How did you prepare for the interview?

This site, Pfizer's Guide to Getting into Medical School, looking at OU's website

What impressed you positively?

The interview was a conversation, not an interrogation. Lunch was fabulous - grilled chicken & cheesy potatoes. The parking lot was easy to find from the map. Even though the lot was getting full, the map did show alternate lots. Med students were informative and everyone was extremely nice - OU is great at focusing on the student.

What impressed you negatively?

Nothing at all!

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

I felt well prepared, and had taken a campus tour before, so nothing really surprised me.

What are your general comments?

My panel was made up of two physicians and a 4th-year. While they didn't grill you here and there weren't many unexpected questions, definitely prepare - no interview is a total cakewalk.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
