Well, I have but not strongly. I am deliberately looking for programs that doesn't just align with my areas of interests but also those that offer all funding without separate applications, and I don't think such is common in the UK.

TangentTam Posted November 25, 2021 Share Posted November 25, 2021 Hello all! I am applying for the immunology program in the US and have finished all the applications. Could you please tell me how to prepare for the possible interviews? I don't know what else I should put in except for the research. And I have no idea what kind of questions they will ask.....It seems that interviews for international applicants will be scheduled online.....

Some schools' interviews will be hybrid (zoom + onsite visiting) For interview at least prepare for explaining your previous projects + behavioral questions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
