"What caused the Soviet Union to fall? This was a little off-the-wall, and I know from the look on his face that he was just testing how I think. It was brought on because I had just told them that my favorite undergraduate class was one in the History of Science department called Cold War Science."

"I love OU, and I really hope they give me the opportunity to attend. It is the only school I applied to this year because my wife and I would like to stay in Oklahoma for a few more years before moving away. The interview and accompanying day were much better arranged than last year. I've said this elsewhere in the review, but I think this part actually shows up first: I'm a reapplicant. I got so far as an interview with OU last year and was outright rejected - not waitlisted. This gave a different perspective on this year's interview day. We got there around 8-8:30, and the day began with a welcome from Nancy Hall (I think she's the Dean of Admissions...?). After that the group of 27 interviewees was broken into three smaller groups. They have three basic things scheduled from 9 to noon. A presentation on Hippocrates (OU's amazing online resource for everything from class notes to class schedules to outlines to test banks to dissection videos. It is awesome!), a presentation of OU's Human simulation room (they have everything from fairly unsophisticated mannequins for practicing intubations, venipunctures, NG tubes, urinary catheters, or central line placements to the very expensive model that reacts to just about everything you do to it (administration of gases, drugs, CPR, defibrillation, intubation, etc.), and finally the interviews. Last year the schedule was such that some people would miss parts of the presentations because they were given while they were interviewing. The new schedule allows everyone to see everything. After the last round of stuff at 11:00 we went for a nice catered lunch in the student union. They had MSII-MSIV students available for questions while we ate. Afterwards there were a very brief presentations on financial aid and student affairs. The last thing we did was go on a tour of the relevant campus buildings. I love OU!" Report Response
