Behavioral Presentation
The process was really smooth, and the interviewers were nice and knew a lot about the job. They seemed to genuinely care about the people they interviewed and if they'd do well. Overall, it was a good experience, and I'd say UBC candidates should expect questions like the one I shared, which are based on the school's values.

Technical
I applied online and sent my CV, SOP, transcripts, three recommendation letters from my references and also standard language examination scores. I had one phone interview and got accepted. The interview questions were all technical and about the kind of research I was intended to carry out.

Group Behavioral
It was a group interview with 5 candidates and 2 interviewers. The first 4 questions were the same for everyone, and the last one was more personalized based on my resume and application. It wasn't the most serious interview, but I think it was a pretty competitive selection process. I think they were looking for people with good GPA and passion about the CO-OP program, but I'm not sure if the interview was an important part of their decision.
