Thank you Dr Amina for the tips. I had an PhD Interview last week. I was so nervous felt like I was going to throw up. Good News I got in to the doctoral program so excited. They didnt ask me the questions tell me about your self but pretty much asked the questions in your You tube. They also asked about my methodology and why I have chosen it .

[EriGadi]

This is by far the best video on PhD interviews. I also think your video generalizes across all the concentrations and fields. Overall, this is well done video. Thank you!
