How did you prepare for the interview?

Spoke to people who had attended the school, read sdn and school's website.

What impressed you positively?

Students were enthusiastic and felt like they made the right choice. The mod system seems very cool, and the fact that everything is online is a huge plus for me. Students get to decide whether going to class or not works for them -- we're adults, so I think it's a good system. Block exams. Sort of progressive curriculum that is updated a lot.

What impressed you negatively?

Oklahoma City is not my favorite city. You can do your last two years in Tulsa, which I would want to do 'cause Tulsa's nicer.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Not really important but they interview a ton of people on each interview day.

What are your general comments?

Interview was 3 on 1 with two physicians and one MS4. It was open-file. One of the physicians and the student were easy-going, but one physician totally grilled me. I know some people get really laid back interviews at OU, but that was not my experience. I thought I did really bad, but I got in. The day started with a presentation by Dr. Hall about the curriculum. I was in the first interview group, so I interviewed and then went on a tour. We saw all the simulation stuff, and the professor who runs it seemed very nice. The students were friendly and claimed that OU was very pro-student -- if you have a problem with something, the administration will listen to you about it. The day ended with lunch and a quick presentation about financial aid and student services (which they have a lot of -- very good, imo).
