I am facing an issue on the website of Smeal, I am trying to submit my applications but due to some technical difficulty on the website, cannot do so. Is it happening just with me or others as well?

Hi Narenn & other members of the forum,

Does anyone know how to check last year's interview debriefs?
I have an interview scheduled for 12th and getting to know the last year's debriefs would be helpful.

I'm preparing for the next round (deadline 1 Dec). Shall we discuss more on the video essays part?
What is the purpose of this part?
What kind of questions to be asked?
I have fished around in the forum and found some info about the time & No. questions but haven't grabbed any idea on its purpose & clear types of questions. Does anyone know?

Looks like no one has submitted their debriefs on Smeal's interview debriefs page so you will have to dig in to last years' threads...
