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

I reached out to a professor at TTU about potentially attending grad school there. We exchanged emails, and then I set up a visit to meet with a few professors to see who would be the best fit. I got a tour of the facilities and also met some current students. The meetings with the professors were pretty laid-back, and they seemed focused on finding the right placement for me. It was a pretty chill and low-stress experience overall.
