"What initiated your interest in pursuing a career in the medical field?" Report Response | I was asked this question too
"What insider perspective do you have on the life of a doctor? What have you learned from growing up with a doctor in the family? (If you don't have a doctor in the family, then maybe consider what you have learned about the life of a doctor from shadowing experiences)" Report Response | I was asked this question too
"What is your opinion on the health care reform?" Report Response | I was asked this question too
"Tell us about your siblings. What do you think about “middle-child syndrome?” Do you suffer from it? " Report Response | I was asked this question too
"What is your weakness and how do you think this will affect your performance in medical school?" Report Response | I was asked this question too
"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
"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
"Nothing." Report Response
"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 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. " Report Response
