Behavioral Presentation
The first step was a phone call with a panel to check my interest and ask some behavioral questions. The second step was in person, also a panel interview, where they asked more behavioral questions and then I had to give a presentation on a topic they gave me.

Presentation Behavioral
We started accepting applications in July, but campus visits weren't scheduled until the fall. The campus visit itself happened in the fall, and honestly, it was pretty disorganized. We got inconsistent info and had different experiences depending on who you talked to. They didn't get back to us with offers until January or February, and then we finally heard about rejections at the end of February.
