Didn’t make it for OKC. Got accepted to Lawton, but I can’t drive that far so I’m not going to accept.

I only applied to OU’s OKC location. I’m placed on the alternate/waiting list but I applied to a couple of other programs so fingers crossed ??. Good luck!

I emailed them and told them I didn't want to accept Lawton. Basically they told me they cannot tell you how deep you are in the waitlist for OKC, but they have exhausted the entire waitlist in the past and sometimes they don't even touch it. It makes it extremely difficult to plan for anything without even a clue as to the possibility of getting in. I applied for OCCC and hopefully I have a better chance there. I don't think I am going to apply anywhere else.

Have you thought about OSU-OKC?

No I haven’t. Wasn’t sure if I should check it out. Got bad feeling from UCO

Look into it. OSU-OKC does require the HESI though. A minimum score of 75.

I’m guessing my not getting accepted was due to my 2.7gpa. The requirements that use cumulative GPA are unfair to older students that started over. I noticed OSU/OKC uses retention GPA.

I have 2 AS degrees which is the only reason it came up cumulatively. I was skeptical whether I would get a chance. Too many people have done better than 2.7 which isn’t hard if you try. I literally didn’t show up and I have 6 F’s on my transcript. The California rules for forgiveness require you to obtain a degree which isn’t happening.

Hey guys, I got in to lawton but I live in OKC. Planning to move to lawton. Does anyone know if they have student housing over there or if you have to find your own accommodation off campus.

I believe all the clinicals are in Duncan, OK. Quite a ways away. You might consider living there if that’s still the case.

I wonder if the waitlisted people will get a chance after this virus? Bet people are scared. T

Got a call call today and I am accepted for OKC. I kinda knew they would call too late to sign up for classes. Only problem is I need an anatomy class. Not sure where I am going to get that done at. Anyone needed an anatomy class in a hurry and found one?
