I interviewed for the cadet program, in person, in late 2016. Here's what you can expect.
1) Logbook review (if in person)
2) HR Portion (Tell me a time when? Captain shows up smelling like alcohol... etc)
3) METAR/TAF (I'm a southerner and they gave me a blizzard to decode. I crapped that one up.)
4) Jepp Apch Plate
5) 20 Technical questions (what is induced drag? What is ground effect? Wingtip vortices?)
6) Questions about the company. (I asked about the recent bankruptcy. Seem interested.)
I think now you do a 20 question mini ATP written before the interview.

How long after the interview until they let you know something?
Did you look into any other cadet programs?

I found out the week after.
It's a great program. The college relation team is caring and treats everyone great. I got picked for the ambassador program at my university and have even worked events for Republic outside of my university. Currently, have a class date in late summer.

Got the email yesterday and I was rejected. It feels like asking that girl to prom only to find out she is going with someone else..lol. I felt like my interview went very well. On the bright side is it was some good interview practice. Onward and upward!
