They were mostly EI questions, like introduce yourself, your experience, and how you would handle ethical dilemmas at work

Yea honestly they were super nice but I’m in the same boat. I was thrown off by one of the questions she asked me legit didn’t know a portion of the answer since it was prob the only question with a correct and wrong answer and they didn’t seem to like a question I asked about the program. Was also thrown out we were only asked 3 questions each in my group but they were super nice. Oh well I’ll just take the loss ??

No don’t worry it was definitely a me issue, they were very nice 

Anyone know how the group interview is formatted? Very nervous because it is a group interview and not one on one. Will they each give the applicant a turn to answer the question or is it everyone for themselves ?

They give each applicant a turn to answer the questions and it’s a different question for each applicant.

I’m bummed! They let me know on the 15th that I was missing a transcript & I only just got confirmation my application was complete — any later interview dates, after the 7th?
