The Autobiographical Submission includes detailed instructions for its completion. Failure to comply with the instructions for the Autobiographical Submission will result in disqualification of the application. Approximately 400 applicants will be invited to Hamilton for an interview. The selection of these applicants is based on the composite score which weights equally the grade point average from the Academic Assessment and the scores from the Autobiographical Submission. Because the interviews involve many other people, applicants must attend on the date and time specified.
Applicants are responsible for their own travel expenses.
The applicant's group skills and problem-exploration skills are assessed. In the Personal Interview, the applicant is interviewed by a team which is not involved in the assessment of the Simulated Tutorial. Before an applicant meets the interview team, the interviewers are given the candidate's Autobiographic Sketch. The Autobiographic Sketch is not assessed but serves as a background for the interviewers. The geographical status is determined from the Autobiographic Sketch.
