You interview with selected Fulbright associates in your area. I did it at my university with 3 people, one of them being my professor. They were very kind about the questions, and their goal was to submit to the board why you would be a *good* candidate. They work with your university so I would say it isn’t too long or stressful. Some of the questions I felt I didn’t really have an answer for - such as “what was an experience where you felt that it was difficult for you to integrate with German culture?” I had been to Germany before so this was relevant to me.

Interview was held over Skype. The room that the panel of 6 interviews sat in was fairly echo-y. Video sound sometimes became distorted. The interviewers did not show much expression. Questions mostly had to do with what was put in the application.
