okay obviously it will be a little different because it is online, but last year they had us all meet together with the other interviewees and faculty, then each faculty member and interviewees did introductions. After this we were separated into three small groups. One group did an individual interview (asked general interview questions, can't recall specifics though), then another group did a group activity (we had to build something as a team and then explain our reasoning for it, and the last part was a tour. Because they had the main campus and RUC it was all a virtual tour.
I imagine this format could be very similar virtually as we were expected to have the same time frame. I imagine they will place all of you in groups and have you go in breakout rooms, with those who are doing the individual interview sitting in the "main room" and going to one breakout room for the individual interview. Then likely a breakout room for the virtual tour, and some type of group activity in another breakout room.
I would say not to be too nervous. All of the staff are excited for you to be there and to share their love of OT. I spent a little bit of time looking up some of the research faculty have done but I would also recommend you browse through they Facebook, especially for the things they have posted since when the pandemic started.
Honestly if it wasn't for the pandemic I really would be attending there, but when I received an offer for a school within a few hours of a drive (instead of clear across the country) I knew what would be better for me mentally.
