I'm bored and I thought that you guys might find this interesting. It's a news story about a two-headed baby who had a surgery to remove the extra one. One of my classmates posted this on Hippocrates. Makes you never want to reproduce. You're going to love Embryo-a little depressing 'cause it's full of this stuff.

As far as I know, there's still 35 waiting. I talked to a guy from UCO yesterday who was waitlisted after his Feb interview. I would expect a shift to happen within the next month and another to happen after financial aid statements are released. I can't remember exactly, but I think that you are supposed to let go of multiple acceptances by May 15. Till then you'll have to wait . There's a guy in my class who was accepted to OSU and had already moved his family to Tulsa when, two weeks before classes, he received a phone call asking if he still wanted a seat. It doesn't happen often, but the class is not definatively filled until everybody shows up for the first day of class. I will echo what others have said. We keep a relatively small waitlist compared to many other schools. You have an excellent shot, just keep the hope alive.

Thanks for the interesting link. I look forward to learning more about science behind these kind of events.

Also Congrats to those who recently got in, and good luck to those of you on the waitlist or those of you who plan on applying again next year. Never give up.

For those of you who attended the reapp workshop last year, what should we wear? Something nicer than jeans but not a suit? And, do we need to bring anything with us?
Thanks
P.S. I have moved from the sad phase 🙁 to the angry phase and am now starting the acceptance phase 😳 of my rejection. I have a plan and I WILL get in next year.... 🙂

I'm glad that your outlook is on the up swing. You can take the rejection and be bummed out by it, or you can let it piss you off. Anger can be a great motivational factor. 😡 Every time I go into a test, I try to get angry while thinking of all the time and energy that it took from me to study it. I didn't waste all of that time to find myself not getting what I want. Do a few things to improve the app and try again. I've met several people who applied two or three years before getting in. I definately think that it shows your desire to be physician. Let me know if you need any help. I won't share any personal stats or anything if you PM me. Good luck. I'm confident that you can kick the stuffins out of this process next year.

Amen to that. I don't know how many of the students on our interview day started their stories with "well, the first time I applied..." But hey, they were there, they were doing well, and they were loving it.

good mindset RachelD 🙂 (I'm debating if I should attend the workshop eventhough I'm on the waitlist, what do you guys think?)

hey ad_sharp, nice article, dude did guys see the line where it said the parasitic head is capable of "blinking" and "smiling"?.... I wonder if it is capable of thinking too....... all you have to do is provide nutrients to the brain. Remember the head in tubes from the show, futurama?

Yeah, that's the wierd part. I'm sure that there's a lot of medical ethics buried in that somewhere.

 

[aj114]

I don't know how many of you guys know about the Terri Schiavo case in Florida. But anyways, their argument for keeping her on the feeding tube is that she is not brain dead as evidence that she can "blink." I think your right about the ethical issue buried in somewhere.

Where's everybody? I'm bored out of my mind studying for this Epidemiology test that I have tomorrow. I hate to break it to you guys, but physics and math don't die in undergrad like we all thought. 👎 Phys and Epi are full of it.

 

[Amxcvbcv]

I wore slacks and a nice shirt to the re-app workshop, and that seemed to be par for the course.

It's definitely not the same attire you'd wear to interview day, but I wouldn't go completely casual either.

Vague enough for you? 😛

RachelD, I had to email Lisa Jaques because I didn't recieve any parking directions, or info on where the workshop was being held. The following is what she emailed to me.

We look forward to seeing you next Tuesday, 3/15/05. Parking will be
available in the conference lot on Lottie Ave. This is the same lot
where candidates were instructed to park on interview days. The
workshop
will be held in the Library Auditorium where candidates awaited their
interviews. Dress will be casual and you may wish to being paper and
pen
to take notes, etc.

I can't understand why the admissions office can't get the directions to the conference lot down. Anyhoo, you can get to it by coming into campus via 10th street, turning right at the health department (or in front of the nursing building), and turning left at the next light. You'll be able to pull into an alley way (smaller road behind the village apts) the lot will be on your right by the bus stop. You probably already know where it is, but that might save you a little run around.

Thanks Reddink, I guess I will see you there. I wonder how many of us there will be. Are you going to re-take the cat? The reject letter stressed the importance of retaking it and even gave the dates for registration and late registration for the April one. I'm waiting until August though. I need more than 1 month to study!

Hey Ad_sharp, what kind of physics and math are you guys using?

 

[RachelD]

How do you find Doc's to shadow? And, how did you approach them? Did you ask your personal Doc or what? I'm not sure where to start......

 

[ad_sharp]

Hey Ad_sharp, what kind of physics and math are you guys using?

Mostly we're using electical equations (Nernst, etc) and fluid dynamic equations in phys. Epi is just a ton of boring stats. It's not too hard, but the material is very dry.

She's the person who sets up all of our PCM rotations. She may know of someone in you area who would be good to shadow. When I shadowed, I just called a guy who did family practice and worked in the ER one night a week.

