I don't even remember anymore, it was such a blur for me. It happens to a lot of people, and it might just be a case of overthinking afterthefact.

What are the kind of things that concern you right now? i felt mine went fine..but i was a little worried that it was only about 12 minutes long. 15 max! although i was the last interview of the day and one of the faculty members already knew me..so i got the vibe that they liked me and just felt like ending it and getting to lunch. i was def more nervous than i would have liked though..my voice was trembling a bit at first when they asked me why dentistry!!

It happens to a lot of people, and it might just be a case of overthinking afterthefact. What are the kind of things that concern you right now? most of it does seem like a blur to me as well... but im worried that for some of my answers, i didn't expand/explain myself well enough. for example, there was a question about something from my autiobio that i gave such a short, blunt answer to... when i could've said a LOTTTTT more. lol damn nervesss.... got in the way of so many of my answers. i know there's nothing i can do about it now... but i just can't help thinking about it and all the improvements i could've made...

dents2014 Posted March 9, 2010 Report Share Posted March 9, 2010 Did everyone get an email this morning? I misread the subject as "Sorry about your....." FML. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Pepper Posted March 9, 2010 Report Share Posted March 9, 2010 Did everyone get an email this morning? I misread the subject as "Sorry about your....." FML. LOL yes I got that e-mail and I was about to go crazy even before reading that part because I thought e-mail = rejected/waitlisted and phone call = accepted from mcgill. and I have not received any phone call yet. so as soon as I saw the email was from Mcgill, I thought about only one thing...REJECTION...PHEW!!! i'm sure it scared more than just the two of us hahaha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey kjys, I think everyone feels this way too. I think it's because we overthink our interview performance too much afterwards. We all think we could have done better. Why? Because we've spent several days thinking how we could have done better, whereas in the interview situation, you only have a few minutes to answer something. However, you have to realize that EVERYONE also has a few minutes to answer these questions as well, so EVERYONE will think they have missed something here and there.

dents2014 Posted March 10, 2010 Report Share Posted March 10, 2010 @ aclementine: I think you are being delusional, because this is wishful thinking. I could tell the interviewers were really interested in me. Personally, I felt really good about my interview even after looking back. Good luck anyways.

pbure67 Posted March 11, 2010 Report Share Posted March 11, 2010 i thought people asked them and didnt' they say they r going to let us know in the week of march 15? so DAT scores don't count for anything now? i have a feeling the letters of recommendation and personal essay count for more than we think. there's only so much they can garner from that 15 minute interview where i'm sure most applicants did a fine job representing themselves..
