I didn't enjoy getting sand and small pebbles in my eyes every time I went outside today Oh Hopeful, you are so keen! Already prepped your signature for the in pending decisions! Speaking of wind, anyone watch the news yesterday and see that crazy tornado in the US? Yikes that would be scary! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr.Gosling Posted April 29, 2011 Report Share Posted April 29, 2011 I just found out I'll be working the morning of the 13th with no access to a computer (I teach swimming lessons)... not sure how I feel about this, but those poor kids are gonna have one distracted teacher PS. Everyone should check out the blog -- Dr. Walker just posted a long update! "Our statistical analysis of the MMI results showed us that one of the stations had significant variance in terms of the scores assigned on the Saturday vs the Sunday.... As a result, that station has been eliminated from the calculations." Wow!! Hope it was one that I bombed... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

milos Posted April 29, 2011 Report Share Posted April 29, 2011 Was thinking hopefully UBC and UofA send out e-mails earlier...having another acceptance would make the day easier...but getting 2 rejections while waiting for UofC would be cruel and unusual. Addition: Cruel because I think I have the worst shot at UofC after how I felt the essay went. Which escalates my fear because reapplying this year can be attributed to tanking it last year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MGB Posted April 29, 2011 Report Share Posted April 29, 2011 Am so curious to know which interview station got axed...especially since he states in the blog it wasn't one of the picture based ones which is what I figured it would be. Every other station seemed pretty normal to me and I felt they went really well, so I'm not thrilled about thinking that a station I felt I did well on being eliminated. C'est la vie I guess.

sparkles3288 Posted April 29, 2011 Report Share Posted April 29, 2011 There was one station on the Sunday (when I interviewed) that everyone I talked to, including myself, had issues with. I'm really hoping it was that one.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sparkles3288 Posted April 29, 2011 Report Share Posted April 29, 2011 It was the one where you were required to describe the Henderson–Hasselbalch equation using only interpretive dance. I thought I did well. No I wish that would have been awesome! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was the only one I felt I majorly bombed. I was stopped after a min and had to have the interviewer explain the prompt again. Afterwards it went ok, but what a gongshow!!

Afterwards it went ok, but what a gongshow!!Without breaking confidentiality (being vague on purpose), was it the one where you had to know how to count/do math?

HBP Posted April 29, 2011 Report Share Posted April 29, 2011 +1, has to be the Sunday one. That one was weird. I don't think we're talking about the same one though TOK... the interviewer had to explain the scenario to me again (after I started answering), and she said she had to explain it to nearly everyone.

Hmm...really. I can't think of any others that needed to be clarified other than the one I'm thinking of (with the counting). Especially since the only other one that was tricky was the picture one, and Dr. Walker already said it wasn't that one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erk Posted April 29, 2011 Report Share Posted April 29, 2011 I'm just going to tell myself mentally that it was "probably my worst station" and leave it there. Keeps me happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No not that one. Another one. Although that one was not the best either, but not as bad as the one I thought was bad, was. Wow, vague! haha.

Larrivee Posted April 29, 2011 Report Share Posted April 29, 2011 I definitely did not have to do math in any of my stations... my I just really screwed it up though.. I was on saturday and the only station I feel I sucked at was the first one cuz the people screwed up and i didn't have time to read the prompt carefully.

*Pixie* Posted April 29, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 29, 2011 My brain refuses to analyze my interview performance. It is currently set to thoroughly investigate all the possibilities that come along with the three possible notifications on may 13th ... the goal is to generate a list of permutations that would closely describe the possible ways my life could be altered. 13 days of winter left till May 13th Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erk Posted April 29, 2011 Report Share Posted April 29, 2011 It's early afternoon on Friday now, so I am going to say exactly 2 weeks until we find out. Plus (or minus?) a few hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it is what I think it is then I had that one first. When I started reading the prompt I was like ...but then I was like "BAM! I know this. I can do it!"

thatonekid Posted April 29, 2011 Report Share Posted April 29, 2011 I was on Sunday and I have no idea what you guys are talking about, math, or otherwise. Not to say there wasn't a messed up station or one involving math just that maybe all the interviews have blended together in my mind. At any rate good on Dr Walker and the U of C for playing it fair and taking care of business.Agreed. 10ch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
