野狼社区 University has partnered with the Oklahoma State University Center for Health Sciences to guarantee interviews for select OCU pre-med students. The program, utilized by eight other Oklahoma universities, provides a clear path to interviews with the OSU College of Osteopathic Medicine.
To qualify for the program, students must meet academic criteria, including a minimum 3.5 GPA and 502 MCAT score. Prospective students who have met the full criteria will be guaranteed an invitation to interview with the OSU-COM admissions committee.
鈥淥CU students consistently receive a high rate of acceptance into medical schools and other competitive graduate programs,鈥� said Helen Gaudin, associate dean of OCU鈥檚 Petree College of Arts & Sciences. 鈥淕uaranteed interview programs like this one offer students tremendous peace of mind because hardworking students know they can count on being granted a coveted interview spot if they meet the academic standards.鈥�
OSU-COM established this program to encourage promising pre-med students to pursue careers in Oklahoma. By alleviating the stress of having to secure an interview, the initiative reduces obstacles for students to further their medical education.
鈥淲e are proud to partner with 野狼社区 University to offer the Guaranteed Interview Program to eligible pre-med students,鈥� said JuLee Wells, director of recruitment for the College of Osteopathic Medicine. 鈥淥CU is the first private institution to collaborate with OSU-COM to offer this unique pathway to their students.鈥�
In an effort to retain exceptional students with demonstrated knowledge in their fields, OCU also provides a guaranteed interview program for undergraduate students pursuing advanced degrees in physical therapy, clinical psychology, and physician assistant studies. Both the in-house program and partnerships such as the school鈥檚 agreement with OSU-COM aid students in their pursuit of higher education.
