OwnerOfTheTARDIS Posted December 10, 2015 Report Share Posted December 10, 2015 I've heard references are primarily used to look for red flags... So they could get you disqualified, but if they're good they won't help you too much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jfdes Posted December 10, 2015 Report Share Posted December 10, 2015 ...Now to find references... Does anyone know how much weight they put on references? Would knowing change the way you choose your references? 8AM is too early 1PM, I am usually too tired after lunch xD 4PM, I am too sleepy then... 11 AM makes sense, yeah. The question is, is it better to be with the people who are on top of things and book early, or with the stragglers with it comes to your own interview haha?

jfdes Posted December 10, 2015 Report Share Posted December 10, 2015 You will be marked and compared to the entire applicant pool.. not just that time slot True, your scores will be standardized against the entire pool. I always still get the nagging fear that if I happen to be thrown together with the best applicants, my scores may suffer as a result lol. Ah well, pointless to worry at this point.

I always still get the nagging fear that if I happen to be thrown together with the best applicants, my scores may suffer as a result lol. Ah well, pointless to worry at this point. There's no way of knowing if the "best applicants" are concentrated in a particular wave etc. And best by pre-interview score? There are way too many variables, so just put it out of your mind Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
notyetapharmd Posted December 10, 2015 Report Share Posted December 10, 2015 Weird. Your AQ should be 33.19 if your aGPA was 90.9, assuming you listed your stats correctly. Is there some chart where you can convert your aGPA to AQ somewhere? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popetopus Posted December 10, 2015 Report Share Posted December 10, 2015 Is there some chart where you can convert your aGPA to AQ somewhere? 2015/16 AQ Calc = 1.58418*(aGPA) - 110.815 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
