What program did you apply for?

I got an interview for finance and banking which I'm pretty happy about, even if my chances of getting in are still slim

 

[jrudbud]

I applied for actuarial studies.

I feel you though, I'm excited to have got an interview, but only hopeful that I can actually get the scholarship. Haha

Do we have to RSVP for the briefing day separately?
There's a section for it on the site but nothing to actually click

Congratulations to all those who obtained an interview! A great achievement in itself!

Didn't get an interview for the Engineering ones I applied for. Not too upset as I know there are few opportunities and my application was weaker than it couldve been if I had put more time than it.
Congrats to those who have got an interview

Engineering is far more competitive than business. There may be opportunities in later years should students decide drop out.

Really? Do they offer the coop to students other than year 12 leavers? (and will the criteria be the same, i.e. community involvement)

If a scholar drops out, it becomes a vacancy and other students can apply. Mostly same criteria with more emphasis on uni involvement.

Got an interview in Finance - curious as to the number of interviewees against the number of places up for offer?
And congratulations to everyone else who got an interview~

Looking at last year's thread people think they interview about 3 times as many as they have places for, but nobody knows for sure

How did everyone's interviews go?

I got flooded with behavioural questions at the start and answered a lot of them poorly, also had no answer for "Tell me a time when you were part of a team which completely failed"
It got better after that and I had some solid questions to ask them, but on the whole not too happy

 

[p0llex]

Anybody get an offer?

I got shortlisted which I'm reasonably happy with given my interview wasn't great
