Behavioral Technical
There were two interview rounds. The first interview was a technical screen where they asked behavioral questions and grilled me on my resume. The second round was purely conversational. I think the decisions about who gets the externship are based on your referral/school, since outside of a few BYU kids, there were no kids outside of the T25.

You'll have a quick 15-minute chat with one of the senior folks on the program. They'll want to hear about what you think are the big tech trends and if you're a good fit for VC. If you've worked on deals before and can talk about it, that's a big plus and a good reason for applying.
