How did you prepare for the interview?

I participated in a pre-med committee interview, which was extremely helpful! Also, a week in advance, I started skimming through practice interview questions each day to build confidence. I used this interview packet if you want to check it out! http://dept.lamar.edu/biology/preprofessional/Medical%20school%20interview%2071404.htm

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you positively?

The medical students that greeted us and gave us tours were extremely friendly and very enthusiastic about OU. It seems like they all have really enjoyed their experience, so their enthusiasm was contagious and exciting!

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you negatively?

Nothing.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

You won't know what time your interview is until you arrive. It will be at 9:00, 10:00, or 11:00. They will split you into 3 groups of about 10 people, and you will interview at the same time as the other students in your group. There are 10 interview committees, so once your group arrives for the interview, you will each be escorted into a private room to be interviewed individually. This way, you don't have to wait "your turn," to be interviewed. All 10 of you are interviewed at the same time, but in different rooms with different people. ALSO, since there are 9-10 different interview committees, remember that there is a lot of opportunity for variation in the personalities and interview styles of the committees. Even if people tell you their interview was a "breeze," be prepared for a high-stress interview just in case!

Report Response | I was asked this too

What are your general comments?

I like the interview style at OU. The first 30-40 minutes is "blind" (they have no knowledge of your GPA, MCAT scores, or your letters of recommendation) and the last 10-20 minutes is "open." You will step out of the room for 5 minutes while they open an envelope to reveal the "secret" info. I think this seems like a very fair approach to interviewing.
