ltran Posted June 21, 2016 Just thought I would start it since no one has yet. Submitted all my apps and secondary. Good luck to everyone! :D
pdbhakta Posted June 22, 2016 Submitted all of my stuff a couple weeks ago. I called them and they said they look at all of the applications at the same time Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
xNeferpitou Posted June 24, 2016 Good luck to everyone applying. I'm not applying until next cycle, but here is a tip. If you haven't been to an advisement session, register here and go https://hippocrates.ouhsc.edu/advisement/pa/default.cfm If they see that you attended one, it will be another box that they check when considering you for an interview/acceptance. The next one is August 2nd, 2016. I'll be there aswell :) Good luck everyone!
ltran Posted June 29, 2016 Author Also, shadow a PA student there, especially if you're from Oklahoma. Thats another one of the "check box"
xNeferpitou Posted June 30, 2016 Also, shadow a PA student there, especially if you're from Oklahoma. Thats another one of the "check box" Are you a student or an applicant?
ltran Posted July 5, 2016 Author I am an applicant but heard about this from a PA student I shadowed with in class and a PA who is on one of the boards that I shadowed with clinically.
xNeferpitou Posted July 9, 2016 I am an applicant but heard about this from a PA student I shadowed with in class and a PA who is on one of the boards that I shadowed with clinically. Okay, awesome. I'm still a junior, so I can't apply until next cycle. :) Another thing the admissions lady told me is that they only offer interviews to the applicants with the highest GPAs and that after the interview is when they look at your overall application, like hce/shadowing/ect.
PAaspirant Posted July 10, 2016 Also, shadow a PA student there, especially if you're from Oklahoma. Thats another one of the "check box" How do you make arrangement to shadow a PA student ? I do not know any PA students yet.
xNeferpitou Posted July 10, 2016 How do you make arrangement to shadow a PA student ? I do not know any PA students yet. Students who are interested in shadowing a current student may do so by emailing pastudents-okc@ouhsc.edu. Please allow a couple of days for a student to get back to you due to them being in class from 8-5 most days. They will coordinate which day will work best not only for your schedule, but theirs. Exam days are not allowed as shadow days.
Louisnlife Posted July 14, 2016 neferpitou...Did an admission lady really tell you that they only offer interviews to those with the highest GPA? It just seems like thats rather a shallow way of going about it. No doubt a gpa can speak volumes about a candidates academic abilities however does not give a ligament interpretation of a candidates other strengths. Im not doubting what you said Im just a bit surprised.

No doubt a gpa can speak volumes about a candidates academic abilities however does not give a ligament interpretation of a candidates other strengths. Im not doubting what you said Im just a bit surprised. I am going to disagree. I received an interview, ultimately turned it down because I had been accepted elsewhere, but I can definitely say my GPA was nowhere near the highest GPA. I was an older applicant with a middle of the pack GPA with a lot of other great stuff on my application. I would take the GPA comment about "only offer(ing) interviews to the applicants with the highest GPAs" with a grain of salt.
saakielizabeth Posted September 27, 2016 Has anyone received interviews? I have submitted everything and just waiting.
KDB10701 Posted September 28, 2016 Has anyone received interviews? I have submitted everything and just waiting. I believe another applicant posted that they look at all the applications at the same time. Since the deadline is Oct 1, I'm assuming we won't hear anything until after then.
okiepa-s Posted October 5, 2016 I talked to Jami last week, and she said that she would likely be sorting through applications this week and they are hoping to call applicants starting next week regarding interviews. Interviews will tentatively occur the first week of November.
mweeks76 Posted October 10, 2016 Has anyone received an interview yet? My app has been completed and verified just waiting to hear.
okiepa-s Posted October 14, 2016 Just got my call for an interview! My interview is Monday, November 7th in the afternoon. Good luck everyone :)
pdbhakta Posted October 14, 2016 Same, but I plan on declining the interview Hopefully it opens up a spot for someone! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
KDB10701 Posted October 14, 2016 If you guys don't mind sharing, what are you stats? I'm just curious as to what kind of applicants they are offering interviews.
mweeks76 Posted October 14, 2016 I spoke with someone at the office the other day and they said last year everyone with a 3.0 GPA got an interview. I don't know if that is the case this year but you never know. I am going to disagree. I received an interview, ultimately turned it down because I had been accepted elsewhere, but I can definitely say my GPA was nowhere near the highest GPA.
