Interview Discussion 2011

[LupeFiasco]

I would laugh if they post the date on the 22nd.

 

I would laugh even harder if the date posted is the 25th.

 

At least they gave us a relative timeline...

 

lol

 

Ya, you'd think they should have a good idea of when they are sending invites specifically at this point in time. I guess they don't...

[thatonekid]

That would suck getting a UofA reject the day before your UofC interview. Could totally throw someone off their game.

Oh, that would be sad.

[Renoir]

Wow, getting knots in my stomach just out of sympathy for you guys. All the best on waiting this week.

 

Maybe a stupid question, but is the rural U of A pool separate from the 2/3 year pool, or is there some sort of venn diagram I can fit into on that one next year? Or perhaps it's just a special consideration within the 2/3 year pool? Cheers, & let me know if you need beer to calm your nerves over the next few days.

[thatonekid]

Well, as expected, UofA scheduled my interview on the same date (and exact same time!) as Sask. lol.

[Larrivee]

my reesponsssse leeenk eees not verrkiiiinng. I cleeeked like tventeee timesss :s

[ellorie]

Mine either. I emailed them, so hopefully they'll put it online soon.

[thatonekid]

Yeah, the link doesn't work. I'm sure they've gotten quite a few emails about it.

[Addy K]

They updated the portal with this: "Your interview response will be confirmed during the week of February 21st."

 

I guess that means we can't login and confirm until next week?

The link works now. I just logged in.

[Larrivee]

Is anyone writing anything in the "comments" box?

[ellorie]

Nah. I considered it, but then I realized I couldn't think of anything.

[Larrivee]

Nah. I considered it, but then I realized I couldn't think of anything.

 

Haha yeah I don't think I can think of anything either... "thanks"?

[Dr.Gosling]

I didn't write anything in the comments. I have a big smile in my headshot though... hope that's allowed

[ellorie]

My headshot looks weird, but I don't think it's too important how it looks as long as it looks like you.

 

I just wish I could go back and double/triple/quadruple check that I actually clicked yes instead of no

[Lezesh]

How long do we have to respond to the interview invite? I need to get together a decent headshot.

[ellorie]

They said 72 hours.

[slikz]

Ha! Looks like I have a new avatar out of the deal.

[HBP]

Put your suit on for the headshot eh... guess I should do that too. blah

I figured why not? It only takes a minute more to throw on a suit and tie.

Hi guys, the link worked for me. It redirected me to the admissions sign in page (where we went to submit our applications). I just signed in as usual and then I was redirected to a webpage asking for my interview invite response and my picture.

HBP, I'm curious, since you moved to Alberta, where are you hoping to go to school?

 

Congrats again, you've done really well so far this cycle.

[HBP]

Tough to say without knowing about any acceptances. That said, I'm pretty open. The only school that has some sort of location benefit so far is Toronto (close to family), but I'll make a better decision once I see what I get (if any!!!!).

Well, good luck with U of T then. I like your odds with that many interviews. I wish I could allow myself to feel as good about my chances haha.

[HBP]

Last year I figured people with many interviews would be so confident and happy. Now that I'm in that position, I'm just as nervous, just as concerned. I guess you feel the same way! It's funny, but I guess in this process NOTHING is for certain.

[gb35]

Yeah really... I couldn't ask for more good fortune than I've had so far this cycle, but it's still so stressful.
