what are the alumni interviews like - does it get technical?

I got invited to my alumni interview before actually taking my first interview so it seems like it varies

Thanks. I actually just got mine yesterday.

For those who received the alumni interview invitation, does it mean the alumni contacted you directly? Or the initial notification from the faculty member? The mail said, due to time constraints the interview is not guaranteed. I'm quite confused about what this means

Is it over for those who haven't received the first interview invite yet?

For those who received a first round interview invite, may I know your scores on the math assessment?

QwarBorpo · 1/28/25

I don't remember the website giving me my score. However, I could have accidentally clicked off the score page.

(Idk what round I'm in, but I assume you mean people who have received an invite.)

Oh did they ask you quant questions?

Has anyone else not been contacted by the alumni yet? I received the email a couple weeks ago asking for my documents so they could share to alumni for my second round alumni interview, but I have not yet received anything after that.

All bets are off with alumni interview. There is no guideline for these and the questions will be based off your profile and resume. Anything that they feel you should know based off your resume is fair game (fairly or not).

Is anyone still getting invited for first interview? In the last 5-7 days I mean

I had mine recently - I felt good about 2/3 of it. One question I basically didn't know, and I feel bad because it was a fair question.

@chickenguy did you get three questions? I only got two hmm
