I have an interview this Friday at ARCOM. I have never had an interview with 2 people thus far. Would anyone be kind enough to give me some tips on how to approach this?

the interview is very conversational. they really just want to get to know you. the community member is a special aspect of the arcom interview bc it shows how much the school gives back to the community and the community gives to arcom. don’t stress about it and just be yourself (i know that’s hard in reality but it really is true)

for those accepted, did they give a set timeline as to when you would hear a response? i am interviewing early dec but have another school's deposit due then as well. i am wondering if it is guaranteed to hear back within a week?

they will discuss this with you during the interview. it is not guaranteed to hear back within a week but they follow a pretty good timeline
 
OOS II! I don't want to mess it up since it's my first interview, please provide any insights if you can!

It was very relaxed and conversational! The Fort Smith community is very involved with ARCOM, and one of my interviewers was a community member along with faculty from the medical school. It was a closed-file interview, so the interviewers didn’t know anything about my application beforehand.

Lucky enough to receive an A yesterday! Interviewed 10/28. I do have a question for any current OMS at ARCOM: Where do you study? The library was not looking like a spot you study at regularly and the study rooms looked empty with backpacks that were taking up chairs.

so i personally study in either the atrium or the OPP lab. i’ve found myself being productive there. the library is popular with some students and the study rooms often have students in them. most of the time people will sit away from the doors in the TBLs so they don’t get distracted. they also could’ve been at club meetings if it was around lunchtime. there’s also lots of study rooms in the PT/OT building and i know a lot of people study at home too
 
OOS A back in October. So far, my #1 choice and I have committed.
 
I submitted my application in Aug and I just received an email this morning that my application has been received by ARCOM and it is currently under review. Does anyone know if there are any turnaround time between receiving the confirmation email and getting their secondary
 
@Drlittle I submitted my primary 11/11 and received the application under review email 11/13, received my secondary on 11/19.
 
Okay. Thank you! I hope i get mine soon

Has anyone "Accepted Pending Space" gotten off the waitlist yet?

I haven’t. Hopefully we can after today because of deadline deposits. I checked the thread from last year and those who got the “accepted pending space” got the calls the day right after the first deposit deadlines.
