There was no interview required or requested for the graduate school program at this school. An application was all that was required. The application consists of a personal statement, GRE (optional), transcripts, and a fee.

Positive experience
Difficult interview
Application
I applied through university. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at UCLA (Los Angeles, CA)
Interview
Statement of purpose, standardized exams, GRE, TOEFL scores, transcripts, strong academic profile, recommendation letters from faculty members, past research experience is a plus, no on-site or phone interviews, teaching experience is preferred for scientific positions. Definitely make sure to have open house campus visits and talk to the fellow graduate students to have a better idea on what to expect for the first few years
They asked about a variety of stuff. Like what’s you previous research experience and how would you tackle different problems. I really liked it as the interviewers are very friendly
Applied through their application. Got an interview about a month later. It was a zoom interview with the director of the department and an associate that I would be working under.
