For my CBS interview, I feel like I nailed the ST / LT goals, CBS contributions and why CBS questions but wasn’t very articulate with some of the behavioral questions. I did a lot of prep, but some of those questions just caught me off guard. For the R1 applicants - did any of you have a subpar interview but still get in? Just looking for a glimpse of hope I guess, haha.

I had the opposite experience. I had a great interview. The interviewer, an alum, said “you’ll have no trouble getting in”. Rejected!

Damn interviewers really shouldn’t say that given they have like 1% influence in the process

Responses to behavioral questions can be coached. So messing those up in the interview isn't a nail in your coffin.

If you presented as someone who is self-aware, CBS knows that they have the resources in the career center to help you present well for recruiting.

I evaluated applications for a decade. Some applicants who performed poorly on interviews were accepted. Some who did great were denied.

The interview is just one component of the holistic evaluation.

Breathe. In your thank you note to the interviewer, you might clarify a response that you wish you had presented differently.

CBS is such a strange interview experience, some of their second-year students are just not competent enough to be conducting interviews.
