Northwestern MSiA Skype Interview

[datasciencenoob]

Hi Everyone,

I've been asked to interview for Masters in Analytics at Northwestern.
Can someone throw light on following question:
1) General format of interview
2) Highly technical?
3) Resume and past projects based?
4) Will they be checking my maths and programming knowledge. (Scared coz I'm a little out of touch)

This is my first ever interview and I don't want to screw it up as this program is my dream univ.

P.S - I reached out to previous students but no luck there.
P.S - Went through threads of Masters interview but could not find a relevant one.

Hello @datasciencenoob,

How did your interview go? 

[datasciencenoob]

It was purely a 15 min HR interview. No Technical discussion.
Discussed motivation and other non technical skills like team work, leadership, problem solving, why NU, why data science etc.
