Report Response | I was asked this too

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

The group interview isn't as terrifying as it sounds. Each individual person is asked a different question so that your answers are not compared. It also goes by much faster than you think. As for the individual interview, it was much like the common open-file interview, but there weren't any specific questions from my file, it felt like it was a closed file interview.

Report Response | I was asked this too

Don't stress about the interview here, I had heard scary stories from friends about the interviews here, but it wasn't bad at all. I did something right, cuz I got accepted here :)
