The interviewers tell you what AAMC core competency they are assessing during the interview before each question

My interviewers were not very friendly

Admissions is friendly

SDN

OU Tulsa - the medical students & staff participating in interview activities seem to be better prepared/equipped to answer questions regarding upcoming changes, etc. (compared to OKC); OKC - everyone was kind and professional, but a little less welcoming (compared to Tulsa)

OU Tulsa - I wish I'd known my interview time slot & that similar to OKC, you'll have a panel of 2-3 people interviewing you. It is more casual/relaxed, but they do ask you some typical interview Qs. OU OKC - that the focus really does seem to be just on the core competencies for the interview

OU Tulsa - nothing; OU OKC - from the interview, it didn't feel like they really tried to get to know me (probably from lack of time); students didn't have many answers about curriculum changes (comparing them to OU Tulsa students who were able to provide answers on this)

OU Tulsa - everyone was so kind & welcoming! OU OKC - interviewers were friendly

I made a spreadsheet of all the Qs from sdn + basic interview Qs (i.e. why medicine, etc.), wrote out my answers, used the STAR method, & practiced verbalizing answers with multiple people

Overall a great experience! I was expecting to be grilled on the core competencies but I really wasn't. My interviewers were friendly and provided visible/verbal feedback to my answers. The curriculum restructuring seems to be for the better, as they switch to flipped classroom and active learning.

It was less stressful than I was expecting it to be

There was lots of clicking into and out of different Zoom links, it could've been streamlined

The interviewers were very friendly and welcoming

Talked to current students, read SDN, typed out my responses in advance, read AAMC core competencies

How relaxed the interview was. The interviewers are very polite and friendly.

Recalling personal stories of times I displayed the AAMC Core Competencies.

I had a good time. Much more laid back than I thought it would be.

your interview is split into two sessions. The first asks questions that coincide with each of the values of aamc.

their continued examples of how OU listens to their students and enacts change quickly based on student recommendation

practice questions. review answers. review application
