Candidatei-me online. O processo levou 4 meses. Fui entrevistado pela Rice University em abr. de 2013
Entrevista
A professor called me on my landline. She first introduced herself, then talked about Rice and then her own research. After a nice introduction, she asked me several questions on my bachelor studies and the research I had done so far. From her questions, I understood that she was trying to make sure that I had a clear conception on my research objectives. Later she explained what should I expect during a Ph.D. program at Rice University. The interviewer was nice and thorough.
