Hey Thanks Zumbido for the experience. I am thinking of applying the same strategy here. I won't be visiting the campus and I have opted for the web-based interview through skype. I am absolutely NOT exposed to video conferencing and I hope I don't struggle to place the cam properly
.
It's good to know that your interview went well and I hope it was fairly conversational. I have scheduled mine with Katie Lloyd way past midnight my time and so I am making a habit of staying up late. To be honest, if it's just about verbally expressing my application attributes, I guess I will be fine. However, I hear that's not the case always, and I am quite nervous.
Thanks again anyway, and wish me luck!
Are you an R2 applicant?
Glad to lend insight! I applied in the November round. I was in the same boat regarding web cams. Kellogg's application has a video component and I was afraid I wouldn't use it correctly. I actually practiced using my camera function via Hangouts in Gmail just to make sure I could tell when it was on! I would definitely ask a friend to set something up through Skype just so that's one less thing to be nervous about leading up to the interview. Check the sound and frame reach so you know where to sit and that your microphone is recording at a reasonable level.
