What are your general comments?
The panel interview was a great experience. There was probably a lot of variety among the 30-odd panels that were interviewing, but I really enjoyed talking to my panelists. They made me feel very comfortable from the start, and were very casual about the interview.
💬 Interview Process
What is one of the specific questions they asked you?
Talk about your most memorable/rewarding non-academic experience. (Follow-up questions.)
What was the most interesting question?
Teach us a topic that you're familiar with. (They suggested anything from organic chemistry to electronics - something I'm into.)
How did you prepare for the interview?
Reflected a lot. Looked over my essay and extra-curricular list, as those are the only materials that the interviewers have.
What was the most difficult question?
The integrity series. (1) Define integrity. (2) Describe a time when you demonstrated your integrity. (3) Describe a time when somebody else's integrity or lack thereof impacted you.
What impressed you positively?
The new Life Sciences Centre. Nice big lecture halls. The students seemed nice.
What impressed you negatively?
If there was anything that was slightly negative, it was that I felt like I could express myself as much as I wanted to during the interview. The interviews tend to be very structured and standardized (my interviewers told me that everyone essentially got asked the same basic questions). Make sure that there are some good solid morals in midst of your story-telling of your personal experiences.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
The structure of the interview questions.
