The interview process was pretty straightforward. You'd have a direct interview with the faculty member you want to work with. If they like you, you're in. There are no HR interviews for the Graduate Assistant position. Mostly PhD students get called for this, unless you have relevant previous work experience with a company.

Confirmed questions4 questions
  • Can you talk about your accomplishments during your undergraduate program?
  • Please elaborate on your final year project.
