  1. What are your thoughts on asking POIs you've been in touch with for feedback on applications if you haven't been invited to interview? I had a couple of promising back and forths with some POIs but wasn't invited to interview - of course some nice emails aren't a guarantee of anything, but I would like to apply to these people again and it would be helpful to identify any specific areas I could improve... If you think it's a good idea, when/how would you go about asking for feedback (sooner the better, after people have confirmed acceptances so they're less busy, etc?) / If you think it's a bad idea, why/do you have any other ways of getting specific feedback that isn't from POIs?
  2. Anyone else hear from UCalgary? I think I only saw one person posted about receiving an email for the interview day from the program admin, has anyone else had any luck? (Not looking for POI info, just wondering if all of the invites have been sent considering someone posted that the open house is a week from today!)
  3. What is the difference between an informal interview and a formal interview? And by that I mean, what would be the difference in questions/topics of these interviews? Do formal interviews usually have multiple people from the department while informal are usually one to one? Also, what kinds of questions would you be asked by a grad student in an interview vs a possible supervisor? I get that you might want to ask them different types of questions in terms of labs/working with different people etc, but what kind of information would they be looking for from us?
