💬 Interview Questions

What is one of the specific questions they asked you?

Personally applicable: They asked about a personal email in my file regarding my father. (My dad was killed in an accident at the end of August...)
What is your most important life experience?
Why do you want to be a doctor?

What was the most interesting question?

"You are a well dressed man, you seem to be very intelligent, but what's with the spiky hair?" .......... :) ????

What was the most difficult question?

I did not have any difficult questions. I was prepared for ethical, healthcare, political, and shock questions, but did not receive any. I think these questions are asked a lot usually, so you should still be prepared for such questions, but my interviewers were very interested in my activities more than anything else, and we ran out of time.

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

10 out of 10

How did you prepare for the interview?

Undergraduate University Pre-professional Committee mock interview, thought out and wrote out answers to possible questions.

What impressed you positively?

The facilities are nice, I was impressed with the Student Support Services and their genuine care for students. The Online curriculum website with recordings of all lectures is impressive. The new simulation building that will open in January of 2009, with birthing and operation simulators. The modules, (assigned friends/study buddies), with each having 20 students in it and having their own group study room, were very impressive. The mod rooms were very nice, newly rennovated, and have desks, lockers, and internet availability for each student.

What impressed you negatively?

The campus living is very limited (~50 apartments...), and they are small and overpriced.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

The interview is a semi-blind interview, with the 1st half being closed academic file. The interviewers have your activities list and personal statements, but recommendation letters, GPA, and MCAT are all closed. You are asked to leave for ~10 minutes and then return and they continue with any more questions, including, but not limited to, academics.

What are your general comments?

I was not expecting to be so impressed with OU, but I definitely fell in love with it. The interview was much more relaxed than I thought it would be, very conversational instead of interrogation-like.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

No responses
