I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at RSM Co. (Rotterdam) in Mar 2018
Interview
Two sections on the same day. First completed the Assessment section where i had the opportunity to choose between two topics of relating to current events. In my case i could choose between driverless technology trend in the car industry and the rise of Bitcoin. After 20 minutes of preparation i had to give a 5 min presentation to a panel. (notice it is not enough time to research the topic so you should have prepared by reading current events on a daily fashion). After delivery of presentation there are questions by the panel. Be prepared to answer tricky follow up questions. The section lasts about 7 minutes of presentation 8 minutes of questions and some last 5 minutes of feedback. Second section is much more straight forward, with two members of the admissions faculty at RSM. It lasts about 20 min and is based on your run of the mill interview selection questions and the STAR behavioral method.
