Greetings from Career Cell and EnPoWER, UGAC! After the insightful Grad101 session focussing on LoRs and essays, the Grad Mentorship Series now continues with GRAD102, centered on graduate school interviews. This session covers preparation strategies, common question types, and post-interview steps for graduate applications. The Grad102 session will address key questions like: - How to prepare answers for behavioral, research, and technical questions? - What distinguishes a standout interview performance from an average one? - How to handle follow-ups, rejections, and waitlists effectively? - Tips for region-specific nuances (US, Europe, etc.) and best practices for virtual interviews?
