I'm sorry for what happened to you travelling takes up a lot of time and with a busy schedule it can be so difficult. What makes you think you screwed up 2 questions, if you don't mind sharing? I'm sorry you feel like you screwed up your interview! My first question caught me off guard and my answer didn't make any sense. For both questions I went in circles and stumbled on my words. I feel like I didn't even answer the question that the interviewer asked. My answers felt awkward. Vanderb 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't worry about it too much since applicants are rated against each other, and everyone is experiencing the "same" interview. hoping_for_derm, dankmeme and Maggie19 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oro Posted March 26, 2018 Report Share Posted March 26, 2018 @Vanderb Try not to worry about it too much (I know, I know, easier said than done) but I also felt like I majorly screwed up and felt quite nauseous for like an hour after my interview. I think that this is a very common feeling (feeling like you screwed up some questions), but there's nothing you can do now except wait! I am still trying to stop thinking about my bad answers even though I did my interview a few weeks ago, you're not alone in this. Hopefully everything will be positive for everyone of us here and we'll meet each other next year! Vanderb and hoping_for_derm 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
circlecircledotdot Posted March 26, 2018 Report Share Posted March 26, 2018 As someone who interviewed twice previously at Ottawa and thought I knew their style, I felt like this year's interview came completely out of left field and I was definitely caught off guard. I was definitely not expecting my set of questions and thought I handled some of the scenarios rather awkwardly. Who knows what the outcome will be. Good luck to everyone hoping_for_derm, Vanderb and Maggie19 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was so nervous and felt like I was just rambling. Half way through the answer in my head I was like "what am I doing", paused, took a breath, and tried to recover and do damage control LoL. In their heads they were probably like "what is this person doing". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actively keep yourself preoccupied with things you enjoy or that would improve your application next year. If you get bad results in May you'll have deserved time for coping. But don't do this to yourselves now when it could all be premature. Maggie19, Morinphen, Vanderb and 4 others 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LUUO Posted May 2, 2018 Report Share Posted May 2, 2018 Less than a week to go! Any idea what the subject line for an offer of admission may be? I want to know if either a) I celebrate or b) start finishing off the supply from the LCBO I would probably have bought the night before.

Im just hoping we're given more than 24 hours to decide should we refuse multiple offers. I heard around 2 weeks but would appreciate any insight!

In the info session they said you have 2 weeks to make a decision, though they would appreciate if you respond sooner rather than later Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
