typically just your resume. That's it. They don't have access to your application so don't see transcripts, test scores, essays or recommendations.

Do they get proposed questions from the admissions team, or is it a free for all?

Tailored to the application like HBS would be, or just generic?

They rate how hot you are on a scale of 1-10 and that’s all the interviewer knows

I accepted a job offer in April to start a few months from now, post clerkship. All conflicts/background check went smoothly etc. Since accepting my offer, the firm has increased their 1st year pay across the board to be higher than my offer was (which was, at the time, what 2nd yeas got). When should I reach out to the recruitment attorney leading up to my start date? Or should I? (Haven't spoken since May) Should I bring up the salary or just assume its higher?

I kind of want to spend some time with family and travel a bit before an mba and if I get notified in Dec, I'd like to use the time I have in between on myself. I'm fine with losing out on pay, I made some smart investments that money is not the primary issue.
