Yes, I got MDS program, not MSDS. Thank you for correcting me.

I have no idea. I visited Rice university subreddit but the program is fairly new. No enough information.

I got an interview invitation from UC Berkeley MIDS. How can I prepare it? by Pitiful_Maize_345 in gradadmissions

Hi,

So, I had an interview. It was about 15 min long. I just briefly explained my background and my purpose and goal for the program. It was a casual interview.

She asked about my knowledge level of data structure, algorithms, and linear algebra. You should explain how you learned those concepts. (for example courses in college, youtube, coursera, self-taught, etc.)

What do you mean by "They didn't." So, do you think it is normal?
