@comomom that is so exciting! Wishing your daughter the best! Mine is going to U of Alabama instead. It was hard to turn down the opportunity at OU. She really liked our visit there.
@2kidsinky What did they say in terms of referring her spot to someone else?
@CoComom When are all of the interview days?
March 23 and March 27 are the interview days.
@ang331, they didn’t say anything about it. It was just the invitation to attend the interview day, not an acceptance. Hopefully they invited someone in her place. DD literally had just made her decision for Alabama and had emailed notifications to all of her other schools, when OU sent an email about Medical Humanities. So she also emailed that department directly. Good luck!
Does anyone know what the Medical Humanities Scholars Program interviews are like?
@Cocomom I imagine it will be a more traditional interview, OU does not have a history of doing MMIs or at least anything that I have heard. I would reach out to the Honors College and ask or go to the College of Medicine website and see how they conduct their interviews since it’s jointly coordinated by the both.
My DD got the email today that she was selected as one of the Medical Humanities Scholars for this year at OU!!! Woot, Woot!!!
That’s great! Congratulations!!
@CoMoMom, congratulations. You will have to update us on your D’s final decision.
Congratulations, CoMoMom! Are you in-state?
No, we are from out of state.
CoMoMom’s DD was from OOS, and last year was admitted to the Medical Humanities Scholars Program. My Southern Californian DD has applied this year. So, I decided to resurrect this thread! As I understand it, the interviews this year will take place March 25 & 28, 2016.
I’ve been looking for a thread for medical humanities for this yr hope this works. @RayznHELL i think ive seen you at the national merit finalist thread. are you also going to scholars2sooners tomorrow? I’m hoping to get more info from this relatively secretive program
@adramelech, we are not going to Scholars2Sooners because my DD did not check her email until University of Oklahoma National Merit Department had already filled the 40 spots. We are crossing our fingers hoping she gets invited to campus for an interview for the Medical Humanities Scholars Program (“MHSP”). Applications for the program were due January 8, 2016. Did you or your DD/DS apply?
Oh that’s unfortunate. Yes I applied back in December
Anyone hear back for medical humanities stuff yet? Last year, people heard around this time.
My DD has not heard anything from MHSP yet. I wonder–will we be informed if she is NOT going to be interviewed?
@vrhou98 Yesterday, Friday afternoon, I spoke with OU’s NMF Assistant Director Tyler Nunley, who said that Honors College Associate Professor & MHSP Director Dr. Sarah W. Tracy will be sending out the MHSP interview notices. At the same time, or before, she will send a list of the invitees to the NMSP since most invitees will also be NMFs. It will probably happen early this coming week.
Oh, thanks for the info. Is your daughter a national merit finalist?
