What impressed you negatively?

"Lunch was very good, but all of the presentations that we had after lunch were unimpressive. I can't even tell you what they were b/c they were so bad. Also, one of my interviewers was a foreign-born pathologist. I had a very hard time understanding his questions and relating to him." Report Response

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

"OU is a top notch school. I didn't think it would be as impressive as it seemed.

I only heard them claim to provide the best education that they could, which was impressive. Again, I just recommend that you relax!" Report Response
