It was laid back, one round easy questions that were about history. They knew their history well and wanted to see if you too knew the basics. It did not last long, almost 1 hour maximum and was given a callback a few days later.

The interview process was very straightforward. After being notified by the professor, they will go through what you did in your undergraduate. There was only one interview and the questions were very casual. Most of the time the professors talk.

Behavioral Presentation
It's pretty straightforward, just research the Principal Investigator you're interested in. Don't pretend to be an overachiever if you're not, and generally have a good presentation ready just in case. It usually covers your research journey, academic accomplishments, and research. Sometimes, there's a lab group interview to see if you fit with the team.

Behavioral Technical Presentation
The interview process started with a phone chat with someone from an adjacent department, where they asked about why I was applying, my education, and my experience. Then, there was a panel interview with three people, one from the first round and two new faces. They asked about how I'd use my skills and experience in student-facing jobs, my best and worst job experiences, and the most adventurous thing I've ever done. The final step was a presentation for High School seniors about financial aid options and what they should expect.
