Hi all, I have heard from different people about the interview for physics graduate school (before the admission). Some say there won't be interviews, while some say otherwise. Anyone can confirm this?
e.bar.goum said:It depends on where you go (which is presumably why you get different answers).
But you want to have an interview - it helps you decide whether the school/program/supervisors are for you.
The purpose of the graduate school interview in physics is for the admissions committee to get to know the applicant on a more personal level and assess their potential as a graduate student. It also allows the applicant to ask any questions they may have about the program and demonstrate their interest and passion for physics.
To prepare for a graduate school interview in physics, it is important to review your application materials and research interests, as well as any specific program requirements. It can also be helpful to practice common interview questions and have a list of questions prepared to ask the interviewer.
The questions in a graduate school interview in physics can vary, but they may include questions about your research experience, academic background, career goals, and why you are interested in the program. The interviewer may also ask technical questions to assess your understanding of physics concepts.
Not all graduate programs in physics require an interview for admission. However, it is becoming more common for programs to conduct interviews as part of the application process. It is best to check with the specific program you are applying to in order to determine if an interview is required.
The graduate school interview in physics is typically conducted by a member of the admissions committee, a faculty member in the physics department, or a current graduate student. It is important to research the interviewer beforehand to familiarize yourself with their background and research interests.
