Hi I had my interview as well. Did they also say you’ll hear back in 2-3 weeks?

Yes, and for what I have read they usually say that but could take longer. Was it better for you (the interview)?

It was okay? Some questions caught me off guard and I was super nervous but I'm trying to convince myself that that happens with most ppl. And yes they also told me 2-3 weeks. If anyone gets a decision please report back. Also does anyone know if the results of the department scholarship are shared now or later?

Honestly didn't feel great after, one of the toughest interviews I've had, but still hoping for the best!

I haven't heard back yet, but it's only been a week since my interview. I also applied for the scholarship and I don't know if they take the interview into consideration or if they only evaluate the essay and your application.

How did your interview go? What questions did they ask and how well did you answer?

From my perspective it wasn't great, they weren't aware I was applying for the scholarship, I mentioned it. I am guessing the same questions as everyone. How well? I am not sure, I think the clinical part was ok, but I had many wrong answers.

I am sure it went better than you remember!
The best of luck to you!
Final question though, how did you know your answers were wrong? Did they tell you or did you figure it out on your own after?
Thanks

Thank you! Likewise 😊
I prepared my answers but at the moment I didn’t say what I really wanted to say, that’s why I say the were wrong. They were very polite at all times, didn’t get any feedback.

Well don’t conclude that it was bad. The interviewers are trained not to give any expressions but as far as you interacted with them, showed genuine curiosity and you were yourself. It’s not about correct answers or rehearsed statements❤️

By the way, any good news??
Once you get an offer, do let us know

The interview is part of your assessment for scholarship too.

Not yet, but mine wasn't that long ago. Whenever I get an answer I'll post it.
