I had the interview in a coffee shop near the area where alumnus lives. The atmosphere was very relaxed and casual. The alumnus had graduated this year and had up to date knowledge about the school curriculum and activities.
The interview started from the typical “walk me through your resume” questions. (I sent him my resume two days before the interview). Then, he asked me to elaborate on some of the experiences that I described. The next parts were “why do you need Booth” and “why Booth needs you”. He also asked to describe in detail my short- and long-term goals. No grilling or particularly challenging behaviour questions.
At the end, I asked questions about his experiences in school and career choices. I wanted to finalize the interview after three questions, but he encouraged to ask more, so I came up with a few additional ones.
Overall, he seemed to be very friendly and even supportive. He told to let him know about the final results of the admission process.
The whole interview took slightly less than an hour.
