Structure Each candidate visits three committees and each committee is responsible for assessing one theme and the student's attributes in 5 to 7-minute sessions for a 20-minute interview. Interview Content Interview questions relate to the candidate's non-academic past experiences, performances and behaviors. Of note, during the pandemic, virtual interviews were conducted where each student was interviewed by 2 committees, each committee asking questions about the three themes.
