Go pokes!!!!
How would I go about setting this up? I would like an excuse to take off work.
I looked into OSU a lot myself. I got accepted a few weeks ago and had interveiws at 7 other schools but I cancelled them because I knew I wasn't going to choose any of them over OSU. I absolutely loved it when I went for my interiew and was beyond excited when I got the call.

Money? Ha! A friend of mine just emailed a link to this article... So, all we have to do is get through to residency, right? 
On the whole, OSU is incredibly affordable compared to other schools I looked at. I felt a little like crying through the financial aid session at my CCOM interview. The financial aid representative at LECOM-Bradenton told us that we wouldn't be able to afford our morning joe. I think OSU's a wise choice.

The great price is almost impossible to pass up...but just a perk for me! It the rest of the school that sold me!

I have been acquainted with him for over 15 years. He is well-respected, and I used him when I sold my last house.

I am still planning on buying, however they changed mortgage laws and student loans are no longer considered valid income on a mortgage application so my original plans are hanging by a string.
Apartment wise I have three complexes that were highly recommended. If I had to choose today, my number one would be the Pinehurst in Sapulpa. Its a straight shoot to school, yet your out of Tulsa and in an excellent area that is cheaply priced (in comparison to what a similar apartment costs in Tulsa metro). Other apartments recommended are the Remington at Memorial in Tulsa/Broken Arrow area and also the Sundance, though they're much older and slightly more run down. I am not a fan of the apartments next to the school after many student testimonials.

Just curious... what have you heard?
I've been living in these apartments for six months and have no complaints. They are a little pricey... but that's really the only negative. The apartments are a little older, but they are really well maintained. The staff are really helpful and act quickly when we need something. The location is great... easy to get onto 244 or the BA, and I won't have to drive next year! Granted, you won't see me walking down Southwest Blvd. late at night... but it's whatever.
My boyfriend and I looked into buying a house, but eventually decided it wasn't the right time for us. He will be traveling a lot for work in the next few years, and I will be in school... so I'm thinking we really won't have the time or energy (or money) to maintain a home. If we're renting and something breaks, all we have to do is call the leasing office.
Thankfully, there are a ton of housing options in Tulsa. We looked at twenty apartments before we chose the one we're in. Definitely something to suite everyone's needs.

Someone cut the catalytic converter off of my vehicle to turn it into a recycling facility for the precious metals that are inside of it in the parking lot at the school closest to Westport during the school day. One person I know had his tailgate stolen and another his motorcycle in the Westport parking lot.
People from my class living in Westport experienced more petty crime than those living in other apartments. There also was a shooting there while I was in school. It is convenient, but not in a great part of town. There are many other choices out there.
My fiancé and I travelled up there last weekend and toured a few properties for sell and also about 12 complexes. Our favorites so far are the lincoln/villas at memorial. For the price you get the gated access and police patrol and newer construction with new appliancies. They also had a special for 100 off normal rent so a 2 be which costs normally 875 for 1100 sq ft is 775, and that won't go up.
Were going to go up again some time soon and tour a few more and finalize our choice. We discussed buying bit for what we can afford, it's more practical to rent.

I personally wouldn't want to drive from that area in to school.
There are some brand new apartments off of Hwy 75 near 81st St. Right by the big new Tulsa Hills shopping center and about 8 minute drive from school. I have no idea how much they cost, but if you haven't checked into them I'd suggest you do.

I think that would be a nice area to live, too. Close to downtown, close to the riverwalk, and enough local shopping to minimize trips to 71st ST.
Do you know what they are called?
That sounds right.
They may very well be pricey. They're brand new & in a good area.
I'm not sure what's available for rent in Jenks or Glenpool, but the drive from either one would be much easier than what you listed on Memorial.
I live in Jenks almost to Glenpool and my drive to the hospital (which is a little farther than the med school) is about 12 minutes and a very easy drive. Both Hwy 169 and the BA (which you'd have to take to get from those apts on Memorial) have significantly more traffic issues, along with it being a longer drive.
Obviously we all have our personal preferences. I've lived in Tulsa for over 27 years (just the last couple have been in Jenks) so I'm just trying to share my perspective of livability, traffic, time of commute (ie: time away from family and studying), etc.

I extremely appriciate that. My fiance will be student teaching in Jenks starting in august so those would be perfect for both her and I. We are thinking of travelling to Tulsa on MLK day and checking out all the apartments in Jenks and down towards glenpool.

Avoid Tulsa public. Most of the major outlying communities have good districts, with the best being Jenks, Union, Broken Arrow, and Bixby.
I used to be a public school teacher in my previous life. Taught in BA, have made a point to live in Jenks district even though my kid goes to private. Hubby & I graduated from Jenks many moons ago. 😉
What are they student teaching in?

They both should be fine.
My wife worked at Owasso Public several years ago (secondary ed. science), and she really liked it. The only reason she left was to take a position in Bartlesville where we live.
I got an invite for admitted student day today. It was in a newsletter format. Anyone else?

It came by snail mail only in a yellow catalog envelope. It is very similar to the admitted student newsletter PDF for the 2013 class that you can view on the OSU-COM website.
The date is February 20. Registration and coffee is at 9:15. Brunch is served, and family members are invited.
Ahh yes, I forgot to mention the other important thing about admitted student day. We get to meet our fellow classmates and their families in person. I think that alone makes it an awesome day!
Having attended medx three times and the interview day, what more can I learn? But I'll probably go just for the cool factor
What is medx? I saw it on the newsletter thing, but I have no idea what it is.
