Attended yesterday’s session but my invite is scheduled for mid-October. How did you know about the info session? Did they send you an email invite for the session only?

Did they say they'll be interviewing the whole month? Attended infosesh but don't have an official invite yet

No I just assumed bc there was like 130 people on the info session and only 10 ppl interviewing w me lol

Edit: I didn’t even know it was possible to attend the info session without an interview invite yet bc my info session information was a part of scheduling my interview

just had my interview today and i think the biggest thing is just to be sure you have a way to concisely introduce the experiences that apply to the questions they ask

i'd say the questions on admit are pretty true to what they asked me, so they'll give u some direction on what stories to pull but setting the stage + the anecdote + the main thesis can lead to a long answer so that's where i'd put my focus
