What are your general comments?

I realized that this was not the school for me. The students are older and have families, and I found I did not have much in common with the other interviewees. I realized I needed to be in a more diverse school and Oklahoma is not the state for me to be in. My interviewers, however, a DO and a PhD, were very welcoming, very friendly and encouraging. They listened to everything I said and asked follow-up questions so I felt that they were really paying attention to what I was saying, which was great. Although they were very thorough in their interview, and I left the room exhausted, they gave me a very positive impression because they really took their task seriously and seemed very smart and intuitive.
