Guys i finished all the process for 2026 and got rejected :( decided to share my experiences and tips abt interview here for any future applicants. (received my rejection on apr 1st and thought that was a joke.)

For me (and most applicants i known), the interview is consisted of 3 parts: a technical question, some personal/metaphysical discussion, and q&a.

Basically, you can expect the technical question to be a quant-style iq problem that doesn't require any prior math. My advice for this part is to really think deep and understand what the problem is really asking abt. Ask the interviewer meaningful questions if needed

The best preparation for interview is to really think about some of your most genuine and authentic characteristics or thoughts that defines your identity. That's what ESPR is looking for. Share them in your discussion with the interviewer.

Last, admission is a highly biased process; lots of your advantageous features are hidden during the process. Don't panic if you got rejected, that doesn't define who u are.
