Soo.... how did everyone feel? 

[Dr. Egg]

I am finding it hard to gauge whether I did decently or very poorly

that is very common

[puma88]

Pretty bad I thought. Think I killed my chances.

[nino]

it's hard to gauge ur performance, hindsight is always 20/20 when u reflect back and keep going "damn i totally shoulda said this instead", dun be too hard on urself either way, i walked out of mine feeling like crap cuz i was so sure i said something entirely inappropriate, and it turned out i didn't

[lizlemon11]

I also found it hard to gauge. I felt positively about it initially but now am going through that self-doubt phase. Hard to understand how such lax interviews can be judged and weighted so heavily.

:S

[Spartacus]

I thought the interview went well. I'm happy that I got in some laughs with the interviewers, but as time goes on I definitely worry more and more about how it went. Very curious about how other people thought it went and how they felt they got along with the interviewers.

I thought I bombed my interview. And still got in. Totally hard to gauge it

[freewheeler]

First station felt scattered, next 2 were strong, final station was decent

[insomnias]

I thought it went really well, but the doubt is starting to set in...

[Curiousaboutapps1]

I felt good. I got a lot of positive feedback from my interviewers

[hardknocklife]

I'm curious to know how the MD/PhD interview went for those who interviewed today. Did they mention anything about when offers would be sent out? (the wait is killing me!)

[_ _]

Felt good, like I was able to connect to the interviewers well....but seems like everyone thinks that about UofT so I'm trying not to get my hopes up!

I interviewed February 28th for the MD/PhD and someone received an offer around March 3rd as posted in the accepted/rejected forum. So I guess if they really like the applicant they can expect to hear back in a few days. Not sure if the offers go out in multiple batches or just one for my interview cycle and one for yours. I've just assumed its game over for those in my cycle without an offer haha.

I actually knew someone who went to the first batch of interviews last year, but didn't get an offer until a week (or 2) after the second batch of interviews finished. So don't be discourage, there is still hope

That awkward moment when you think you did well and everyone else feels the same way

[UWOMedSci16]

That awkward moment when you think you did well.......and everyone feels the same way  this is going to be a looooooongggg 2 months.

 

Lol I feel you, I think maybe everyone feels like they did well because the interviewers were so nice...

[EM4me]

First station felt scattered, next 2 were strong, final station was decent

I felt exactly the same way, but in a different order. First two were strong, third was okay, last was a bit scattered and weak imo. Hopefully it was good enough, overall...

[booksandstuff]

How do we rank our preference for campus? Will we get an email?

 

Ditto on the interviews; first felt scattered, middle 2 were strong, last was okay.

You'll get an email within a week asking whether you prefer St. George, Mississauga or No Prefrerence

Has anyone else heard back from the MD/PhD program? I thought they mentioned they would let us know by this week but I haven't heard anything yet...

[bearpuppy]

There's at least two acceptances posted, at different times.

I emailed the admissions office today, but I got an 'out of office' response so I'm guessing we won't hear back until next week 

[Spartacus]

People have already been accepted after the second round of interviews. Any reason to believe they haven't already sent offers to all the applicants they are interested in?
