Application

I applied online. I interviewed at Northwestern University (Chicago, IL) in Apr 2014

Interview

I was overseas so it all happened via Skype. There were 3 rounds of interviews. First one was general to see if I can tie my shoes I guess. The second one was technical and the last was in between the two.
