I interviewed today for the University of Oklahoma College of Medicine. Today was only the second day of interviews, meaning I beat a lot of people out, which makes me a teensy bit proud.
OU, however, was not my first choice.
I want to go to Oklahoma State University College of Osteopathic Medicine. First of all, it's in Tulsa, meaning Olen and I wouldn't have to move. Second of all, it's an osteopathic school. I really wanted to learn manipulative medicine.
OSU will not interview me. A small technicality in their application requirements confused me, and has therefore made me ineligible for acceptance. I won't pretend that this isn't my fault, and I've looked at countless colleges over the last two days trying to find a way out of this mess. But it's no use. OU is now my first and only choice.
At first I was severely upset. And then I went there today. The campus is absolutely beautiful, the students are friendly and welcoming. The technology they have there is ... impressive (to say the least). While I'm not thrilled at the idea of moving from this house that I've only recently finished decorating, I am excited about the change this will bring. Most people don't like change. I thrive on it.
But none of this matters if my interviewers didn't like me. First, I must be accepted.
I'm sorry it's not your first choice, but you'll do great no matter where you are, you're so smart! I'll be praying that your interviews go well! It will be weird that we won't be able to have spontaneous mario parties, (not that we have many now, haha) but we'll just have to bring the party to you! Congratulations on making it through the first round of interviews! Love you!