Hey guys,
For anyone waitlisted or rejected, I would seriously urge you to go to the reapplicant seminar and do everything they suggest for your application next year. If you don't go, then next year they will wonder why. Plus, it will give you some good insight what you need to work on. I had a friend go and he said that they meet with you and go over your file.

On a positive note, when I was waitlisted, I signed up to go to the seminar. The day before, I got a call at work telling me not to go because they were mailing me an acceptance letter. At first I thought it was my boyfriend playing a trick on me and it took awhile for the lady to convince me it wasn't a joke. Needless to say, I started freaking out! About a year later, a met the person who had called me and she said that she thought it was hilarious I didn't believe her and still tells that story to people...

So how is the second semester of Medical school compared to the first?

 

[ad_sharp]

The male:female ratio stands at about 50:50. There is some interaction with other students, mostly dental. However, you'll be seeing all of them at the union and library.

 

[ad_sharp]

So how is the second semester of Medical school compared to the first?

So much better than the first. Everybody says that this semester is the hardest, but I don't think it is. There is more material, but it's interesting. By the time the first semester is out, you should have developed a good studying technique. You get familiar to the grind. Neuro is awesome. 👍

howdy sooners, just wondering for you guys who went to the reapplicants workshop today, can you enlighten a philadelphian who couldn't afford the ~$450-500 plane ticket to OKC about the advices the adcom gave you? Thanks a bunch!!!!!

oh i'm writing an essay on the ethical dilemma of application and cessation of life support techniques (i.e. as in the shiavo case) just wondering what are your stances on life support?

They started off talking about numbers. There were 1012 applicants this year (379 residents) with an average GPA of 3.58 and MCAT of 8.60. Those accepted had an average GPA of 3.73 and 10.01 MCAT. Of the 56 Oklahoman re-applicants this year 29 were interviewed, 16 were accepted and 3 are waitlisted.

Other things they consider are: health care experience, knowledge of medicine, communication abilities, maturity, and attention to deadlines.

The suggestions they gave to everybody was: retake the MCAT, remain enrolled in course work, and self-evaluate your community service and health care experiences.

For me it seems the biggest problem was communication. Most of my answers were short and came off as shallow. I didn't come off as sincere in my interest in medicine.

Hope this helps!

Okay, I just got back from the workshop. There was some really good information there, basically it boiled down to spend this year doing something to improve your application. The doctor who went over my file kept telling my group not to spend the next year "bicycling in Europe".

First, they keep your application from this year and will use it in evaluating you next year if you apply again. So, make sure that your application is different, different personal statement and different letters of recommendation.

It was overly stressed that you shadow some kind of family practice doc or pediatrician and volunteer in an ER to get healthcare exposure. You may have other experience, but I promise you after what I heard today this is the ONLY kind of healthcare experience that they care about.

Retake the MCAT. The theory is that if you are not retaking it you are not dedicated to working at getting into medical school. Apparently, once you decide to become a physician you should take the MCAT EVERYTIME it is offered. This example was given, if you take it in April and get a 10 take it again in August. Ten is the average score of the accepted applicants so you wouldn't want to settle for average right?
I'm not retaking it, and was told that next year they will ask me specifically why I didn't try to improve my score, even though my score is already above average!

Go through the premed committee somewhere. Even if your school doesn't have one, convince some premed committee to give you a mock interview a letter, and if you don't they will question why you didn't.

This was stressed to my small group: GPA, MCAT, interview. Each is worth a third. As far as GPA goes, all they really care about are the science courses. Things like genetics, organic chem, vert anatomy, physiology. If you have a C in any such classes, retake them and take some upper level science classes and get As to prove that you will be able to handle the first 2 years in medical school. MCAT- well apparently your supposed to take it 25 times. Interview - the advice was to go through the premed committee, read books on how to interview, tell the interviewers what they want to hear (and that is that you want to practice family medicine here in Oklahoma), read the newspapers and now the basics of healthcare such as what is an HMO, tort reform, etc. Apparently a lot of people are way too nervous in their interview.

Umm, I'm trying to remember what else was said. Why do you want to be a doctor? They don't want to hear that you will love doing it. They want to hear how you will benefit others by being a physician. They like to see community service to prove that you are all about helping others. They do not care about research, and don't want to hear that you are interested in research.

Boils down to a cookie cutter formula - As and Bs in organic, genetics, etc., 6 month volunteer in ER, dedication to family practice, premed committee recommendation, be confident and take a valium before your interview = acceptance at OU.

 

[Reddink]

I have to pretty much agree with what Smitty said. Even though Dr. Hall said that there is no cookie cutter way to get into medical school, the small group discussions really contradicted that. One thing that I don't understand is the retaking the MCAT everytime it is offered. Dr. Hall also said that starting next April they will only have computer MCAT tests. I really don't want to take it on the computer because I like to write, mark, and cross off answers on my test. I guess I better do really good this August because I know I will bomb the computerized one. (Side-note: Has anybody taken a computerized MCAT. How is it taken, can you cross off answers? How did your score compare to when you took the paper and pencil version?)

