  1. I'm not sure how you'd do this in a reasonable manner. There's 142 potential faculty members at Northwestern DGP. They said specifically during my interview weekend, Anyhow, I interviewed at DGP this past weekend and the interviews were pretty relaxed. Most followed this scheme: -Discuss your research, I found it to be pretty chill. Nobody asked me any hard questions. I felt well prepared and have presented on my research over and over and over so I felt comfortable with this. Just practice and know how to explain it in a way that captures the common questions and is concise/clear and you'll be fine. -They will talk about their research. Listen to them, ask questions if you have them (and those questions are interesting/show curiousity). They aren't going to expect you to have memorized every detail on all of their publications. In many cases they will talk about work that they are currently doing and is not published. I found I had little time to discuss their work with them so questions was not a huge issue. Seemed to be more of a "here's some of the work being done in the fields your interested in" type of deal. Not a test or anything like that. -You may get a few harder-hitting questions here and/or there. I got 2-3. Realistically, I got one hard-hitter about my grades a particular semester; another set of questions was about some of the more unique difficulties I had to work around in my research and another was about my motivations for the program which I really just had to elabor. The second set were really phrased as to be easily made into my favor, as well. Everyone seemed content with what I responded with and I'm not an amazing interviewer or anything. Numerically you've got better stats than me as well. One publication, two in review/submission, average undegrad GPA, no masters. ~3.5-4ish years of research experience. EDIT: I should add, I was given a list of people I would be interviewing with. This was not until maybe two or three days beforehand, though. I am also domestic, so the interviews were on campus; I don't know if that would make a difference?
