Went under review a few days ago. When should I be expecting an interview (if I get one)?

[90convoy]

Interview today! Probably my top choice so I need to kill it!

Are the interview questions based primarily on your resume/application or do they pertain to general questions like, "Tell me about a time you disagreed with a coworker and explain what you did to resolve the situation?"?

It was definitely a mix of the resume generated questions, but more about how those experiences connect to your decision to study law as opposed to explaining exactly what you were doing at those times. I did get a "difficult situation/decision" question. The only thing that tripped me up was them asking me about my undergraduate experience, which for an old guy like me (10+ years since UG) was kind of hard to remember. Overall, it was a great experience and my interviewer was very friendly and kept the tone conversational.

Just had my interview which was right around 20min. Questions are on here and were very helpful! Just be prepared for a "question of the day". My answer to that question was...to say the least, rather odd lol.

My app went UR1 on November 5th, but the CAS Report is still unchecked in my "Requirements List." Has this happened for anyone else? I never received an e-mail notifying me that my application was complete, I just checked the status checker one day and it was listed as under review.

According to the tweet, there will be interview invites going out tomorrow. Good luck to us all!

Well, if it was an answer to an odd question, I'd say you rose to the occasion.

Prevented by board rules from keeping that quote train going, but consider me joined as well. Congrats all! Nice that they give us a pretty wide selection of when to do it.
