Research Assistant
Setting up the first interview was good. Things moved fast, about a week after I first got in touch. I thought the interviewers were respectful, attentive, and involved. The interview process was a good chance to get to know the team better and ask anything I needed to.
- What aspects of the lab appealed to you?
Research Assistant
You'll have a short meeting with the principal investigator and some graduate students. It could be on Zoom or in person. They're looking for someone who can connect with participants and has good social skills. It's also important to be clear about your future aspirations so they can see if this lab can support them.
- Can you tell me about your post-college aspirations and how this research opportunity aligns with them?
Research Assistant
For graduate students, there isn't really a traditional interview. Instead, it's a long application process, which is pretty normal for graduate schools. Make sure your statement of purpose is really good and try to find professors whose research interests match yours. Getting a professor interested in you is super important for getting an offer as a fellow and a scholarship.
- Can you tell me about your statement of purpose?
- What about the essay?
