Guest PeterHill0501 Posted March 22, 2002 Report Share Posted March 22, 2002 Since interviewfeedback.com is temporarily out of commission I was wondering whether there would be any interest in providing similar information in a thread at this site until interviewfeedback.com has been restored? Interviewfeedback.com was extremely valuable to me prior to my interview and I feel badly for those who still have interviews that aren't able to take advantage of this type of information...what does everyone think? If people seem keen, I certainly would be willing to kick off the thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest JD Posted March 25, 2002 Report Share Posted March 25, 2002 I think that'd be a good idea. We could either start a thread for each school of interest here or do it in the respective forum of each school... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest PeterHill0501 Posted March 25, 2002 Report Share Posted March 25, 2002 Perhaps the moderators of this forum could suggest the most appropriate spot.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Ian Wong Posted March 25, 2002 Report Share Posted March 25, 2002 One per forum would probably be the best. A Subject Heading like: "U of T Interview Feedback" in the U of T forum would probably work quite well. Just make sure in your original message that you specify what kind of information you are looking for, so that any potential contributors can get an idea of what information you want.

Guest PeterHill0501 Posted March 26, 2002 Report Share Posted March 26, 2002 Thanks for the guidance Ian. I'm going to kick off the Ottawa feedback thread. My belief is that we should keep the same questions that are posed in the interviewfeedback.com site. That is how I will structure my post and I guess we'll see how people respond.

Guest PeterHill0501 Posted March 26, 2002 Report Share Posted March 26, 2002 Here is the text from the thread I started for Ottawa. For consistency, please feel free to re-use the following text which is essentially a carbon copy of the information from http://www.interviewfeedback.com . I hope this will be helpful... U of O Interview Feedback -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- In the spirit of continuing to enable people to take advantage of the excellent information provided through the http://www.interviewfeedback.com website I suggested starting a thread in this forum which could contain the same information until the original website has been restored. One of the moderators suggested creating a thread relevant to each school...so here it is for Ottawa. To keep things consistent and to potentially enable the creators of interviewfeedback.com to encorporate the information without requiring individuals to re-enter their information, I am proposing to use the same questions. I would recommend cutting and pasting the questions and then editing them with your feedback...here they are: a) Name of school visited Date of your interview (mmm dd, yyyy) c.1) Type of program for which you interviewed: (md, md/phd) c.2) Comment: 1.1 When invited to the interview, were you given options or choices in arranging the date of the interview?
