Interview
The interview is fairly OK. You will meet many professors in your department of interest. Then you will talk with them one by one. They will show you their research interest and ask about your research interest to make sure that they match with your. They might ask about what classes that you took and what research experiences that you have.

Interview
It was super fast, very nice people. I actually really enjoyed the process because they shared a lot about career growth and how I can grow as a professional at this institution. I would not say the interview process was difficult at all. I had very little stress and they shared some questions with me beforehand
Online submission (upload CV, upload cover letter, upload research papers, upload thesis), one-on-one interview (Can you tell me a little about yourself? ,ask questions from your research field, future plan, possible advisors)
