2011 Interview Discussion

[quackster]

I refuse to look at U of T forums after all of this...that, and I'm not expecting an invite from them anyways (no invite last year left me with little faith in them)

[Apixaban85]

I think they'll just end up putting some Microsoft Word file on their website and go if your name/number is on the file, you get an interview

[igeorgex]

this is effing ridiculous. there are people who have definitely made the cut-offs STILL waiting. I just can't believe they'd shift to guaranteed interviews to this new evaluation criteria without warning. I'm sick to my stomach because it's like I'm waiting to be judged on my ECs.

I just tried calling and the voicemail is still unchanged

Maybe they took the day off.

[MGB]

If I don't hear back today I'm flipping a desk.

 

+1 Argh

[MGB]

For those of you waiting for UofC, they are releasing invites right now

Congrats on your invite MGB, hopefully it takes a little of the sting out of this whole debacle.

[igeorgex]

that's heart wrenching... queen's take note of how UofC pulls their **** together haha

[neuronix]

I think UofC has half of the amount of applicants.

hahaha. Ya, that justifies this whole Queens debacle.

I've used my F5 key more in the past few days than I have the entire time I've had my computer... hahah

You guys should use some sort of email program (Outlook, Apple Mail, etc.), or Gmail Notifier or something of the like.

 

I know it's hard (believe me, I had a much more antagonizing wait last year), but just try to do something else.

Yeah, I get e-mails on my BlackBerry but sometimes there is a delay between when it enters my inbox and when it actually sends to my BlackBerry. I know it's silly to be waiting around but I'm just curious.

haha same here, every time I see the red light blinking on my BB my heart skips a beat

[OCD]

Did anyone with an invite not receive a second confirmation? So that way we can stop speculating that no activity today as far as e-mails go is a sign of rejection.

[NotYourAverageJane]

This has gone from frustrating to ridiculous to disgusting.

A mass update on the website or by email would do wonders.

[quackster]

they clearly have problems with mass emailing...

[MGB]

It doesn't even seem like they are doing things individually though. Its just silent.

[misskris]

My phone rang with a 613 number and I (hopefully) assumed it was Queens. It wasn't, cause I live in Ottawa and everything is a 613 number. Apparently the waiting is making me a little crazy.

[orangebubbles]

Silence...chirp...chirp...

Yeah emails are pretty hard....

[aKGDH]

Hang in there guys! It's been a rough few days but it's almost over. The number 480 interviewees still stands. Things at Queen's have really changed this year (starting with MMI-style interviews!) so it's not surprising that the number of people they chose to invite has also changed.

I just assumed Queens has an Ottawa branch.

waiting, waiting, waiting.....
