i’m kind of nervous for the interview stage. Does anyone know any details about it such as what questions we’d be asked?

26

Does anyone know when their interview day is? I have not receive any emails from the MET.

27

@xxkjxxdzxx I haven’t received my email yet either. Let’s hope it comes soon!

28

i’m going on friday at 4:15. Anyone else?

29

I have it on Wednesday, at 4:15.
@gghappygal Good luck!

Hey guys I just signed up lol but basically I also advanced into the interview stage and I filled out the dates in less than 10 minuets, and still haven’t got an email? Anyone else?

31

@gghappygal If you don´t mind me asking how did the interview go?

32

My interview was today at 5:15

33

Hi did everyone also get another email about updating availability?

34

yeah i did

35

Asked the people in charge for the numbers if anyone is curious and I crunched some numbers using the numbers they gave me:
First, only 30 positions are available in total
At first ~800 people applied/opened the wizehive thing for the internship

~600 finished by the deadline
- thus, 5% chance of landing it at this point

~235 people made it to the interview phase

  • thus, 12.7% - ~13% chance to get in if one advanced into the interview stage.
    3 parts are weighed in the application: the initial application + recommendations, interview, and the paragraph thing.

I apologize for not posting this earlier, but I wish to maintain some [façade of] fairness. I hope that everyone will be evaluated fairly and no one is to be disadvantaged by this information if there is any possible impact.

According to my calculations, if ~15 people are in a group and they do 3 sessions per day, it would take a least 5 days to complete the interviews/go through 235 people.
I know for a fact that there was an interview May 27 and April 2 and it would be reasonable to assume that they would have used the days in between to clean everything up to decide by May 18th [Beware the ides of May + 3 lol].

Thanks and good luck to everyone!

As Julius Caesar said [allegedly], “The die is cast” and the rest is out of our hands.

@daywarped thanks for starting this thread so everyone could talk about this!

haha sorry about the long post; hopefully it’ll help?

Hey has anyone received a decision yet? They said they would email us early this week, and it’s already the end of Tuesday. Aah I’m so nervous I can barely wait any longer

38

I received my decision at approximately 6:50, and was offered a position.
Excited to see who was also admitted !!!

@jaebis0707 Omg congrats!!! :slight_smile: I still haven’t received anything. I hope that doesn’t mean rejection :frowning:
Was there anyone else on the email chain or was it only an individual email?If it’s individual then they might just be sending them out at different times
