[QUOTE="Andrei Radu, post: 222382, member: 36777"] I completely understand your worries around the changing applications landscape - SJTs and VIs used to be the part of applications I dreaded the most as well. The only thing I think makes a major difference for VIs is, unsurprisingly, hours and hours of practice in front of the camera. It can be a uniquely boring and awkward exercise to go through, but in truth it is the only way you can ever get comfortable with the format. Section A and B of the competency interview guide I linked bellow go more in-depth in terms of the particulars of how you should prepare for VIs as well, so maybe also take a look there. As for the number of applications, I think a total of 24 is a solid goal and will definitely improve your chances significantly compared to last year. If you figure out you can actually do more in the later stages of this cycle (particularly as you may find that your researching and application writing speed increases drastically with time), I would of course advise you to go for it; but for now I think this is a very reasonable target.