Another thing that they stressed was apply early. Don't try to wait until the last minute and try to ask for an extension on the deadline. They also gave a lot of options for classes that you can take if you are graduating in May. you can either re-take the classes you didn't do well in, get a traditional masters, or you can get an MPH at OU (or MHA, etc.).

RachelD, I also saw that you are interested in shadowing some doctors to gain some experience. If you live in the Norman area, I know of a program at the Norman Clinic during the summer where you can shadow 8 different doctors over a 2 month period. I was involved in it a couple of years ago and my interviewers really liked it. Just let me know if you are interested and would like some more information. I believe the deadline to apply is late April or early May so let me know soon. Just respond to this thread or email me at [email protected].

[Amxcvbcv]

Anyone know where I can find some crimson scrubs with hopefully the OU logo on them? I just got hired for a part-time job in an ER, and was told I can wear whatever color I want. 😀

Any ideas how much they cost?

Oh... and speaking more to the topic of the thread:

I graduated in May last year, so I was not a full-time student in the summer or fall. I took one class in the fall (Cellular Pathology with Dr. Mroczka), volunteered at the Integris hospital in Yukon (Awesome!), and worked part-time at my church. I guess my point is that you don't have to be a full-time student. The admissions people will understand that if you do graduate you might be better off working and earning money to pay bills.

Also, as far as I know you need written permission to take the MCAT more than three times. 😛

And... I did not retake the MCAT.

So, I guess I bucked several trends.

Don't worry too much if you don't fit the status quo. 😎

 

[RachelD]

Great stuff about the workshop. I'll see if have anything to add.
Let's see.
THE CLASS SIZE NEXT YEAR IS BEING EXPANDED TO 162!
For you waitlisters they accepted 159 for their class of 150 this year.
Dr. Hall said that they only interviewed 242 people this year. I thought someone else said 270 so I'm not sure!
They accepted 137 residents and 22 non-residents. I think that non-resident number is a little higher than usual. Dr. Hall said that they lag a little behind on female applicants so I guess that's good for us girls.
I was sitting in the front row durring our small group sessions so I got a look at some of the paperwork. It looks like each interviewer filled out a form on us and writes comments and gives an A (accept) D (not sure what it stands for, Defer maybe) or R (reject).
I also noticed that on my form they had my mcat and gpa listed at the top. The gpa was only my undergrad. It did not include my grad work or my post bac undergrad! So I don't know how I even got an interview with that 3.1 GPA! I recommend that if you have other coursework you call Dotty and make sure she updates the access database that they use to assign interviews so that you get your interview asap. I guess they load the database directly from AMCAS and it just shoots over most recent MCAT and cum undergrad gpa. You needed an mcat of at least an 8.33 or 25 this year to get an interview.
They told me that I was rejected because I did not communicate my committment to medicine or passion for medicine. And I had no patient care experience.
Oh, and improve your life this year. As smittly3L wrote, our Doc, Dr. Wilson, said to spend your time improving your app (no trips to Europe- unless you are doing some medical missions stuff).
I really can't belive they expect us to take the cat every time it is offered! Are they trying to kill us or something? I'm waiting till aug.
That's all I have!

The workshop invitation is included in your rejection letter.

 

[Scarletbegonias]

ahhh... thanks for the info. I guess since I was rejected pre-interview, I received no invite. Well, the mcat thing explains it. I kind of feel jipped (sp?). My gpa is pretty good. And my second attempt at the mcat, an attempt to "improve my score", put me one mcat point (is that within a standard deviation?) below the cut off. My previous mcat score would have been enough.
MechE, have you had any luck with OSU? I called today to see if they still had interview spots open and they do. I was kind of relieved. I thought they would be all gone by now.

Thanks for the info RachelD, here's some stats for us waitlisters on a limbo:

Golden Number Class Size: 150
242 interviewed 159 accepted 35 waitlisted 48 rejected

Now we now, the chances in the beginin' is 159/242 = 65.7%, (speaking post interview acceptance) that's pretty high...

For us waitlisters at this point....
50% acceptance rate = about 18 people must withdraw from the current 159 accepted pool.
75% acceptance rate = about 26 people must withdraw from the current 159 accepted pool.

I didn't factor in the non-res. factor (if a non-res drop, they'll pull a non-res from the waitlist) Chances that a non-resident will withdraw > than a resident withdrawal since in-state tuition is a perk for the residents.

The real question is the matriculant number, people who will actually attend. Let us hope that 35 people will withdraw, so all of us on the waitlist can get in!

***But even people on the waitlist may be given acceptance somewhere else and choose to withdraw from OU. So they may also increase the chances for us waitlisters!

did u guys fill out the brackets yet for march madness?? let's have a little fun! fill them out and post the final four!

1) Oklahoma
2) Penn (super underdog alma mater)
3) Wake Forest
4) Kansas

looking forward to next year.
