I'm pretty nervous. Not sure how its going to pan out. Apparently they are making me read an article before entering the interview and I assume I have to form some opinion on it....this portion of the interview is intimidating at the moment. Its so close that I am already getting butterflies...

Thanks, I was just wondering about your stats because you already have an interview so early in the cycle. I'm also an international applicant which is why I was curious. Good luck on your interview, and don't forget to breathe

From the US.I'm a Chemistry major and a Math minor. I should be completing my bachelor's degree in May next year by God's grace. My UKCAT score is pretty bad

Hi tsng,
I am also interviewing in Toronto, but on the 4th of Nov. I e-mailed Sandra and she said this is the first time they are trying this for Canadians. I'm in my second year at the University of Alberta, but I am applying with my high school marks.

Anyway, good luck all! Just had my interview. Tried my best but went really fast, too fast.

There are 100 international interviewee for 10 positions...^_^

I'm flying out to Toronto in an hour for my interview. It is tomorrow at 1205. I had no idea they were interviewing 100 people for the 10 spots! I'm pretty nervous about tomorrow now.
