Candidatura
Ho presentato la mia candidatura online. La procedura ha richiesto un giorno. Ho sostenuto un colloquio presso Arizona State University (Tempe, AZ) nel mese di ago 2010
Colloquio
The process was good, professor ask about my interest in the filed, why do i want to a do a PhD in bioinformatics etc, my btech was in CS, so mainly he was more interested in knowing why am i changing the field. Then he asked me if i had any questions, i just asked him about his latest projects , grants and type of work they are doing.

Colloquio
They flew me out for an on-campus visit. The interview(s) consisted of casual meetings with most of the faculty and some time spent with other graduate students. I'm not sure if it was valuable to put candidates through a gauntlet-style round of 30-minute conversations covering many of the same topics when these could have been done as small group meetings, affording the time for more substantive discussions and experience on campus.

Typically asked very basic things about my area of research interest, interest in ASU, interest in pursuing graduate research.

Colloquio
This was just a phone screen. So the first part was the introduction of the profile and work the team does. Then the interviewers went in to say that it is going to be theoretical ones. All the questions were about the solid mechanics, dynamics, and materials science. They were very nice.

Colloquio
I applied online as many advanced educated Chinese back in China. There is no interview at all. We submitted a package of material including CV, personal statement, transcripts, certificate, GRE score report, TOEFL score report, etc.

No questions asked, just waiting waiting and waiting. The difficulty is ASU is not as I expected from a US research university.
