I participated in the full-day experience — went to class in the morning, went on a campus tour, etc. My interview was in the afternoon. They called a group of us up to a separate room, and then one by one the interviewers pulled us into small conference rooms.
My interviewer asked me to tell her about myself, then chose a project at random on my resume and asked me to describe it to her and why I thought it was important.
It surprised me how deep we went into this topic – it was rapid-fire follow-up questions for most of the 30 mins. I had read the harbus guide prior to interviewing and in all honesty, that was only half helpful.
