Find a process for your answers for different types of questions. And when you're practicing time yourself! I got a little flustered with one of the follow up questions because I only had a small amount of time left, so definitely time yourself. Take a deep breath, it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be! AnnaGrad and pls_SLP 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take a deep breath, it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be! Im sure you did amazing!! I am wondering, does the connection to the interviewer cut off as soon as the timer reaches zero? Or is there time to say bye/thank you kinda thing even after your 6 minutes are up? Thanks in advance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pls_SLP Posted March 12, 2022 Share Posted March 12, 2022 In regards to the Mac MMI interview, do we need our cameras on during the writing component? Seeing as there is a slight dress code, I don't want to show up in pjs at 8am hahah AnnaGrad 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks in advance! It cuts off, But you'll have more than enough time. Clear and concise answers. You get 2 minutes to read, 8 to answer - except for the written which total 8 including reading.

SpeechieAlly Posted March 14, 2022 Author Share Posted March 14, 2022 Does UofA usually send admissions decisions by email or through the portal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My submission confirmation email says that all further communication about my application would be done through the GSMS Portal, so I assume that means the decision as well? Although it would be nice to receive an email letting you know the decision has been made so you can prepare yourself to read it ? This is my first time applying to UofA so I'm just speculating.

For me, I continued to work my part time jobs that I had in the first place because they were already in related fields. I work as a behavioural interventionist and a program leader for after school programs with children. Since my last application, I found another job specifically working with children with autism in a one to one setting in recreation programs and added some volunteer work with stroke survivors.
