Application to get into the lab and school. Meeting with potential lab mates and professors. Written responses and statement of purpose based on my background and research. Visited campus to see if it was a fit
Me postulé en línea. El proceso tomó más de 2 meses. Acudí a una entrevista en Georgia Tech (Atlanta, GA) en mar 2012
Entrevista
Since this was a graduate student position, you just apply online. After acceptance there is a recruitment event in which new potential graduate students get the opportunity to meet with senior grads/postdocs and advisors. Individual meetings are set up for advisors you are interested in. Generally you will meet with the advisor, and separately with their students. Expect to hear back pretty quickly (~1 week).

Pregunta 1
What is your background in? Have you done undergraduate research? Which instruments are you familiar with?
It was online with the lab PI. The atmosphere was casual and friendly, and I did not feel nervous at all. The interviewee actually talked a lot and it was more of a conversation than an interview. He really just wanted to make sure I actually was interested in the research.

We had multiple faculties interview prospective students interviews back to back. It was a very streamlined process, however very limited time to make a decision. Although the entire recruitment period was planned very well by the staff, the short time window made it very stressful to talk to as many faculties as possible
