Yes it is possible to get more than 1 interview but you will ultimately only get 1 offer.

Anyone has gotten selection test from SP? Anyone knows what is involved as in the scope? I only know that it is a 45 min written test.

Question for those who received email from SP - can you share which course your child received email for?

Thanks

I have heard of a student who was invited for EAE interview at one of the polys, when asked which choice was this poly’s diploma was ranked, the student mentioned that it was the third. Then when the interviewer heard that, he/she did not proceed anymore with the interview, telling the student that they are done with him/her. It doesn’t seem like the institutions know the order of the choices. Can this be possible? Otherwise, if they know, then why bother to invite the student for interview and shut him/her up after the first question, only to waste everyone’s (both they and the interviewee) time?

The institution doesn’t know the order so as to assess each applicant fairly.

While the question seems a bit harsh, and the interviewer a little bit brutal, the interviewee could have tried to be a bit more tactful and put in a few ‘saves’ in his answer. Imagine being at Microsoft for a job interview and telling the interviewer that you actually prefer Mac.

I think they do know - DS and his friend applied for the same two courses (both in the same poly), DS put course A as first choice and course B as the second choice. His friend put course B as first choice and course A as the second choice.


Both were called for their respective first choices and not called even for an aptitude test for their second choices. If the polys don't know the choices, then how to account for this?

Different candidates.

Unless your son and his son have exactly the same results, same CCA, same profile - then it has been assessed that your son meets the profile of the candidate that they are looking for in course A while his friend meets for course B.
