Does anyone know whether the interviews are given out after looking at the grades or whether grades are looked at after interviews and then see whether an offer is given?

They’re given out after looking at grades, the interviewers know nothing about u except ur name.

Some people got rejected this year either because u don’t meet the eligibility requirements or the academics. But they’ll have looked at ur grades before u get offered an interview

They will send an offer depending on your grades, so if you don't have them yet you will by end of S6 or predicted too

you wouldn't have got interview if your grades or predicted grades were not enough for them

Hey, just wondering how you prepped for each topic? I've been watching a few videos on youtube and most of them are scenario based. Also what was the MMI like, was it you moving to different rooms or just different booths? Thank you!

does anyone know from previous years how many people were given interviews and how many spaces are actually on g2m?
