brokestudentliving Posted March 27, 2018 Report Share Posted March 27, 2018 Does anyone else feel really unsure about their queens interview? It was different than other mmis. Not feeling too good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2hopeful Posted March 27, 2018 Report Share Posted March 27, 2018 I felt bad after my Feb 25th interview but we are all more self critical of ourselves. try not to overanalyze like i have been haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nibbler Posted March 27, 2018 Report Share Posted March 27, 2018 I interviewed on Feb 24th and I don't think a day goes by that I don't re-play moments of the interview in a hypercritical/cynical way. I think this is just part of the process for us. We all put so much of our hearts into this, its hard not to be critical of ourselves. The worst part is that there really is no way to know until May!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egg_McMuffin Posted March 27, 2018 Report Share Posted March 27, 2018 Yup. Came out of it feeling OK. Thought "hey that wasn't so bad!" Was pretty proud I brought my personality to the stations even though there was a couple of hiccups. Then during the 7 hr drive from Kingston to home, I had nothing to distract myself from my ruminations. Now I'm pretty convinced I'm not getting in this year. I have brief, 20 minute periods during the day when I think "wait wait maybe there's hope!". But the rest of my day is filled with "better luck next year. If you can get an interview again, that is..." My point is you're not alone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eudaimonia Posted March 28, 2018 Report Share Posted March 28, 2018 I'm convinced the interview was designed to make us not feel so great about ourselves. Let's not be too hard on ourselves then Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sauna Posted March 28, 2018 Report Share Posted March 28, 2018 This thread is exactly why we put 7:32 - 7:44 in the interview video https://youtu.be/ZKgP223vGQ4?t=7m32s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish it was just a tad bit longer, because I tend to ramble when I tell stories so I got cut off short ... Overall I think I did fine, but I'm just worried its a false sense of security that theyre trying to give us... I'm sure that the MMIs were designed to push us to our limits though, see who doesnt crack haha! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PD23 Posted March 29, 2018 Report Share Posted March 29, 2018 Felt great about the panel! They were so friendly and it was really conversational. MMI was meh, felt great about 4/6 stations but 2 had me a bit stumped. Hoping the panel was enough to compensate an average to below-average MMI Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoping the panel was enough to compensate an average to below-average MMI Oh man, felt the exact same about the panel, and a little worse on the MMIs. I have no idea what the interview weighting is but I'm praying that the panel is weighted equal to the MMI lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
conbrio Posted March 29, 2018 Report Share Posted March 29, 2018 I felt that my MMI circuit was pretty reasonable. On the other hand, I was grilled during the panel where it felt like an interrogation like the one in the Interview Weekend video. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MMI was fair based on what I'd practiced (though not easy by any means); panel was all over the place and I don't think they liked me feelsbadman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peanut.socks Posted March 29, 2018 Report Share Posted March 29, 2018 feeling pretty shite about the MMIs except for one of them. felt that the panel was chill and my personality shined through, however there was a particular question challenging something i said that the interviewers basically took out of context.. so idk if thats a red flag... ugh. has anyone ever heard of people getting interviews at queens 2 or more years in a row? ive only heard a lot of stories of ppl getting interviews one year and then not the next year.. given that it seems pretty random in who gets selected to interview each year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People who don't get reinvited would tend to be vocal about that frustration, but I was invited the 2 times I applied, with one year in between Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last year I didn’t really prep because life got in the way. Needless to say I bombed it. I feel like there was more variety in the MMI station types though. This year the MMIs felt fair although I expected them to be harder. I’d say the panel felt quite similar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eudaimonia Posted March 29, 2018 Report Share Posted March 29, 2018 The tiny thing that threw me off is how 2 people were in the room but both unresponsive to what you're saying. Felt like that was redundant and only added onto the stress that you're being evaluated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IMislove Posted March 31, 2018 Report Share Posted March 31, 2018 Just counting down the days to May. Feel better than last year, but I definitely didn’t do the MMI the way I was imagining in my head sadly. Just happy I had what felt like more structure in my answers, even if I talked fast or didn’t sound like a TED speaker lol. Panel I liked, the faculty member seemed interested at least lol.
