I enjoyed mine! Felt engaging and like the interviewer was trying to help me do my best and bring out good answers

I was told I could expect to hear back in March/April but feedback on the interview (the notes they take) would be sent to us earlier

For me I definitely made sure I gave examples when it came to the 'think of a time when' questions but for me it did feel quite formal so I felt the need to make sure I was technical.
If you're yet to have your interview definitely pre-prepare some answers to each of the strengths and different examples you can give to bulk up your answers!

Does anyone know if there have been any rejections at the online test level this year ?
Just wondering how many people are rejected at each stage ?

I emailed about department allocations, they said will we have an opportunity to state preferences when we hear back - this will be mid feb apparently.

Hi. My interview lasted the full 30 minutes as expected. I have read forums from previous years and do recall there being a comment saying that their interview was 20 minutes. Would you say your answers were extensive? Also any idea when we will find out?
