💬 Interview Questions

What was the most interesting question?

Since I applied MSTP, 80% of the questions were about my research. I had one ethical question about what to do if a critically ill woman's family comes and what you're supposed to do.

What was the most difficult question?

Probably about my research. One of the Ph.Ds got a little picky about it. Not too much though.
