Good luck! Hope you get a spot!

I’m sorry to hear that. When did you apply?

Hi all - it was great to see all the posts here after it went quiet for awhile! For anyone still waiting and for those who will check this forum in future years - as I checked last year’s to gauge the timeline, which was very helpful, here’s my timeline of events: 1. Jan 16: email notifying me of my interview Jan 25. 2. Jan 27: As I was not in or near Toronto, my interview was eventually rescheduled to be done via Skype. 3. Jan 29: Skype interview with two interviewers. 4. Feb 7: As per last year’s timeline, the first round of acceptance emails went out the Friday AM after both Saturdays of interviews, and that’s when I received my unofficial acceptance. 5. Feb 10: I received my notice of decision email from SGS on Monday afternoon (first thing in the AM in EST). Official acceptance document on my SGS account. The Welcome Reception is being held Tuesday, March 10th, 5-6:30PM. I won’t be in town but hope all enjoy it who can go! Happy to answer any questions anyone may have. Based on last year, acceptances go out through March, as well as waitlist notifications. Anyone with insight on the continued process, please do post to alleviate anxiety of those in our place in future! Thanks for your contributions, everyone! All the best!

Hey all - how did interviews go for folks? And have any of you heard back? Thanks!

Thank you, @mari.pd! I was of course a bit nervous but did my best to be relaxed and answer well. I think it went fine but who knows - I suppose I’ll find out over the next month or so! I do hope I find out sooner than later but we will see what happens!

Hey! How do you think it went? What’s your general sense of the interview process and purpose?

@mari.pd Thanks for creating this forum! I was about to do the same. I received my interview offer on January 16, and it was originally scheduled for the morning of January 25. As I am not in Toronto right now they offered me a Skype interview, which I completed this morning, January 29. I am hoping I will hear back soon - and that it’s good news!
