cee2021 Posted June 29, 2020 Share Posted June 29, 2020 I was so incredibly disappointed to learn that OU is taking much smaller cohort from this cycle :(. For those who aren't aware, they pushed their cohort that was supposed to start in May 2020 to January 2021 due to the pandemic and thus are taking a smaller a cohort from our cycle since they already have 32 students starting in January. I wish I had known this prior to applying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is what I was told over email: "Since we already have a cohort selected for our next start date, we will not be accepting a full cohort for this year’s CASPA application cycle. Instead, we may add a 2-10 more seats to the cohort. The number of seats that we will add will ultimately be determined in the fall. For next year’s CASPA application cycle (2021/2022), we will be accepting a full cohort." 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does anyone know what the assessment entails or what kind of questions will be on it? Hi there! I am a current student with the program, and while we are unable to disclose specific details about the assessment portion of the interview, I can say that it is just there so that faculty and staff can get to know you better and about your general thought process. My general advice, albeit generic interview advice, is to come to the interview with prepared questions that you'd like to ask, relax and be yourself. The interview process is very relaxed and low-pressure! As a current student in the program, please feel free to reach out if you, or anyone else applying has questions regarding the program, PA school in general, or anything else. I am happy to help however I can! Best of luck! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got an interview for this cycle and was wondering if you could provide anymore advice on how to prepare or what I should anticipate seeing in the interview? I know you can't reveal specific details about it, but what types of things should I look out for? Thanks in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
