefer a face-to-face alumni interview, if possible.

Note: This is purely my opinion, its obviously upto you to decide which is better.

There is nothing mentioned, whether the Skype is with Acom or current student... EA & R2 applicants, kindly help me understand whether the Skype was with second year student or Adcom.
