Hey! Just had my day yesterday. I wouldn't stress too much about the situational judgment test. My interviews were hard to tell. The two interviewers were very friendly and conversational so it felt relaxing. Good luck to y'all!

Hi bvan95, thanks for the reassurance. Would you mind sharing about your TeamLEAD experience? Was it very competitive like business case?

Congrats on finishing the interview! Would you mind sharing what was the main focus of the interview? Was it mostly behavioral? Also, was it an open or close interview (meaning whether or not the interviewer read your application prior to talking to you).

No, it was very fun actually! Enjoy yourself and work with your team:) Do note that TeamLEAD here is *according to students* 100x easier than the real one haha.

I'm not sure how much I can disclose. It was 2 traditional style interviews. I was asked a lot about myself and my activities but others were asked based more on their research. So I'm not sure what the main focus is supposed to be.

Any advice on what to wear to Applicant Day? The invitation says business casual, but all the forums here say to ignore that and wear a full suit.

The students I met wore suits mostly. There was only 1 girl who wore a dress with no suit. So better suited up?

Are there any social events organized after Applicant Day? I'm flying in for my interview and have nothing else to do in the evening.
 
Hi guys, how is Applicant Day so far? Anyone heard from them for Oct 26 and Nov applicant days?

For those who attended interviews, do you mind sharing what to focus on in the research interview? Were there some challenging questions about the biological sciences, or was it focused mainly on the research experiences you had? Thanks :)
 
Has anyone received any news yet post-Applicant Day?

I went for the 22 Oct interview, so I take it I should know where I stand by the end of next week? It has been a long long month post interview. I had been simultaneously afraid to open my email inbox and at the same time anxiously refreshing it.
( It doesn’t help that everyone kept asking me how the application is going whenever they saw me for the past one year. -_- )

From what I know is they will release offer for MD first for everyone. For those apply MD-PhD they will also get their MD offer first, with the PhD offer comes after if they get it.

how long does it normally take the committee to review apps?

It probably only takes a few minutes to read the files and decide the fate of each applicant.
But consolidating all the responses from the admission committee members will take a few weeks?
They said to wait ~2 months on the interview day.

All I want for Christmas is a response I rather they reject me now so I can at least stop getting a mini heart attack everytime I get an email notification.
(The rubbish mailing list email they sent out yesterday was not cool. )
