Last day of Interviews

[meandmeorme]

Just wondering, does anyone know when the last day of interviews are at Ottawa?

Not sure. But they had a full house yesterday for interviews...

Now that they are done, how did you all find your interviews??
I'll start:

This was (in my opinion) my worst interview. It was smack in the middle of midterm season (march 5th) and I thought I could get by by merely going in there and being honest and answering off the cuff. I found out after the first couple of questions that this was a bad idea (not the being honest part, but the not preparing answers part --> duh! this is not an MMI). I knew the answers to all of their questions but I left out so much good stuff, I really didn't "sell" myself. The interviewers were very friendly, non-confrontational. Talked about seinfeld for a while, one the the two doctors that was in there ( I had 2 docs and a med student) brought up the "assman" episode and we had a good chuckle over it.

Love to hear how other people found their interviews!!

haha.. there's no discussion here. but I'll share my interview. I had a similar experience as you jake. My panel was fairly warm (2/3 people were very nice), and I loved the first years. Talking to them before I went in really made me a lot less nervous. My problem was, when I left the interview, I felt like I didn't get to tell them much about ME. We spent a lot of time on ethical scenarios with loads of follow up questions. Personally, I don't feel very positive about my interview but it was nevertheless a good practice for next year. Hope everyone else had fun! Now it's the waiting game. Best of luck!

I walked out of the interview feeling really good. But I feel that it could've been due to the fact that the interviewers were extremely nice and accommodating. Even when they were trying to challenge me with ethical scenario type questions, they did so in a very pleasant manner. I felt they had given me so many chances to talk about myself. I really hope my feeling of this interview translates into a positive result I'd love to have a poll set up on May 5th to see how "feeling after interview" relates to results. Good luck everyone!
