How did you prepare for the interview?
reading SDN, going over my application, and understanding the answer to; why ARCOM, why DO, and why medicine?
What impressed you positively?
I thought the interviewers were really nice
What impressed you negatively?
the technical difficulties with a virtual interview
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
that I was unable to connect to the Microsoft team and that because that wasn't working I had to do a phone interview and the interviewers couldn't even see me
What are your general comments?
I don't think ARCOM had a good backup for technical difficulties. They mentioned multiple people had issues with Microsoft team and instead of being able to use Zoom or Skype my interview time was cut short and I couldn't even see my interviewers face to face. They were very nice but that aspect was extremely frustrating when I was forced to stay home because of COVID.
What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
I wish they had a suitable back up in case of technical difficulties. I feel like I didn't get the chance that others got because they risked going in person.
