Interview

Not going to lie, it was pretty typical. I did a lot of talking, which I don't normally do but I felt very much confident in my answers. I did get in and it was a great experience.

Interview

One weekend, stay at the Bentley hotel, very well planned out and engaging. Graduate students seemed happy and productive in the program, which is always a good sign. The program is very competitive with others in the New York metro area, but student housing options leave a bit to be desired. Students can choose between hundreds of labs at MSK and Cornell, which is a huge bonus. Overall 5/5.

Interview Questions
  • Many questions from PIs on previous research and future research interests.

Interview

Micro aggressive: I was told my thank you notes were not using the correct, formal tone and was reminded multiple times that Cornell holds Ivy League status. Unprofessional: During my interview with the hiring manager’s boss, she answered a text/email while I was in the middle of speaking. Writing Sample: submitted and never received feedback yet received feedback on thank notes Unnecessarily Long Process: I had a screening with HR, 1 on 1 with hiring manager, 1 on 1 with hiring manager’s boss and panel interview with lateral team members.

I contacted the PI directly and went in person to chat with them and numerous people in the lab. After all the one-on-ones (lasted about 5 hours total) they talked to my references and I received an offer through HR. They asked me about my background, future goals/interests, and previous projects.
