What was the most difficult question?

What is the biggest mistake you have ever made, and how did it change you? This one really got me because I haven't had a "life-defining" mistake. I just told them I have made a number of mistakes, and I try to use each one as a learning experience. But I didn't have a specific example.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you positively?

The school appears to truly put the students first and give them every opportunity to succeed. I was also very impressed with the hippocrates system and the patient simulators. Finally, everyone from the school was so nice, interviewers, tour-guides, and amdinistration included.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you negatively?

Lunch was very good, but all of the presentations that we had after lunch were unimpressive. I can't even tell you what they were b/c they were so bad. Also, one of my interviewers was a foreign-born pathologist. I had a very hard time understanding his questions and relating to him.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

OU is a top notch school. I didn't think it would be as impressive as it seemed. Oh, and I have read a couple of negative exeriences in which the claim was made that OU was trying to compare itself to other top-tier programs. Personally, I heard none of that. I only heard them claim to provide the best education that they could, which was impressive. Again, I just recommend that you relax!

Report Response | I was asked this too

What are your general comments?

I really had a good experience. Everyone was so nice, and they went out of their way to make the interview experience painless. I had a hard time with one of my interviewers just because he was hard to understand. Be prepared for anything, but once you are there just do your best and relax.
