Admissions interview · Mock round
Choose undergraduate or graduate first, then the school and department; the stage decides what this session asks and in which register.
Your profile and the plan or statement you submitted become the basis for questions, and no experience your documents lack is invented.
Research readiness, funding, and intent to enroll are asked one question at a time, following each answer down with another why.
Every round marks what you addressed and what is still unclear.
Undergraduate and graduate options prepare for admissions; Job prepares for hiring interviews. The available targets and settings change with your choice.
Choose the school and graduate department to connect preparation to your application and research plan. You may also select a prospective professor to help focus follow-up questions on the lab.
Choose one interviewer or a panel to match the school's interview arrangements. The practice sequence and review focus are shown below.
