I bombed it It was not difficult by any means, but I just lost it and made some silly mistakes...

I wouldn't worry too much. Admissions mentioned it's just another data point and that they look at your application holistically

Also made a stupid mistake in a math question and submitted the quizz early, though I had a lot of time left... Can only blame myself!
Hope it'll still go well for us

Best of luck on the behavioral interview everyone!

Realistically speaking how important is the quant assessment. Like if you come from a math/stem background and did really well on the interview but lost 2 of the quant questions are you done?

That's the real question... Imo, there would be some sort of minimum cutoff, and above that cutoff, some sort of weightage w.r.t to the other parts of the application. At least that's how I would approach the problem objectively.

did ya'll really find the test that easy? It was not the most basic question bank by any means imo...

I thought it was quite challenging, not the whole thing but 2 of the questions were quite bad

How long are the interviews usually for?

 

[happysheep]

Can we know who our interviewer is? Is this information available somewhere?

 

[k_t]

Approximately how many people are being interviewed this year? and compared to last year?

 

[k_t]
