Hi all,

See there is no thread yet for this upcoming cycle, I know it's a bit early, but figured it might calm my anxiety to connect with others going through application!

No worries. I opened it multiple times. Besides, it'll take you to a "practice" session before the actual interview. Good luck!! =]

Thank you @scribeaholic

BRUTAL. Had connection issues and had the Q's restart part way through answering which threw me off big time. Think I bombed pretty seriously.

oh man, that’s so frustrating! they may very well realize that is what happened though. There was a post on last year’s or the year’s before thread of someone who thought she/he bombed, but that person ended up getting accepted. rooting for us all ?

Congratulations!  That is exciting!

I found it helpful to practice recording myself beforehand.  I became aware of certain hand movements I do when talking and saying "you know" every once and a while when I speak.  I wouldn't have known that if I hadn't watched myself back.  That awareness helped me be mindful of those habits and go into the interview more confidently.
