It was a blind interview conducted by an adcom representative. The interviewer knew nothing about me other than my name. After brief introduction, she asked me, “Tell me your story from the cradle to this chair. Along the way, make sure to shed some light on the important decisions you made and the reasons behind those decisions.” The interview lasted exactly 45 minutes. It was more conversational than anything.
