It was a 30-minute chat where we discussed some behavioral questions, and then I got to ask my questions. I brought my resume. I really liked the conversation and would suggest this process. The experience was good, and the interviewer was easy to talk to.

Behavioral Technical
There were two interviewers. One asked most of the questions. Besides the usual HR questions, he noted the high competitiveness: 'there are 250 applications and only 2 openings.' I heard others who were rejected also got this info, so I'm not sure if it's a subtle rejection signal or a typical thing at this university. The other interviewer tested my foreign language proficiency. We had a good talk with promises, but no follow-up.

It was easy and not very hard. I toured the school campus before deciding to join. I enjoyed going there. I audited a class before making my decision. I would recommend it to anyone, but the tuition is expensive.
