      Positive experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I interviewed at Yale University

      Interview

      Call with professor. Talk about research. And then getting an offer directly. Not very different from other universities. I think the engineering department is shrinking at Yale though. Seems like some professors that I were interested in left.

      Graduate Student Interview

      Mar 5, 2018
      Anonymous employee
      New Haven, CT
      Accepted offer
      Negative experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 4 months. I interviewed at Yale University (New Haven, CT)

      Interview

      The interview was very odd, the professors didn't allow me to resent, but instead jumped into their interpretation of my work, interrupting and talking over each other. I was made feel very small because my previous school wasn't a well known institution.
