Question 1
What's your role in a team? Why are you interested in the program?
A little over an hour long with one interviewer. There were a lot of questions, but nothing too unexpected. I responded to the interview request email asking if there was anything I should review or prepare, and got a short list of topics that would be covered!

A blend of behavioral and technical questions -- great that the interview was directly with the intern mentor and made the process feel very safe and conversational! Highly recommend applying if you're interested in think tank work and policy research
