Interview Essays

[Larrivee]

Hey! Hope you all are doing well. I am sure there are some of you who have been through Calgary's interview process in previous years, and I am very curious as what kind of essays you all had to write. What kind of prompts were used? Handwritten or typed? Ethical, general knowledge, problem solving, creative thinking?

Thanks,

People are legally obligated not to tell you. They send you an Ethics and Standards Document that explains everything about the interview and how you cannot tell other people specific information about it. If you are caught you could be penalized severely ie.application closed. Some people might be able to drop hints but you probably won't get much, especially since U of C admissions have actually scanned this forum before for many different reasons.

oh, that sucks. Thanks for letting me know!

Well, this UofC page says that they are typed:

That's probably about all the information you're going to be able to find, though.

I did 3 interviews with Calgary and every time it was just like a written version of an MMI station. Your interview prep will be sufficient.

 

They're not essay style by an means, you just kind of write what you'd otherwise say.

Thanks Jamer, that was exactly what I was wondering.

 

Cheers!
