MedicineLCS Posted February 20, 2020 Report Share Posted February 20, 2020 Ottawa makes it clear that the panel has access to your ABS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neuroresearch Posted February 20, 2020 Report Share Posted February 20, 2020 Just to clarify, the only thing that is necessary to bring to the interview is a photo ID? So just a passport should suffice? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the interview package, it says that either a passport or a driver's license (bearing your photo on it) should be good Neuroresearch 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slimduck Posted February 22, 2020 Report Share Posted February 22, 2020 How is french tested if you are applying into the english stream but declared bilingualism? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what I heard they would welcome you and do the majority of questions in English. But then they'd switch to ask you a question in French. So be prepared to answer at least one question in French.

DrOtter Posted February 22, 2020 Report Share Posted February 22, 2020 I also interviewed on Wednesday and from my own experience and everyone else's I talked to that day, most of the panels seemed quite friendly and welcoming. Mine was so sweet I was a tiny bit shocked! Very conversational and they did seem interested in getting to know me. Traditional panel questions (can't say much more). Hope this helps calm your nerves. Try not to psyche yourself out. Have fun and make friends (I did ) and good luck to y'all! wannabemdplease, liveyourdream and jgdiff 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newmy88 Posted February 23, 2020 Report Share Posted February 23, 2020 I have my interview this coming weekend (on the 29th) at 1pm! I'm really nervous, but excited to get the opportunity to share myself. For anyone who's already had their interview, do you have any tips? Even if its not about the interview itself, but for getting there, the signing in process, etc... Anything would be much appreciated to calm my nerves Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They ask you when you register if you are bilingual, and then check it off on your file. I think they test your French depending on who is on your panel, as mine didn’t have any French questions Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MedicineLCS Posted February 24, 2020 Report Share Posted February 24, 2020 @newmy88 There's no point showing up super early (past the 30 minutes) unless you desperately want to talk to other applicants/MS4s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They actually make the process pretty relaxing. Plan to get there 30 min before, and then they'll be signs that tell you where to go - when you get there, you'll have to sign in and turn your phone in (you can do this right before your interview, but I turned mine in immediately so I didn't have to worry about it). They also have racks where you can put your coat. They'll be multiple tables where theres usually 2 MS4 students (one anglophone stream one, and another one from the francophone stream), and you can talk with them and the other students at the table. They'll tell you that 10-15 min before your interview, you have to go sit at another table with the people that are interviewing at the same time as you. Make sure to keep track of time, because I don't think they'll come find you to remind you - at least that's what happened with me. Finally, someone from the panel will come get you at the table and then you start your interview! jgdiff and DrOtter 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SnowmanTheSWOMEN Posted February 27, 2020 Report Share Posted February 27, 2020 Had my interview. The interviewers went off the script on me (I don't know if it's a good thing or not) and I started off kind of shaky. Near the end they were smiling/laughing and again, I don't know if this is good or not, but I feel like they gained interest. Went overtime by a bit. I (obviously) feel like I could've improved on all my answers. But oh well, what's done is done. Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They will test your bilingualism! I declared bilingualism, and spent about 5 min speaking in english (I applied to the francophone stream). Also, they didn't ask me when I registered if I was bilingual, so it looks like people are having different experiences. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrOtter Posted February 27, 2020 Report Share Posted February 27, 2020 I'm kinda curious how representative one's post-interview feelings are of their actual performance and eventual results. It'd be so reassuring if others who got accepted/rejected in past cycles could share some insight on that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many examples of feeling great but rejected and vice versa. Best not to dwell on it and continue moving forward until results come out.

Yup lots of people left their snowshoes next to their bags/luggage while interviewing. Himynameis1234 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
