easy most professors just talk to you about their research and you can get a clear picture of how happy graduate students are. You are given plenty of time to prepare for who you are scheduled to speak with. The schedule and organization of the interview is very well organized.

In an interview is it a good practice to draw examples for answering situational questions from the most recent and relevant experience or should I draw examples from other previous experiences as well?
