Physics Undergrad going for solid state electronics, materials and nanotech. research experiences at JPL, UChicago REU, and home institution. 3.93 major GPA, 6 presentations, 1 paper waiting on arXiv.

Emailed to come to campus for interviews and meetings with grad students

hm that's interesting, I guess I did talk about my past research project a lot and in technical detail, but not like redoing the whole thing. I'm kinda nervous that they didn't ask me all kinds of technical questions lol. I guess it varies from professor to professor but regardless good luck!!

Email from PI asking to set up a Skype interview (CMT)

To the poster below asking about the interview questions, my interview involved some technical questions and a lot of questions about the research project I mentioned in my sop. The professor who interviewed me was a very nice person but his questions challenged me

For the question asked here :- My research is in Networks.

To the poster below, was it really? I had an interview also, and it was really general and mostly professor telling me about the school and research, not really something you could consider "difficult"... what did they ask?

Phone call from POI saying that I'm accepted by department, grad school just needs to approve. PS:- I've already worked under my POI in a summer internship.

To the question below, my field is CMT

Got email from POI, scheduling skype chat next week.

it was a pretty tough interview...
