GROUP INTERVIEW!!! - Tips and Advice

Hi guys, so I have my interview tomorrow at one of the universities I applied to for Architecture (York). They have said it will be a group interview however I am not familiar with how it would work.

Does anyone have any tips to stand out? Or has anyone undergone a similar interview style and what did you guys do and what questions were asked?

All the information you have however little or small will be greatly appreciated TYSM

Hey, how was your interview. I'm in the same position you were a week ago as I have mine tomorrow. Could you please share how it works and what types of questions they ask. Any tips would be much appreciated 🙏

Hiiii, so to be frank I did the least amount of preparation you could possibly do but still got offer an offer almost a day after my interview.

I’d attribute that to how chill and informal the interview was, we were essentially split into groups of 6 and one moderator/interviewer in which we had to present our portfolio and briefly mention what we as our favourite. Throughout the session I would say we were asked about 4/5 questions e.g passion for architecture, why York, how we can change architecture (those are all I remember sorry) but nothing was too challenging and I tried to answer every question.

Note: I think my interviewer was also very nice and he spent most of the time talking so we finished quite early
