Behavioral Group Presentation
It was a standard graduate school interview process that lasted a full day. I met with current students and faculty, and had dinner with current students. I was able to tour the campus. There were about 7 other students interviewing that weekend. I got the offer two days after the interview. I liked the interview.

The interview process was quite enjoyable. They were interested in my experience with different cultures and sought someone willing to take on any task. My boss was also involved in all activities, so it wasn't like I was doing all the difficult work alone.
