My interview was blind and very straightforward. The admissions officer gave a quick introduction (~2 min) and then asked me to ‘tell my story’. I talked for about 40 min starting from childhood while the admissions officer mostly listened and interjected once or twice for clarification. There was time at the end to ask a couple of questions.
Overall I enjoyed this interview more than others as it was clearly more about fit than hard skills. I was admitted in the EA round.
