Behavioral Technical Presentation
The main focus is on your projects. They ask two common behavioral questions. There are two interviewers. My program is focused on NLP research and matches with their group. This means they're interviewing you because your research background is a good fit, so don't be nervous and just present your work plainly.

Behavioral Technical
My interview experience with NBME was extremely disappointing. What should have been a professional, efficient process turned into a slow, disorganized, and ultimately demoralizing ordeal. Communication was frustratingly delayed at every stage. I went weeks without hearing back, only to receive vague updates, which made me feel like I wasn’t a priority at all. More troubling was the underlying tone of discrimination I experienced. I noticed subtle but unmistakable microaggressions during the interview process. They asked me questions about how I prioritize diversity and cultural sensitivity and awareness but never provided examples of how they practice it despite it being a "company value". Whether it was the dismissive attitudes toward my background or an obvious lack of diversity among the interviewers- it was deeply disheartening to experience such behavior in an organization that should be committed to fairness and equity. Overall, the process was outdated and exclusionary. If NBME truly wants to attract diverse talent, they need to do better—both in streamlining their process and fostering a more inclusive environment. I wouldn’t recommend pursuing opportunities here if you’re looking for a respectful, efficient, or inclusive hiring experience.

There are three interviews in total, with each one being a bit tougher than the previous. They're upfront about how things work and let you know what to expect at every stage. The very last part of the process is an editorial test. They kept me in the loop and I never had to wait more than a week between interviews without hearing something. Be ready for questions about different situations!
