How did you prepare for the interview?

Months before = sat down and really ask myself why, what, how, who I am and why medicine is my calling. Read OU's website and really get to know the school and the PEOPLE there. Know why I want to go to OU. Getting in shape..yep the way you look helps with 1st impressions and it also boost your self-confidence (it was one of my resolution anyways). Buy a nice suit (gray or black), a topcoat, the highest ply cotton dressshirt you can afford, tie (i suggest light blue or OU's color) and new dressshoes. You only have 30-50mins to impress 3 people who you have never met before in your life, it is worth every penny. 2 Weeks before = SDN and Mock interviews with girlfriend and older brother who is an onc/ob/gyn surgeon (make sure you get them to prep you for diff. types of personalities, my gf was the laid back interviewer while my brother was the intense-i'm-going-to-eat-you-alive interviewer (stand your ground in a nice way, don't be defensive, be able to back up everything you say, don't falter in your beliefs). Night before = relax, be yourself, congratulate yourself that you have gotten this far, pray & a good night sleep.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you positively?

Hippocrates (all the lessons, Simulation Room w/ Dr. Schmidt, the Gross Anatomy Lab w/ pickled deformed babies in jars (very cool), Classrooms are all wired!

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you negatively?

The MOD rooms (assigned homerooms, yes people, we all get cubbies again like in first grade) are a bit worn down.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Names of interviewers so I can questions about them and get to know them.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What are your general comments?

After reading some negative feedbacks, I guess I was lucky to have laid back interviewers. We actually laugh here and there. But in general, it was a very good experience. I'm very impress with OU. I get the feel that they really care about each individual students. Everyone was very friendly and welcoming.
