I applied through university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at The Johns Hopkins University (Baltimore, MD) in Jun 2012
Interview
I met with the professor and talked about my interest in working in his lab. I talked with the professor about his research. I asked about the projects in his lab and asked about the skills I would develop working in his lab. I got to meet several graduate students that worked in the lab and talk with them about their research.
