I applied through other source. I interviewed at UCLA
Interview
A quick 15 minutes informal interview with an MIT grad student. Basic interview questions like "tell me about yourself" and questions about leadership roles in community, etc. Very smooth. However, working there wasn't the best since its an unpaid position and you feel like a worker of the lowest status. Typical unpaid intern type of position
El profesor y yo hicimos un contrato temporal de trabajo ya nos conociamos de congresos y compartimos el mismo tema de investigacion por lo que fue facil conseguir la entrevista

I applied online. I interviewed at UCLA in Mar 2025
Interview
One Zoom meeting talking through a prior experience working in a lab setting. Interviews vary significantly depending on what the lab is looking for. You can apply through emailing labs directly, or sometimes they post openings on the undergrad research page.
It went quite well overall, though it wasn't without its challenges. The process required considerable effort and perseverance, but the experience was incredibly rewarding. Each obstacle provided valuable lessons, and in the end, it felt fulfilling to have overcome the difficulties and gained new insights and skills.
