Masters interview was awful
I had my interview for the Masters programs in IR and it was so random and hard??!!
I told them about my background, they didn't ask any questions about things i have done. And then started asking questions about IR theories
Like can you explain what is the dependency theory and the modernization theory (like of course i wasn't prepared to explain this and my answer was awful???). these themes weren't even used on my thesis idea
and then they asked me about the primer minister and presidents name (what difference does it make knowing the name or not?) and "what do i know about turkey?" (what the hell did they want to know with this question)
they also asked about turkey's migration policies (related to what i want to work with but also IDK why would I know that before studying in/about turkey)
i don't know if I should know these things and i'm just stupid but this interview sounded crazy to me. they didn't ask me about my motivations or about any of my experiences or my thesis or why i wanted to study in turkey. i have participated in other masters interviews and it was never like that..
