MIT PhD Student interview questions

Interviewed with 2 faculty members after getting accepted to the Computation for Design and Optimization Program (CDO) now rebranded and the Masters program in Computational Science and Engineering. Both faculty members were very friendly and asked about my previous research experience and how it's relevant to their work. There was also room for me to ask some questions about their research groups.

It was a good interview. They focussed mostly on my research skills and conceptual knowledge related to the proposed research work. They asked many questions related to experimental work. Then, at the end questions were asked from motivation for the PhD position and future scope after PhD.
