The written interview had questions related to the role (professional accomplishments, how would you level up our company, etc.) but for the most part the questions were about high-school and university, including my grades and achievements.

None - did not get that far. Spent way too much on the front end to not at least talk to someone to promote my work experience. They asked about High School accomplishments...but I have been in the workforce for 30 years....how is that even relevant. Don't waste your time.
