There were three interviews: an academic one, a personal one done online, and then a face-to-face one. The academic interview questions changed depending on the department. Since I was applying to computer science and mathematics, my academic interview was about two hours long. It covered math topics like calculus, probabilities, and differential equations, as well as algorithms, data structures, and programming.
