I shall get Excalibur to come to this thread and comment. (2nd year, IBL stream)

Okay thanks :)

The application process into the IBL stream for school leavers is pretty simple. In August, a form will be released which you just fill in and send back. Can't remember how long it was, but be sure to mention the usual fluff: leadership, initiative, communication skills etc.

Then come the interviews, which are in the week in which your ENTER comes out (after that day). Basically, there are three components if things haven't changed:

- a presentation on the program
- a group interview (~1-1.5hr long)
- a one on one interview (~10-15min long)

The group interview tries to see how you are in a team environment. You'll probably do some teamwork-based activities...try to shine out as the 'leader' of the group as that'll look good in the interviewer's eyes.

The one on one is just to get to know you really. Just answer honestly...

Okay thank you for replying I have some other questions:

- When do you find out if you are successful (i'm really only interested in the IBL stream and i would think about doing another course if I wasn't selected - so would there be time for me to choose my other preference before the uni offers finish?)
- How many people apply and how many people get selected?
- Can you select which company you go to?
- How difficult is the course?
