I interviewed at Missouri University of Science and Technology
Easy interview
Application
I applied in-person. I interviewed at Missouri University of Science and Technology in Aug 2009
Interview
I am a physics graduate student. I took an appointment to meet the professor. He explained to me about his research. He asked me about my skills. He accepted me as his student.
The interview was part of the PhD application process. I had a virtual meeting with the potential advisor, which felt more like a research discussion than a formal interview. We talked about my previous work, research interests, and how they align with the lab’s focus. No technical tests, just an in-depth conversation about academic background and goals. Heard back in about two weeks.
