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??

Just making it this far should mean the world to everyone no matter your situation and how you think you did on the interview. We all deserve to be dental students, whether it be this cycle or next. B

That's not really a fair comment. Yes, there's a lot of uncertainty but people can still speculate and anticipate the release of acceptances...

Hey everyone! Hope you are all keeping well! I know this is an extremely stressful time for you all, I just wanted to reach out and say that the 2023s and other students are very excited to meet

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

My guess is that it will be pre recorded

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

Also how would they even organize that when everyone is supposed to be social distancing...like how would they have 3 people doing the interview? 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.

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)?
