What impressed you positively?

"The school appears to truly put the students first and give them every opportunity to succeed. I was also very impressed with the hippocrates system and the patient simulators. Finally, everyone from the school was so nice, interviewers, tour-guides, and amdinistration included." Report Response

What impressed you negatively?

"Lunch was very good, but all of the presentations that we had after lunch were unimpressive. I can't even tell you what they were b/c they were so bad. Also, one of my interviewers was a foreign-born pathologist. I had a very hard time understanding his questions and relating to him." Report Response

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

"OU is a top notch school. I didn't think it would be as impressive as it seemed. Oh, and I have read a couple of negative exeriences in which the claim was made that OU was trying to compare itself to other top-tier programs. Personally, I heard none of that. I only heard them claim to provide the best education that they could, which was impressive. Again, I just recommend that you relax!" Report Response

What are your general comments?

"I really had a good experience. Everyone was so nice, and they went out of their way to make the interview experience painless. I had a hard time with one of my interviewers just because he was hard to understand. Be prepared for anything, but once you are there just do your best and relax." Report Response
