💬 Interview Questions

What is one of the specific questions they asked you?

again, aside from the basic why medicine?, why OU?, why DO?...it's all very conversational, situation specific stuff.

What was the most interesting question?

it was almost all very case specific stuff...tell me about this experience, this class, this grade, etc.

What was the most difficult question?

All pretty basic stuff again, but one interviewer did try to falsely call me out...accusing me of secretly harboring desires to really be an MD instead or something like that...and that really offended me, got me a bit riled up, and then put me on the defensive for the rest of the session. Not cool.

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

researched the school itself on its website, SDN, and general lists of common interview questions.

What impressed you positively?

OU is a beautiful campus, the facilities are excellent, and like everyone else on here has been raving about...the students/staff/faculty at OU are genuinely some of the nicest, most sincere, and most accomodating people you will meet.

What impressed you negatively?

I live in the middle of nowhere, I went to undergrad in the middle of nowhere...but let me tell you, OUCOM and Athens REALLY is absolutely in the middle of nowhere. The area is extremely rural and poor...far worse than I was expecting.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

CORE, and just how laid back the interviews really were.

What are your general comments?

The entire morning was spent chock full of information sessions and tours, which honestly wore me out and had me itching to go home even before the interviews hit. But then again, I spent the entire week sick as a dog, and was most ill the day of the interview (go figure), so it was a feat just to not pass out during the day. The interviews themselves were about as laid back as you can get, very very conversational....3 half hour sessions. JUST MAKE SURE YOU COME PREPARED WITH PLENTY OF QUESTIONS TO ASK IN RETURN.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
