When did you submit your app? I submitted at the end of Oct. and I haven't heard anything either.

I am confused. I choose to interview on Jan 14th and was it it a bad idea? Are the admissions on a rolling basis?

Ace... I believe OU is on rolling admissions. However, I believe there were only two interview dates before the one you chose. I think you will be fine

Ugh.... Submitted my application about the middle of October. Still haven't heard anything and these rolling admissions have me worried.

Anything at this point. I am nervous about it and excited at the same time! I took my interview on Dec. 11. In 5 days! =) I hear that you have to write an essay on that day? What is that typically about? Thanks in advance Cyclo!

Did you submit your Supplemental application and PharmCAS at the same time in Mid October?...I thought there may be a trend that if the supp app was submitted by mid Oct or before, the interview invites were sent in November.
I submitted my main application in september and the supp app in mid/end of October (a week or two after my October PCAT)
I had my interview Dec 2nd. It went pretty good I think. You have a group orientation, and then you split up into groups of 5-6. You have an ambassador who shows you around campus and takes you to the places you need to be. You will do photos, lab coat fitting, some paperwork, and interviews. Each group does those activities in a different order. Some groups interview first then take photos, etc. My group did all the activities and were last to interview.
The interview is three people (a faculty member, a student, and a community pharmacist). You go in a room by yourself with your three interviewers. It is a little nerve-wracking, but they all try to make you comfortable. My interview was conversational as well as just questions.
Everyone is really helpful and nice. They are willing to answer any questions, and they try to make you as comfortable as they can.
I think my interview went pretty good. I was nervous, and some things might not have came out exactly as I wanted. However, I think they knew what I meant. They ask questions about you and your experiences...life..etc. Also, they ask situational questions...what if this happened?
So, now just waiting to hear back. They said we would know before the holidays! I am hoping for something this week, but that is probably wishful thinking! Yes, they do rolling admissions, but there are several more interview dates.
Good luck to you all!

Also, I forgot to mention there wasn't an essay! So, don't worry about that. We were all relieved to not have to do another essay!

Oh Ok, so they probably got your main app early and that's why you already got an invite. Did anyone submit all apps at the end of October and already get an invite to interview?

Was there a group presentation? What kind of questions did they ask you specifically?
No, there wasn't a group presentation. Some specific questions were:
Tell us about yourself.
Why OU?
What role do you play in a group?
What would you do if someone in your group wasn't doing their part?
Where do you see yourself in 10 years as a pharmacist?
What qualities do you have that contribute to you being successful?
Tell us a mistake you made and how you learned from it.
How do you think the course load is compared to your course load now? And how do you plan on handling it?
Things like that...and they just feed off of what you say and ask you questions about your answers.
Hope this helps! I practiced my response to a ton of questions, and I didn't feel like they asked me anything off the wall. But somehow when your in there...things just don't come out or you can't think of a certain word you want to say..ha ! I think the most important thing is to just answer and not sit there silent.
hey kikizmom, i think i was in your group LOL we were the last to interview. I was the other girl in the group so hahah i don't know if you remember me.
As for the interview, it was pretty laid back, even though it was a panel interview. I personally didn't get any situational questions but I prepared myself by practicing with the past year's questions listed on sdn (you might want to do search or something). They feed off of your answers and ask you back the specifics about your responses, so I would make sure you could back up the things you say and the things you have done in the past (like volunteering, working, and etc). the school seems great and really focused on their students oh yeah we got our responses today 
so good luck for those of you interviewing soon

Got your responses today? Do they send out comments on the interview or???
Yeap, I got my response today via email. I don't really know what you mean by comments. Are you asking if they've given me feedback on my interview? If so, no.

Thanks guys, I actually couldnt find the link to last years questions...All I could find was from 2009... If anyone can post the link I appreciate it.
And as far as feedback, are you guys talking about receiving comments about interview or an acceptance offer?
I received an acceptance email today from Ms. Richardson at 4pm. I'm a little surprised at how quickly I received my acceptance; only 6 days since I interviewed. Good luck to all those wait and especially to those who interview this Saturday.

Oh my! Congrats to ALL of you! I am so excited for you! I take my interview on Sat. Now I am wishing I would have chosen the first date. LOL! YAY!!! I hope I get to join you guys soon!!!
The e-mail says an official letter will be sent within one week. I'm guessing that has the details in it. I think it is a 500 dollar deposit and probably a week or so to send it. Exciting! I'm glad to pay it ha ha!
I will be at the Tulsa campus

I am more than happy to help any out of state students with any questions, good areas to live, etc. for those coming to Tulsa. If you would like, we can set up a day and I can show you around town and take you to some good areas to live around ... Just let me know I know I would want some help if I were out of state You may want to send a direct message, so I will be sure and notice it!
Those that interviewed Dec 2nd... I was wearing the black pinstripe suit, long brown hair, blue shirt underneath... Kikizmom and OhGeez- what were you wearing? One of you live in Jay?

I was wearing a pantsuit that was greyish with some pinstripe lining the pockets with a teal ruffled shirt underneath, shoulder length dark brown hair ( I used to have really long hair like yours, and I miss it very much..ha!) and purple frame glasses.
We all need to get together sometime..it would be fun! I live in Claremore, OK.
Wow, they worked fast. I interviewed on Saturday and got the acceptance letter on Tuesday...
Dang! That is fast.... Well beter for u right? Congrats to those who got in

Me either. I wish I didn't wait till the end of October to submit all of my apps! I'm pretty sure they haven't sent out the 2nd round of invites. I checked their website and there are interviews on Jan.13 and 14th and Feb. 26. Hopefully, after the holidays we'll get THE e-mail!

I also got a invitation today. I had given up on recieving a interview. It makes a nice Christmas present.
yay am so happy, I got an interview invite too....the thing is I already have an interview set for jan 14 at Texas Tech. I am from Texas and TTU is my first choice, I wouldn't want to shift the date because it is the first interview date and my chances are higher then.
However, much as I hate to interview on the last date, I might have to settle for the feb 26 date. I really wish the dates were a little different.....
