They only asked super specific questions about my research experience and nothing else. They only cared about how my experience related to the PI's current projects. They want me to write 2 cover letters and read 3 journal articles before the interview. They didn't say anything about their current research. It was a one way interview.

The interviewers were nice and worked around my student schedule. I'd suggest this to any student wanting to get research experience. It might differ depending on the professor, so try to find one whose research topic interests you.
