Quote from: forthefunofit on February 23, 2007, 05:21:40 PMI had my interview today. If you're in Atlanta, don't sweat it. The environment was chill-- my interviewers started by wishing me a happy birthday (okay, that was a little creepy). I probably didn't make a great impression because of my case study, but it was a rather ridiculous article (alas, you can't say such things). They didn't use any of the scare tactics other people have mentioned. Also, there will be about 60 spots this summer. I didn't think to ask how many people they planned on interviewing. I didn't either, though they mentioned that they're planning on 450-500 applications.

Can you guys talk a little more about the case study? I'm not applying, but it does sound interesting. Sounds almost like it was a consulting interview, which frequently focus on case study interviews.
Just got an email saying I've been selected for an interview in NYC. Anyone else get this? I'm pretty stoked. Does anyone know if they supply any kind of reimbursement for the travel costs of the interview?
