Fleming 168 Posted March 3, 2015 Report Share Posted March 3, 2015 Just had my interview. All three interviewers were very laid back. Lots of laughing and follow-up questions. French question was very doable, even for someone with mediocre French language skills, such as myself. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
new2018 18 Posted March 13, 2015 Report Share Posted March 13, 2015 Well I can say that that is def not how I felt haha. It was brutal Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Belle_MD 133 Posted March 13, 2015 Report Share Posted March 13, 2015 I had a similar experience - felt fun and relaxed, doable French question, as a nurse I found the scenarios doable as well Field87ven 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DDS In Training 57 Posted March 14, 2015 Report Share Posted March 14, 2015 Well I can say that that is def not how I felt haha. It was brutal Don't worry too much, the Ottawa Interview experience differs quite a bit for different applicants. Their follow-ups questions may seem probing at times, but they understand you are under stress and want to see how you would respond. Best of luck at your other interviews!

Heisencat 83 Posted March 14, 2015 Report Share Posted March 14, 2015 It's hard to tell how you did in a panel interview. MrSchwartz3 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Belle_MD 133 Posted March 14, 2015 Report Share Posted March 14, 2015 I agree with you - it doesn't seem fair to me either when everyone seems to have such different experiences in the panel interview. Belle_MD and Heisencat 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Organomegaly 320 Posted March 14, 2015 Report Share Posted March 14, 2015 Hoping that this is really not the case, because at this time, I'm thinking the panel is perhaps not the most fair interview. It isn't fair, it's well-documented in the literature. The reliability is awful. Schools really shouldn't be using panels anymore and should ideally transition to a form of multiple sampling.

Yeah, while my interview was pretty nice and friendly and for sure way easier than my UBC MMI but I can say panel is NOT the best way for choosing people cause it is very judgmental.

doctorfresh 41 Posted March 15, 2015 Report Share Posted March 15, 2015 For my interview, all three interviewers were quite friendly. Some questions caught me off guard so I am not sure how the actual interview went. Do you guys think there is some standardization process that gets implemented like a panel has to rank all applicants they interviewed and each panel can only accept a selected amount? Or is it more subjective, where one panel can give a high score to all candidates and another panel can give a low score to all candidates? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

damha 74 Posted April 1, 2015 Report Share Posted April 1, 2015 Just had my interview today!! The panel was so kind and encouraging. I felt I was really able to connect with them and showcase myself as best as I could! The questions were fairly straightforward but of course one or two tricky ones, but I think I handled them well. Now the wait begins to May 12th!!! Who else can't wait for it?! bananasinpyjamas 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
