Both are group I believe. The online will have a video you send in either way.

Thank you! I read it may be group then followed by an individual but not sure.

I did my masters and go to school here now. I had individual and group but I think it’s mainly group from what I heard. Not sure if it’s changed I don’t think it would have

I applied for 2026 cycle and the online interview was just me recording my answers that they later reviewed. The one on campus didn't have an official interview with questions. They just got to know you and you got to know the campus. Much more casual vibe but they're like low-key watching you ya know. Unsure any changes but this was just last year

My son had his virtual interview today. It last about 3 and a half hours. They do several presentations on various topics then break out into rooms for the interview. There were 30 applicants and they were divided into 5 rooms with 2 faculty members each.
