Editor's Notes
- Interview can be taken either by Members of the AdCom, in which case it they will have a good idea of your profile – have read essays – more details of this. Alumni, in which it case it will be a “blind” interview i.e. he/she doesn’t have your application in front of him/her. More casual. Find out beforehand (website, internet) and prepare accordingly. Harvard, NYU, LBS – comprehensive; Kellogg, Tuck, Cornell, Duke – blind.
