Behavioral Technical Presentation

It was a full day of interviews with about 4 or 5 faculty members. They mostly asked about my research background and my interests in research. They really wanted to see if I was genuinely interested in research and understood what I was signing up for. There was also a dinner with faculty and other grad students, which was pretty chill.
