Thanks!! Are you doing anything else for interview prep? Do you have mock interviews or anything? I'm rereading the stuff I mentioned on my personal statement and looking at questions online but I'm not sure what else to do

I will have a mock interview at school some time soon. In the meantime, I am re-reading the notes that I took when I was reading my books and some casual reading of articles in Psy journals. I was advised not to look too seriously at the possible questions online because most of these are sensational and not truly reflective of the type of questions that would be asked in interviews. I take Biology and Chemistry, so I am going to revise as much as I can, in the midst of coursework deadlines! I am listening to podcasts on the way to school. I think the most important thing is to do whatever we can in the time that we have. It WILL have to be enough under the time and work constraints.

ive looked into the interview for applied and people have said its more like group work ? i cant really remember much and no one seems to talk too much about it so im hoping thats not because its traumatic.

I've seen a lot of conflicting things about the interview, the email confirmation I got said it would be online? That makes me question how much group work there would be - or whether it would be like a group call? Not sure at all :frown:
