inininini Posted March 26, 2020 Report Share Posted March 26, 2020 Hi all, I don't understand what uwo is doing for virtual interviews. Apparently all interviewees begin their interview at 1pm on Saturday, April 4th? How can they have enough people to have a 3 person panel, with one interview spot for 170 people? Do you think this is an indication they'll adopt what UofT Med did? With online recorded responses? What do y'all think?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anon12223 Posted March 27, 2020 Report Share Posted March 27, 2020 I was confused too....the only thing I can think of is maybe it's not a panel anymore, and it's just one-on-one (but that also doesn't make sense). But I really have no idea. The UWO med school interviews are this weekend, and I feel like they'll be doing it similarly to how they're going to do dental ones....so I'm gonna see what happens with that. Kinda scares me tho Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

anonymouspanda Posted March 27, 2020 Report Share Posted March 27, 2020 I'm interviewing this weekend for UWO med. They didn't tell mention anything about interviews being pre-recorded to us. I emailed them asking if there would still be a 3 person panel and they said yes. I'm assuming they'll most likely be doing the same process for dentistry and med but not sure ofcourse!

Thanks for the response (and best of luck with your interview) - it's just puzzling to have everybody at the same time slot. I could see it going to a one-on-one interview, or possibly pre-recorded. There's no way they can have 150 x 3 (3-person panel for each person at the same time slot..) ahhhhhhh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless it's like a conference video call and we're all completely separate but this is still confusing Edit: just looked at Western's med forum....so they still have the same scheduled appointments which makes sense as to why it's still a panel.

CoolJellyBean Posted March 29, 2020 Report Share Posted March 29, 2020 when do you guys think the physiology challenge exam will be? They mentioned that it will be online and written on a later date, however that they haven't finalized the date or process yet. Is there a possibility it will be postponed or will they tell us next week it will be during the interview weekend (however thats very little notice)?

Dental Posted April 4, 2020 Report Share Posted April 4, 2020 Does anyone know what the time limit is for each question? They mentioned it being recorded with set timings and I'm wondering if having answers 2-3 minutes long is appropriate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
