That should be correct. Only the Tulsa track has a traditional secondary
M2 here, I got mine early nov.

I found it to be reasonably accurateThank you!Check out the SDN interview page for past questions!
Hi Agentcross, I have a question related to your interest in FM and being on the OKC campus. I am for sure looking at Peds and am a little concerned that the OKC campus would not consider me because of my interest in primary care vs a more academic track. Did you encounter this kind of attitude in your interview with the OKC campus? How do you see your interest in FM being a good fit with the OUHSC vs OU SCM? Thank you!
Hey there! If I am understanding your question correctly, you are concerned that OU cares more about academia than primary care?
january. OU moves slowly and intentionally
Congrats! Stats?
I'm guessing said "formula" prioritizes IS applicants? I'm an OOS applicant with average stats which isn't doing me any favors here. Especially without secondary essays to make my case lol!
OOS applicants are weird especially since OU takes so few. I have OOS classmates on the “high” end of the spectrum and some more in line with OUs matriculated states. Wish I could provide you something better than that!
No worries! I appreciate your insight. I knew it was kind of a long shot applying to OU with my stats and OOS status, so we shall just see how it all plays out!
Good luck! I applied OOS to OU last cycle. It's tough, but definitely possible to get in as an OOS student!
Congrats! When were you complete?
Thank you! August 31
check out the OU specific interview feedback on SDN. that should clue you in on what to expect.
OU does a semi-standardized interview. Look at the AAMC core competencies for incoming medical students, that's where they pull their questions. The first half of the interview is all standard situational/behavioral questions like "tell us about a time you failed" or "tell us about a time you experienced a different culture". So if you go through the core competencies, you can get an idea of what questions they might ask.
Congrats! IS or OOS?
Don’t worry. The last interviews for the year are next week. They’ll resume in January!
You're not alone. I opened my email 11/5 the second I received it with two dates available in November. By 2pm when I had time to upload my photo and complete the prereq sheet, the only dates available were in January. More time to prepare anyways!
omg this is so relieving to hear!! thank you!!
I would think so. Research is just one part of a very large puzzle, and in general, it seems like med schools value service much more highly. Get a as much as you can, but I don't think that having limited research will kill your app. Would be curious to hear others' opinions, though!
I imagine some of the top schools in the country may like more research. But for the normal schools a balanced application is probably best. If one doesn't have that much research make it up with more service and more medical experience. Some premed students might go to a smaller school for undergrad and have limited opportunities for research. I think schools want to look at your application and come up with the conclusion that u really want to be a physician and that u care and have empathy for others.
Well-said.
Absolutely yes. The Dean of Student Affairs says multiple times a week that research isn’t even necessary in med school.
second this ^^
Interviews are given on a rolling basis, based on MCAT and GPA, with higher thresholds for OOS
