It was basically a casual chat, mostly asking about my past experiences with the professor. I had to show I have the ability and understanding of the project. It included some technical details. The process wasn't hard. I got to fully show my abilities.

It was more of an application submission than a formal interview. I think GRE scores and essays are really important, so make sure to study for the GRE and put effort into your essays.

Behavioral Technical Case Group Presentation
The interview process was quite demanding. I first sent in my resume and cover letter. An admin reached out, and soon after, I had two 30-minute phone interviews with research project managers on staff. They asked about my past experiences, some hypothetical situations, and my motivations for wanting to be a fellow and how it aligned with my future career aspirations. Following that, I was invited for an all-day interview at their location. This involved multiple one-on-one meetings with other project managers and faculty. We also completed a written assignment involving data analysis, and participated in a group presentation with other candidates. The final stages included providing three references and completing a written assessment responding to a policy-related prompt. I received a job offer about a week after submitting the final assignment.
